I have no idea how they got to that decision. Was around my mates flat with 5 others and we just looked at each other in disbelief. They made it he had such an impressive game. Tbf he didnt play badly but certainly not MOTM.

I think Cole (j obviously) or Rooney were the only two showing any signs of passion and drive. Yes Rooney wasted a lot of chances with poor control but he did a lot of good work and didnt stop trying.

Rooney did a lot of running, tackled well, but ultimately didn't deliver goals.

Bentley and Joe Cole were our best players IMO. Good to see England finally have some decent width.

Bentley cannot be criticised for the way in which he played.

What did people think of the England fans singing for David Beckham and booing the performance at times during the game?

Pretty sad imo as this was just a friendly and Capello seemed to pick players HE wanted to see.

was pretty sad that, should have been rooney or j cole, how does it get decided?

I was surprised by the choice of man of the match too.

Rooney was immense! I think man of the match should have gone to either him or even Brown, although he did make one mistake and lost the ball but apart from that he put in a solid performance.

Brown was shocking first half! Mind his dad died on Wednesday so bit hard to judge the lad playing with that on his mind.

16vmarc

Bar the lousy pass where he gave the ball away he put in a decent performance.

we'll disagree.

Have you never noticed how everything you look at has a reddish tinge to it?

Why don't you come down from Planet Utd and try living on Planet Earth? Rooney did well. Brown, well he had a shocker.

there are better right backs than wes brown. (Micah richards)
steven gerrard didn't perform well enough to be awarded motm.
it was david bentley for me. for ability, application and drive.
uspon isn't england quality either. any centre half that can only kick with one foot should never be capped.
david james is the best goalie though. he may misjudge coming of his line on occasion but IMO he's more consistent than paul robinson. he's less likely to have a howler too, as they've already happened to him.
Steven Gerrard for me is the most dynamic midfielder in the p'ship. for ability influence and athleticism. he did not warrant motm though and thats coming from a lifelong red.

P1Fanatic

Coming from another utd fan I gotta disagree also. Not sure what game you were watching but his performance was anything but decent. Tbf he is much better in the centre of defence and never rated him at right back.

Suppose I do take extra notice of the players from the team I support.

However, I can say it made a big differance bringing on Wright-Philips, who last time I checked was a Chelsea player! Joe Cole had a good game too, he left the step overs at home for this game and he put in a good peformance, also setting up a goal. Hes also a Chelsea player I think

Bentley was poor by his standards though.
