Friendly - England vs Mexico

Will anyone be catching the game tonight?

I'll probably check it out to see how England will fare. I think it's shown on itv.com.

It's on ITV aswell isn't it?

I'll most likely be watching.

Aye with all this weather i'l be at the pub watching it

Interesting, we're playing Mexico too in two days Though I think players like Sneijder, van Bommel and Robben probably won't be playing then yet. But I think I read the same for England, many players getting rested?

You can just see some big player getting injured on that sh*te pitch can't you.

Mehihoooo

Yes. And it would be F***ing annoying.

Be good if that Hernandez fella does though.

I think the team will line up like this:

                Hart
     Carragher   Ferdinand
Johnson                    Baines

   Huddlestone   Gerrard
Lennon                     Johnson
              Rooney
                   Heskey

Forgot about Carra! Will be great if he starts. Might see Dawson or King though.

What time does this start? I might try and find me a stream for it.

Thanks dude

AHHH I hate me some Mexico national team! Being as I live not 10 minutes from the Mexican border in San Diego, I get more than my fair share of Mexican fans. The school I went to was 80% Mexican, so I nearly got pummeled in 02 when my beloved Yanks gave them the beating at the Copa Mundial

This should be a good tuneup, specifically for your main rivals in the Group, my Yanks. The USA and Mexico are on par with one another (although they play different styles), so if you have trouble with Mexico that isn't a good sign.

That being said, Mexico will want to play with you in terms of possession/passing the ball around, and the quality of your midfield exceeds theirs. The main difference between them and the US is that the US will let England possess the ball and try for a counter, whereas Mexico will try to keep even possession. Their strikers are quite over-rated (I think Vela and El Chicharito aren't ready to lead the line at this World Cup), and their best Center Back has barely played this season (Mr. Marquez at Barca). I fancy a 2-0 or 3-1 win for England.

Should be a good friendly and I'm sure my neighborhood will be shut down. I'll be watching it on Spanish TV, as there will be no other feed for it out here

Dawson and Hart and Johnson are all getting first caps apparently

They are just about to interview Jamie Carragher after the adverts.

Line up for tonights game. I guess I will be able to see Carra play in the second half.

England: Green, Glen Johnson, Ferdinand, King, Baines, Walcott, Gerrard, Carrick, Milner, Crouch, Rooney.

Subs: Hart, James, Carragher, Dawson, Upson, Warnock, Lennon, Parker, Huddlestone, Wright-Phillips, Adam Johnson, Heskey, Defoe

I'm watching it too. haven't seen you guys play in a long time. Should be a good first game to get into the World Cup vibe I hope

Carrick    

Nowhere near good enough for England

Ledley King was all over the place then. Over rated beyond belief!

Walcott has probably been England's best player so far and that's saying something!
