England vs Spain Match Preview
England will be hoping to handle Spain like they did 10 years ago. They host the defending world champions at the Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Fabio Capello chose to exclude Wayne Rooney from his England squad.
It was back in February 2001 that England last defeated the Spanish in a friendly. The Three Lions came out 3-0 winners, but subsequent encounters between the two countries proved to be all-Spanish affairs - with La Roja winning thrice in a row and conceding no goal.
Coach Fabio Capello, who lost 2-0 to Coach Del Bosque in 2009, is willing to alternate the situation with a favourable score line that will certainly better England’s position in the COCA COLA World Rankings. To ensure he is ready for battle, the England manager has called up some of the Premier League’s best players.
Last Sunday, the official FA website publicized Capello’s 25-man squad, which involved the likes of Liverpool’s Glen Johnson, Manchester City’s Joleon Lescott and the Chelsea defensive pair Ashley Cole and John Terry.
Gareth Barry, Adam Johnson, Frank Lampard, James Milner and Theo Walcott were also among the players that made the cut. The shock however came in the absence of Wayne Rooney, whom the Italian decided to ignore as he preferred to go for Gabby Agbonlahor, Darren Bent, Daniel Sturridge, Danny Welbeck and Bobby Zamora in front.
But Spain have prepared themselves to retain their winning streak. David Villa and seven other Barcelona players were called up earlier this week, including Carles Puyol, Gerard Pique, Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez and Cesc Fabregas.
Del Bosque also selected five Real Madrid players: Xabi Alonso, Arbeloa, Albiol, Sergio Ramos and Casillas. All combined, the Spaniards are not likely to make themselves controllable against England, especially not taking into account their form in recent weeks.
Contrariwise, the World Cup winners have won only four matches in their last eight friendlies - their last defeat being against Italy in August. England have been more consistent, but they were not able to come on top in their last friendly, as they had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Ghana in London.
All in all, the England vs Spain game will be delicate from all angles for both countries and coaches. For Capello, failure to impress will question his readiness for the UEFA Euro 2012 finals. For Del Bosque, anything less than a victory could affect his team’s momentum.
