England homecoming friendly on ITV
July 30, 2010 · 0 Comments
How’s your blood pressure ? Why you might ask, but the English football team are soon to take the field for the first time after their disappointing display at the World Cup.
England take on Hungary in an international friendly at Wembley on Wednesday, August 11. Worried about lacklustre sales, the FA have slashed 33% of the ticket price, so in the event that you’re not at the stadium, this is a match that you can see exclusively live at 19:30 on ITV1HD. If you are going to the ground, do remember to leave the vuvuzela at home.
Fabio Capello may have weathered the storm for now and remains in charge, but many England fans will be hoping that this game heralds a new era for their national side.
The next major tournament is the European Championships in Poland in 2012, and England’s first qualifying match against Bulgaria is in just three weeks time. So, no pressure.
Adrian Chiles will be back on duty along with regulars in the studio Andy Townsend and Gareth Southgate, commentary comes from Clive Tyldesley with pitchside reports from Gabriel Clarke.
