After two wins against Mexico, 3-1, against Japan, 2 goals to 1, Fabio Capello decided to contrast his selection against a local team of Platinum Stars. Let's recall that the English will start June 12 against the United States.

At the last preparatory meeting, the selection English showed a face very attractive to an opponent's fault too low, perhaps! The novelty of Fabio Capello was the positioning of Steven Gerrard in midfield axis of a true collector, when he had the "habit of changing on the left flank.

This positioning is certainly of the temporary absence through injury of Gareth Barry. Even if England has not been exceptional partners Rio Ferdinand (package for the World) recorded a victory over Platinum Stars (South African first division), with a score of 3 goals to 0.

The English players have perhaps not taken this game seriously, but in any case, Fabio Capello seemed anxious after the meeting on certain points of his training. Indeed, the pair Steven Gerrard-Frank Lampard has not been brilliant and Glenn Johnson did not once again produced a great performance at right back position.

On the offensive side, Wayne Rooney has been struck and it seems difficult to do without striker Reds since Jermaine Defoe (author of a goal), Peter Crouch and Emile Heskey have too often been transparent and they have alternated a significant number of bad choices.

Upon its entry into the game, Wayne Rooney blew defense Platinum Stars with a center back for Joe Cole and with a volley, which ends at the back of the net, a center of James Milner. The Red Devils striker has tarnished the end of games.
