With no more than 99 days remaining until the opening match of the 2010 World Cup 28 of the qualified nations will be in action on Tuesday and Wednesday. The first major game of the week will be played in London at the Emirates Stadium where Brazil will be looking to entertain the crowd. Do Ireland have what it takes to stop the samba?
England needed two late own goals from Japan defenders Marcus Tanaka and Yuji Nakazawa to gain victory in their final World Cup warm-up match in Graz. England scraped to victory. If they had outplayed Japan and benefited from two own-goals, it would be a different story.
England will play badly, they'd be lucky to get a draw.
England will have to meet the fans at Wembley for the first time after the disastrous World Cup campaign. What do you think they'll be able to achieve against Hungary?
Bobby Zamora will finally get a chance to prove himself for England in tonight's friendly game against Hungary. The 29 year old striker says that "now an opportunity's come along I want to grab it with both hands." Will he succeed?
Definitely, the crowd should boo ceaselessly for 90 minutes.
No, the crowd should give them a break.
Before tonight's friendly game against Hungary Fabio Capello says that he is prepared to take the boos and jeers at Wembley: "The first XI will be players who were at the World Cup. This is sure because, like me, they have to take the booing. I expect boos. Why not? We win together, we lose together. Always, I respect the crowd but I am the boss. They have to boo me like the players." Do you think they deserve to be booed?
England will meet France in a great international friendly on Wednesday but Fabio Capello will be missing both John Terry and Ashley Cole. Newcastle's Andy Carroll is also struggling with an injury so his presence is doubtful.
