England 3 Egypt 1: Soccer match report
England 3 Egypt 1
Read a full match report of the international friendly between England and Egypt at Wembley Stadium, London on Wednesday March 3, 2010.
The children of Rameses threatened to embarrass the inheritors of Ramsey’s tradition until Fabio Capello’s half-time talking-to shook England up. A better tempo and the arrival of Peter Crouch, a proper target-man to work alongside Wayne Rooney, transformed this friendly.
After four weeks of negatives, Capello finally had a few positives to savour. John Terry looked more like his old self, Rooney and Steven Gerrard were typically purposeful while Capello’s second-half subs proved inspired.
