I don't think the star English players would commit to this friendly considering the English Premier League would have been completed two weeks prior.  I see England bringing a second string side.

Does England usually do that? Play a 2nd string squad.. Do you know if it's been done in the past... I assume they too are warming up go WC games? You could be right though..but an England 2nd, 3rd.. squad is good sweat!

Looks like it may very well be a second string squad as they flying to the states on the 24th. That is de day before Champions League final and Chelsea and Liverpool may yet be in de finals.

Also check Eriksson quote from soccernet:

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/headlinenews?id=327464&cc=3888


Eriksson said: 'I am very happy that our plans have been finalised.

'It is a very good opportunity for me to be with the players for a week and to take a closer look at some of the newer members of the squad in a different environment, both on and off the pitch.

I would be surprised if England travels with a 2nd string team. Most likely they will travel with a full squad (barring injuries and commitments) and let the senior members play limited minutes.

Either way I will try to be there once the price not too ridiculous.
