First thing that's made really clear by this is we lack firepower, we have 4 and the French have 4 strikers, with only Rooney having a good season, but he struggles to score, while France have 6 top strikers (Ben Arfa, Malouda, Govou & Ribery are more wingers I think...). So it's going to be interesting to see what Capello does up front, especially since Owen didn't play at all last time around.

Terry is expected to be captain again...

I hope Bentley gets game time, and Johnson probably deserves some too.
