Who saw the England Z-team beat the USA on Saturday. I thought the whole thing was a bit of a farce to be honest. Neither team had their best team out, and it's just an excuse for Sven to hand out the formally revered and treasured England caps, like jelly beans, to anyone who happens to be English, and fit at the time. It's a joke.

Dawson, Carrick, James, Brown, Knight and Young, have done absolutely nothing to warrant winning a cap for their country. Ridiculous. Why did they not wait another week for the first team to become available and do it properly. No wonder the American general public can't get into football, if we send a bunch of B-list players to go and represent one of the worlds most famous footballing nations.

I'd like to think the team we play against Colombia tomorrow will be of a higher standard than the one on Saturday. Still, it does highlight the gulf in class between USA and England in terms of strength in depth. I think their best 11 would have hammered the 11 we put out on Saturday.
