Good win for England the other day. It was only a friendly but as Brazil have no competitive games in the run up to the WC they're having to take games like this far more seriously than might've been the case otherwise. Wiltshire looked great and seemed to work really well with Gerrard. The only question mark there is how long Gerrard has left for England.
Brazil were disappointing. Ronaldinho doesn't look like he's interested anymore and I've still yet to see any real indication (besides youtube clips) of how good Neymar really is - although to be fair to him, he's supposedly played out of position with Brazil. Either way, he still seems a long way from justifying the 'better than Messi' claims made by Pele.
And Real supposedly preparing a bid for Gareth Bale.
