Sven has the Italian/ Swedish attitude to friendlies, they are warm up games and the result is unimportant, the English find this hard to comprehend. However, for the visit of Hungary to Old Trafford today he seems likely to start with his best (fit) eleven.
Looks like Owen will play alone up front, with maybe Gerrard as support. Cole and Lampard should be able to get forward, almost at will, against weak opponents, their star player, Zoltan Gera will be plying his trade in the Championship next season, unless his agent gets busy.
England should win comfortably, if not, the tabloids will be busy tomorrow.
Chile will be weakened following the expulsion of Navia and superstar, Gonzales, from the squad.
Infact, few of the team that impressed against the Irish are likely to play. More than half of the Ivory Coast squad play their club football in France, so will feel at home in Lorraine.
I really like the African team and will put my World Cup preview of them online shortly .
3 points Ivory Coast -1/4 1.92 asian line
3 points England -1.5 goals 2.04 asian line
1 point Joe Cole to score anytime 3.50 willliam hill
Good Luck.
