Starting XI looks like this:

– — – — – — – — James — – — – — – —
– Johnson — – Terry — – Upson — – Bridge –
– SWP — – Carrick — – Barry — – Downing –
– — – — Agbonlahor — – Defoe — – — – — –

Subs: Carson, Robinson, Lescott, Richards, Mancienne, Davies, Parker, Bullard, Young, Crouch, Bent.

So no start for Ashley Young or Darren Bent, but Agbonlahor gets his first full cap. Try telling him that friendlies don’t matter.

Germany line up: Adler, Friedrich, Mertesacker, Westermann, Compper, Schweinsteiger, Rolfes, Jones, Trochowski, Gomez, Klose. Subs: Wiese, Hinkel, Tasci, Helmes, Podolski, Marin, Hitzlsperger, Schafer, Weis.

I’m off to watch the game on TV. Please leave any comments below, and I’ll post highlights and thoughts later.
