England V Platinum Stars

[dingobruce]

Anybody know what time this kicks off and if there's any coverage anywhere? Had a quick look and couldn't find anything...

 

[Springal]

Its a training ground match I think and you can be sure Capello won't want any cameras near it

 

[clippedgull]

Sorry no details in my morning paper. All it says is that Capello can stop the game as often as he wants to for team talks and tactical changes!

Would like to know who 'Platinum Stars' are... Surely not anyone playing in the WC.

Local team in Rustenburg

Ah. Ty.

 

[The Albion Roar]

With a terrible disciplinary record apparently

 

[dingobruce]

Hmnnn...

England fans nervous about losing any more key players to injury following Rio Ferdiand's enforced withdrawal will not be pleased to hear that Monday's warm-up opposition Platinum Stars do not plan on treating the game like a low-key friendly. "Our guys want to make their mark on England," said a club source.

Fabio said his starting 11 will be given a half or 60 minutes

Do you think we'll hear who the starting 11 will be today, or do you reckon it's gonna be kept TOP SECRET!?

"Around 12,000 locals are expected to converge on the Moruleng Stadium for the match, while BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty will be in situ and bringing news of the latest action via his Twitter feed."

Ohhhhh WICK'ED!

Best start working a bit harder now then.

 

[nwgull]

I know that there should be no more chance of an English injury in this game than in any of the competitive world cup games, but it just feels like a disaster waiting to happen.

 

[sam86]

Yep. Especially as Ledley King is apparently playing.

Please Ledley, go easy. Please.

 

[The Wizard]

Rooney to break his leg?

 

[jordanseagull]

only see the second half but still a result!
