Stuart Pearce names Scott Parker as the new England captain.... for tonight at least. There has been a big fuss over who's going to get it, but who says the new manager (assuming it's not Pearce) will keep the same person anyway?
I think Parker is a decent choice, although I would've preferred Gerrard.
The team for tonight is pretty different/inexperienced. Interesting to see how they do. It doesn't look a great side, but it does look balanced and it's good to give them experience.
Hart
Richards, Cahill, Smalling, Baines
A. Johnson, Barry, Parker, Gerrard, Young
Welbeck
Personally, I think Sturridge should've started. He's had a really good season and I think deserves the chance more than Welbeck. Although glad to see Welbeck involved too.
I would've gone for Walcott over Johnson too.
