England 2 Hungary 1 pictures

Hungary take the lead with a "goal" which did not cross the line, another instance to debate goal line technology after the last game v Germany. Both of which England have been on the wrong side of, so if these things even themselves out.......

Match recovered by 2 great goals from Captain Gerrard.

England 3 Egypt 1

There seemed to be a lot of hype before the match surrounding how good Egypt were and how much of a test this friendly would be for the England team ahead of the World Cup finals. It seemed justified hype when Egypt took the lead. If England are to be real contenders to win the World Cup a home game versus Egypt should not be viewed as a problematic fixture! The 3 second half goals (Crouch 2, Wright-Phillips 1) ensured it wasn't. Here are some pictures of the match which gives us the first fixture in the new away kit.











This last picture is not too complementary to the 2 scorers!
