I'm struggling to decide: if Gerrard plays, he's still carrying an injury, and he's gonna be marked the Paraguay's ruthless Roberto Acuna (so unpopular that he doesn't even talk to his own team-mates on a regular basis). Do I make him captain?
Expect free kicks and crosses a-plenty:
This match brings together two teams renowned on their own continents for the strength of their aerial game. England boast a real threat through David Beckham’s set-pieces and centre-back John Terry and, if selected, the towering Crouch are men the South Americans should keep a particularly close eye on. At the other end, England’s defence must be equally vigilant with strikers Santa Cruz and Valdez both a danger.
