Brazil v England (Kick-off 8.00pm). Coverage of the friendly encounter at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro, as Roy Hodgson's men face Brazil for the second time in five months. The previous encounter took place at Wembley Stadium in February as part of the Football Association's 150th anniversary celebrations, and saw England claim their first victory over the South Americans in 23 years. A Wayne Rooney goal gave the home side a 1-0 lead at half-time, which was subsequently cancelled out when Fred punished a defensive error just three minutes into the second period. However, Frank Lampard continued his goalscoring exploits after coming on from the substitutes' bench, netting from the edge of the box on the hour mark to restore the lead that they never relinquished. See who wants it most.
Carrick and Lampard midfield with Milner and Jones on the wing. No real pace. I see us getting ripped apart.
You mean we didn't beat New Zealand again, why are we so **** @ cricket, I sense a 5-0 win to the Aussie's for the Ashes.
Truly Fabulous thanks Minxy. I'm on with the washing now (in between 606 and footy). Who said Men couldn't multi task?
NZ are dark horses for Champions Trophy. No shame losing one dayers to them. I might have a little dabble on them (10/1), Sri Lanka or the Windies (both 8/1). All have excellent history of doing well in this format, particularly in the tournament situation. SA are 7/2 but were beaten by New Zealand at home. England next at 4/1. Doesn't make sense if you look at one day results and history of tournament performances. Canny performance 2nd half against what has to be said is not the best Brazilian side. Still think these end of season games are a farce.
