David Beckham got to start and earn his 100th cap for England but other than that there’s nothing much to say about the England squad, they look completely lost in the first half with the 4-5-1 formation as Rooney looked dazed and the changes in the second half didn’t help their cause either.
Franck Ribery was having absolute fun as he tore up the England defence and he scored through the penalty spot after David James hacked down Anelka.
Rio got to lead the squad out as captain, Lampard is missing and the 4-5-1 formation sucks, hopefully Capello changes things soon,otherwise it’s going to be same old same old.

Well what a waste of a few hours that game was. Was expecting it to be a fairly entertaining game but it turned out the same way every other recent England friendly has - dull. I really must ask the question - what is the point of these games at this stage of the season? I can understand a friendly during the close season or in between a big break between qualifying matches or something to keep players fresh but this was a joke game. Far too many players on both sides just concentrating on not getting injured rendered the second half pointless and turned it into an exhibition game. Spare us next time please.
