Firstly Englands First Friendly Since We crashed out to Portugal in Germany so there will be alot of wounds need patching up.

Secondly Mcclarens first England Game. McClaren who was in charge of boro would have never felt pressure like this before knowing he has the nations hopes lying on his shoulders and the eleven he picks. So this will be a real test for mcclarens patience.

Thirdly New Captain. Beckham came with a huge reputation and thats what possibly made sven chose him for the captaincy he was a big player and thats what sven thought he needed in his captain but for me Gerrard and Terry tick all the right captain boxes and im more than happy he has got it.

Greece who are a great playing side will be looking to win this as they must feel that englands team are very wounded. However England Will most definetly be hoping to make it up to the immense England fans who went out to Germany to support them so they will go out with all guns blazing.

My team

Neville
Terry ©
Carragher / Ferdinand

I think he'll play it cautiously in his first game:

Robinson

Neville Terry Ferdinand Cole

Lennon Gerrard Lampard Downing

Defoe

Crouch

But I'd like to see:

Robinson

Carragher Terry Ferdinand

Hargreaves

Gerrard Lampard

Lennon Defoe

Crouch

Just Curious how it might work....... :cool:

Really not sure whats the point of this so soon after the World Cup.
Dont agree with big Sam much but his rant about this fixture just at start of season is spot on
However hope to see a new era for England where form rather then rep rules the selection sheets

Dont really care about this friendly at all, bloody stupid time to have a match like this

by **dward** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 10:16 am

Hopefully the rumours are true - then Lampard will be dropped.

by **RflaviusD** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 10:18 am

England will win this match.Greece had 2 much luck at EURO 2004. I think the score will be 2-0 for England.

This has to be the most ridiculous time to play an international friendly. I hope no Liverpool players play :angry:

by **RichardLFC1** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 12:58 pm

Steve Mcclaren has just named the Team live on ssn

Robinson

Neville Terry Ferdinand A.cole

Gerrard Lampard Hargraves Downing

Defoe Crouch

Appaently mcclaren has had a talk with benitez and rafa is more than happy with gerrard playing on the right

by **stmichael** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 3:35 pm

gerrard on the right? just more evidence that lampard will not be dropped under any circumstances.

by **CardinalRed** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 4:53 pm

Dean Ashton was gonna play but did his ankle in training this morning.....
:cool:

by **madred** » Wed Aug 16, 2006 8:50 pm

PETER CROUCH MAKES IT 3-0.

by **madred** » Wed Aug 16, 2006 8:53 pm

PETER CROUCH AGAIN 4-0. Come on another england hat trick on the way.

by **Alonso14** » Wed Aug 16, 2006 8:56 pm

Gerrards bossing the game. He's everywhere. This could be bad news for Pennant.

by **Kingy354** » Wed Aug 16, 2006 9:02 pm

4-0 at half time! Not bad.

They haven't looked more comfortable as a team than they have so far tonight, for God knows how long.
