It'd certainly be interesting to see a Young/Agbonlahor partnership up front internationally, although with the boy wonder almost ready to come back I can't see them being given a chance long term.

We can't have that.According to the font of all football knowledge EE,Young is having a 'good few weeks' in a Villa side that is having a lucky season so he and the other Villa players can't be good enough for England.

what is the rule on choosing your international team

Is it once you have played for Under 21's you cant change teams or is it once u have played for the first team u cant change

It USED to be once you had played in a FIFA regulated match (the World Cup) then you can't change to anybody else.

If you have only played in a UEFA regulated match (EURO'S) then you can move to a Country in another organisation (CONCACAF for example) but cannot play for anyone else under UEFA.

Owen Hargreaves for example could have played for Canada and then moved to England had he only played in a Friendly or The Gold Cup. Had he played for Germany he would have been unable to play for England.

i dont see the bench what stricking options do we have on the bench for the second half.

3 and a half minutes gone and the Ole's are there already.

Spain knocking the ball across the field very well.

Torres giving it away a few times early on. Can't believe Silva is on the bench, he's such a good player. Has Mata been called up?

I agree. It's an indication that Capello may be capable of something that the past god knows how many England managers weren't: making decision based upon what is best for the TEAM. Too long have we shoe-horned the 'best' 11 players into the team instead 11 players who compliment each other and play together.
