Defenders: Phil Neville (Everton), Joleon Lescott (Everton), Michael Dawson (Tottenham), Ledley King (Tottenham), Gareth Barry (Aston Villa), Nicky Shorey (Reading)

Hope Lennon doesnt play too much of the game, he needs some rest.

Good to see King get the call up, needs every game he can get.

Looks a pretty strong squad there, some I dont think are good enough to break into the first team though.

Jagielka and Shorey will never be 1st team players. i dont even think Nugent is good enough.

I think it's an insult to put king in a ¨b¨ international (although a cap is a cap) he's clearly better than ferdinand.

Nice to see our players there

i hope Leds and Dawson both start

and why the hell is A.smith in it he has done F'all

I think that they should start with daws and king at the back, they were a formidable partership last season and would have been this season if ledly was fit. Looks like there ar

? over Paul robinson.

They do them 4 squad players 2 get international experience and give them a choice 2 get an england call up... I like them coz it gives our players some international experience and gives them a cap. Also by this time the seasons finishdand i hope all our players play. Lennon needs 2 play 2 get his confidence up as he won't be as heavily marked

Also no football is on then so it'll be good 2 see an england game with plenty of spurs players playing...

Nice one Nugent is calle up by McClaren. I like the guy.

It is a good chance for the England boss to see some fringe players or coming back from injury. Very worthwhile.

Anyway great to see so many Spurs players but I hope Lennon, Robbo don't play.

Why not Robbo/Lennon?

Robbo, the more gamz he gets the better... As he's a keeper and doesn't get fatigued just gains caps and experience.

Lennon, it would be a good game 2 get his confidence back, but ia gree he does need a rest. I say bring back Routledge 2 give him some rests + routledge aint bad either...

Robbo doesn't need to play, he is the No.1 but he needs a rest before the Brazil game.

I didn't get 2 watch the game... How did the spurs players do: JD,JJ, Daws + Ledley play out of 10? Lennon was injured so you can't really rate him...
