England's first warm-up match for the World Cup is tomorrow night at the Madejski Stadium.
Officially it's a "B" international, which means it doesn't count as a full international and caps won't be awarded. However, the starting XI are all going to the World Cup so it will be very interesting to see how it goes. I would expect because it's not a full international, Sven will be able to make as many substitutions as he wants.
England's remaining warm-ups are against Hungary on Tuesday and Jamaica the following Saturday.
Starting XI to play Belarus: James Hargreaves A Cole Carragher Campbell Lennon Jenas Carrick Downing Owen (c) Crouch
Subs: Green Bridge P Neville Dawson J Cole Defoe Johnson Walcott Carson

It is a good way to get a look at some of the fringe players... should be fairly competitive, and I think the team he has got out should teach him a few things about his players! looking forward to it!

Apparently it's being reported that he's out of the World Cup. Scott Carson will be our 3rd choice keeper.

Walcott may have got the biggest cheer of the night cos he's a local lad, went to school in the area and may have been in our academy in his early years. Apparently the attendance figure was rubbish there were at least 5000 empty seats. All because the M4 was a car park and ppl just turned round knowing they werent going to make it. Doesnt bode well for next season really. Back on topic didnt see the game after debating whether it was worth it, and I'm glad I didnt. Typical England friendly play well for the 1st half, make a series of changes before falling away spectacualarly. Tho I'll admit the equaliser was fortunate. But it didnt sound like Green would be fit for the World Cup having been injured recently so why did he play? I'm pretty sure he'd had a groin injury recently.

green is to thick to play football for england, he knew he did his groin after a save but carried on and tried to kick the ball as hard as he can, im no doctor but im pretty sure thats the last thing you should do!

Well he's not an international keeper imo anyway, not on this seasons perfromances. I find that quite ridicoulous he was only on the pitch for 10 mins wasnt he!

Their equaliser sounded a bit odd, haven't seen it though. What *was* our 2nd-half team that lost 2-0 to Belarus B?

Havent seen it either, but Green was on the floor in pain when it went in
Heres the team
Green (then subbed by Carson) Cole and Walcott came on for Jenas and Owen respectively, and Defoe on for Downing, Dawson on for Crouch.

Belarus are the most unsporting eejits I've seen Green goes to take a normal goal kick, his leg gives way, he collapses in a heap, the ball lands at the feet of Belarus and they just kick it in when Green is quite clearly injured.

Isn't it normal to put the ball out of play when a player is injured?
