ENGLAND BEAT MEXICO 3-1 BUT IT IS ONLY A FRIENDLY

I hate friendly sport fixtures.Sport is meant to be competitive.England's 3-1 win over Mexico at Wembley was,I accept,a necessary event as part of England's build-up for the World Cup.There is another on Sunday lunch-time from Graz again Japan...live on ITV.Fabio Capello says he and the players learnt a lot from last night's game but he would,wouldn't he.Surely he knows his best team and just about all the 23 final squad.Ok he has to take,fitness and injury apart,seven names out of the current 30.But he must know 5 or 6 right now.He has seen enough matches this season...Alright in a few minutes Adam Johnson showed his class.Surely Capello will be brave enough to include him.Johnson could unpick a defence late in a game as substitute when all else has failed.Leighton Baines and Michael Carrick looked very ordinary to be kind last night but will Capello be basing his selection on last night's game? I doubt it.Would you write off England because of last night's showing? NO.I love England but will some-one convince me why England will win the World Cup.Ever since 1966 the nation is full of hope and experts keep saying its the best England squad to leave this shores since then.Of course it is not.Peter Shilton and Ray Clemence in goal is just one reason.There are better squads from Spain,Brazil and Argentina going to South Africa--three more reasons why England will not win the trophy.
