Steve McClaren has named his first England team 24 hours before the kick-off. Only half the tickets have been sold for the friendly against Moldova at Old Trafford. Let's hope England play well to drum up some interest after the World Cup finals.
England Defense
The defense is no surprise. Robinson in goal. It is the same back 4 as Sven's.
England Midfield
The midfield has Steven Gerrard at right midfield. Hargreaves and Lampard play centre, Downing on the left wing, as Joe Cole is injured.
England Attack
Up front Crouch and Defoe line up. Rooney is injured and new England call up Dean Ashton broke his ankle in training.
England Blog Comment
The only real difference is Beckham is dropped. Maybe I have that wrong. Either way - Come On England!

I could have gotten a ticket for this game, but what's the point? I would have only wanted to see Rooney.
The FA are a bunch of idiots, who couldn't make a competent decision if their lives depended on it. Wazzacks.
