Half time, your thoughts? - Great cross from Joe Cole for that goal. Kind of disappointed in the way he's going down a bit easily and a bit dramatically though. - Rooney's looking more like his old self again. - Lampard's actually working! Is this the start of a return to international form? - AJ and Richards are looking okay so far - not convinced, but they're doing enough. - Looking a bit shakey at the back at times - Disappointed with Carrick's performance so far. I counted 5 or 6 wayward passes in the first twenty minutes alone, and I don't know how often he's given the ball away (for the record, though, it's far too often for my liking). Neither team is looking incredible at the moment, IMO, but if England carry on the second half the way they finished the first, the game should pick up nicely! Incidentally, was anyone else surprised when we suddenly stopped going for long balls at every opportunity? I think they may actually be learning!

Full time; I'm disappointed that we let that sucker goal in, but otherwise I'm at least content with that performance. Richards improved massively, Carrick picked up for the last 20 mins, and AJ looked fairly good even though he wasn't in his favoured position. Hardly a world-conquering performance, but encouraging signs of what's to come.
Micah Richards for MoM, for me.

It was alright Neko, expected more but it was only a friendly. Rated Richards before the game and rate him even more now, he looks confident and unfazed playing for England and hopefully soon he will be a regular! Shame the goal went in but I knew one would come from somewhere when they chucked Huntelaar and Vennegoor of Hesselink on

We had 4 up front at the end!! ;D
