Who do you think will start?

Who i'd like to see:

Green

L. Young--Upson--Jagielka--Bridge

Lampard--Carrick--Barry

Milner A. Young

Heskey--Agbonlahor


Who I think we'll see:

Green

Jagielka??--Terry--Ferdinand--Cashley

S.W.P--Lampard--Barry--A. Young

Heskey--Agbonlahor


I know Luke Young didn't fly due to injury, but i'd still like him to play

[Miyazaki]

Milner and Young were supposed to be wide in the first formation but for some reason it auto aligned the text left after I painstakingly pressed space about 3 million times

[Wild Weasel]

Up the Villa!

I am certain that Capello won't pick 12 men

ah yes, the old 4-5-2 formation trick...responsible forhte very deliberite head count you see the ref's doing before the game...

[montybaber]

Cant ever remember us ever having so many players in the squad

[Sicknote10]

When Spurs were in the top 4 (briefly) a few years ago they had 6 in the England squad too, so nice to see Villa doing the same now!

I'd like to see:

Green
Johnson - Ferdinand - Jagielka - Bridge
Beckham - Carrick - Lampard - Young
Heskey - Agbonlahor

I have no doubt spurs will be mixing it up there next season, but with 'Arry in charge, it'll be african league of nations, not england players.

Can't be any worse than a ref giving someone 3 yellow cards.

[Sicknote10]

James
Johnson - Terry - Jagielka - Cole
SWP - Barry - Carrick - Downing
Heskey - Agbonlahor


Hmm not sure on the wingers, and would have liked to see one of the other keepers get a go

[Miyazaki]

Is kick-off 8:30 or 9:00 does anyone know? Cheers.

[Sicknote10]

9pm, local time of 10pm I think, can't imagine that ever happening here!

LOL

im actually seriously considering starting a stream as i think i could find a better quality stream that what is being broadcast to me in my front room at the moment!

i know ITV stuff has been poor but it has to be a Spanish broadcast issue more than ITV? or maybe a devastating combo?

its not even in widescreen is it? Myabe we should have lent the spanish people a decent camera for a couple of hours.

I've had better quality streams on the internet, That's an insult to steams!

Goes to show how **** ITV is as Sky Sports SD of Spanish football is class but this is just a total joke.

I really hope Sky get ITV HD soon or i may never watch another England Friendly again after tonight.

[ALIAS-ZERO]

Yeah the picture is pretty bad, for a second I thought Downing was playing on the left again...

...oh.

[Beany31]

It's a spanish set of cameras I think, there's half an inch cut off each side

Sky Sports don't have a problem when broadcasting La Liga using Spanish broadcasters.

Downing was class the last time England played against Germany. **** knows how he is in the side as he's playing awful for Boro but he was class the last time he pulled on an England shirt.

[bekko]

Terrible quality it should be on sphd.

true but i really dont think this is all down to ITV. its not even being broadcast in widescreen from what i can see.

[avinitski]

usually you can tell who the players are from body shape and movement but im struggling to recognise the players on the zoomed out main camera.

[Aaron D84]

Has anyone noticed that when they go into the close up shots of the sidelines the screen switches to 16:9 and the PQ is good.

Yeah I noticed that, it's ridiculous.

[bekko]

Are mini marshmellow creature from ghostbusters playing tonight lol.

[Beany31]

It's like playing FIFA or something, you can't see who it is really from the zoomed out cameras lol

PQ is better but still not full widescreen for me?

It's not full screen no. And nah not really, it's just you expect the quality to be decent, you can't even see the numbers on the backs of players clearly on the main zoomed out cameras, it's bad broadcasting.

[avinitski]

crazy to think Match of the Day from the 70's is even better quality than this.
