England vs Egypt Friendly on March 3rd, 2010
UPDATE: England vs Egypt matchday post.
No England football fixtures for a while, but our next game has just been announced. It is:
England vs Egypt
March 3rd, 2010 at Wembley.
Egypt aren’t going to World Cup 2010 as they narrowly missed out after losing the specially arranged playoff to their North African rivals (and our Group C opponents) Algeria. But Egypt are a fine team, as Africa Cup of Nations wins in 2006 and 2008 suggest. They’ll play us after the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola, so could even be consecutive three time winners by the time they come to Wembley.
If you want to get even more familiar with Egypt then follow our coverage of the Africa Cup of Nations 2010 on the WorldCupBlog front page and/or pay a visit to Tamim at Egypt WCB.
For us, this will be the first game in the buildup to South Africa. Seems smart enough, assuming there are superficial similarities between Algeria and Egypt. Will be interesting to see whether Capello goes with the first XI he plans to start at the World Cup or does a bit of experimentation to figure out who will make his 23 man squad.
