Here's what I posted at the end of the match thread.

Watched the first half and suffered my first bout of "Anti English commentatoritis", 15 days before the bloody WC even starts. Trevor Francis, who I despise at the best of times, after England went 1 up starts prattling on about "The only surprise is its not more.....". Was he watching the same 1st half? Belarus, once they settled down, played some nice stuff, little triangles, and looked comfortable on the ball, certainly going forward. Not a huge threat up front but neither were England at that point so no idea where he got the should have been more comments from, apart from being a twat.

A bit surprised to see it finished 1-2 but they are no mugs, as Scotland found out to their costs, them actually supposedly being 5th best team in our WC qualifying group when the draw was made. Hopefully Trevor Francis was eating his words come 90 mins, the nasally Brummie twat (apologies to Swoops in advance!).

Did Walcott come on and play?

Have to say I though Lennon looked a wee bit out of his depth in the first half, small and speedy but didn't look like he the confidence to take his man on.

Still, only a B team friendly, only 2, possibly 3, of that starting 11 will be starters at the WC I would imagine.
