England played their penultimate friendly game before the

World Cup last night against Mexico at Wembley. The Three Lions ended the game
as 3-1 winners but the scoreline was rather flattering because England were
clearly not at their best.
Mexico enjoyed more possession in the game, had more shots
and more corners. Some people may argue that it doesn’t matter how badly we
played, we still won the match. Although true it doesn’t bode well for our
chances against stronger opposition we may face at the World Cup. What’s your
view on this?
The 30-man squad fly back to their training camp in Austria
tomorrow; then they play one final warm-up game against Japan on Sunday. A week
today Fabio Capello has to make his decision on who to leave out as he must
trim the squad down to a final 23-man squad that will make the plane to South
Africa. It is no doubt going to be an extremely tough decision. Which seven
players would you leave behind?
We’d love to hear your thoughts from last night’s game and
what you make of England’s chances at the tournament. Who would you have in the
starting line-up? Leave your comments below.

We should take a positive from last night's game. Ok, so England didn't play at their best but we still managed a 3-1 win. Imagine what the score would have been if we had played our best! I'm sure all the players want to perform their best in the friendlies and in training to impress Fabio but they must have the worry of risking injury before the tournament at the back of their mind's as well. I still think there's a lot more to come from the England team. Let's just hope we see it at the World Cup.
