Football USA v. England (not American football)

On Saturday 28th May as part of their tour of North America, England will be playing football against USA in Chicago.

I will be going to Andecs in during the day (Weather permiting) and will then head out in the evening to watch the football at The Arc.

Anyone seen the squad -

Robert Green - Norwich City
Scott Carson - Liverpool
David James - Manchester City
Sol Campbell - Arsenal
Matthew Upson - Birmingham City
Wes Brown - Manchester United
Gary Neville - Manchester United (Injured)
Ashley Cole - Arsenal
Phil Neville - Manchester United
Glen Johnson - Chelsea
Jermaine Jenas - Newcastle United
Stewart Downing - Middlesbrough
David Beckham - Real Madrid (Still with Real, will miss game against US)
Michael Carrick - Tottenham Hotspur
Joe Cole - Chelsea
Owen Hargreaves - Bayern Munich
Shaun Wright Phillips - Manchester City
Alan Smith - Manchester United
Michael Owen - Real Madrid (Still with Real, will miss game against US)
Peter Crouch - Southampton
Andy Johnson - Crystal Palace
Jermain Defoe - Tottenham Hotspur

Cant say I'm impressed, though they are only friendlies, come on guys, its the Americans. We cant lose this one!!

Belo Horizonte

fly out tmw. anyone else?

Hmmm, not exactly a full squad! Oh well, will still kick their asses!

Who cares if we win or lose. It's against the USA. It's not like it was a real game, that's why the cream of the squad is missing. Why don't we put the player's wives out there to have a kick about against the USA? Would love to see a professional foul on Victoria Beckham.

would that be a mud, oil, or jello field for the women then Sin?

I have not taken any England friendlies seriously every since Eriksson took charge, He makes a mockery of the whole system. It will be the same old format - one team for the first half and another team for the second (although he will try and do it a bit more subtley ever since new rules were passed to stop him doing just that)

I will be at The Arc for it no doubt but I have little interest in watching it

I don't really care butterbean - just so long as Victoria gets a good kicking.

fair enough. I'd be in for that...

take it for what it is a 10 day piss up in chicago and new york and making the most of the cheap dollar.
