England vs Egypt
By Joe, www.bettingexpert.com | Published (Edited )
England will host the Egypt team on Wednesday evening for a friendly game at the Wembley Stadium this coming international midweek. This is one of the friendly games that England will be involved in before they take on the massive favourite title to South Africa for the World Cup 2010. Egypt will provide a stern opponent for England as they are the newly crowned African Nation Cup winners.
England are currently 9th in the world under the helm of the Italian Fabio Capello and they have never looked back ever since. They are preparing for the World Cup with a few new names to the squad. Capello took on Leighton Baines and Stephen Warnock after the news of Wayne Bridge deciding to omit himself from the England team due to a inconvicence work relationship with John Terry. Ashley Cole is currently out with a broken ankle leaving new blood to take the left defensive side for England. A surprise call up for Stoke’s Ryan Shawcross has also been named after the breaking Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey leg. Upfront, England will have Carlon Cole available and Theo Walcott.
Egypt missed the World Cup by losing to Algeria in a playoff final in the African Zone. This did not deter them from winning the Africans Nations Cup back in January with a 1-0 win over Ghana in the final. They have been consistently one of the best teams in Africa and England will be lucky not to see them in the World Cup stage. Egypt are ranked 10th in the world and will certainly give all they got against England to show what the World Cup is missing. The Egyptian will see the only Premiership player, Zaki and goalscorer Zidan available for the encounter. Mido
As this is a friendly, England tends to switch a few players and test a few along the way. A cautious draw will be surely the best option as Eygpt are a formidable oppoentn who are looking to impress in an international plan. Since the drop of John Terry of the captain armband, Rio Ferdinard is the nominated captain but he is injuried so Steven Gerrard will carry out the proceedings.
