Tags: Theo Walcott, Arsenal, England, Fabio Capello, Friendly
Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has stated that he wants to score more goals for his national side and prove that he deserves a place in England's team.

England vs France Preview

England and France will go head to head in a high profile international friendly at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday night.
The game is a chance for both countries to continue their rehabilitation after disappointing World Cup campaigns that failed miserably to live up to expectations.

England will be using this fixture as a chance to experiment with players and give some fresh faces a chance to prove themselves on the international scene against quality opposition. Capello this week confirmed that controversial Newcastle United forward Andy Carroll and Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson will make their international debuts in this game. Young Arsenal left-back Kieron Gibbs will also be handed a start in the absence of Ashley Cole.

England vs Montenegro Report

Montenegro help onto top spot in Group G with a hard fought 0-0 draw at Wembley Stadium. Star striker Mirko Vucinic was ruled out with injury before the game, but Montenegro produced a solid defensive display to leave England with a point.
England had the majority of possession in the first half, but failed to find a cutting edge. Ashley Young and Adam Johnson on the wings were England’s primary form of attack, but the Montenegro backline held firm to go in at the break tied at 0-0.

The second half followed a similar pattern. Despite gaining a lot of possession, England could never truly get to grips with the 5 man Montenegro midfield and were limited to a handful of chances. One chance came when a clever through ball by Steven Gerrard produced Wayne Rooney with a good scoring chance, but his shot was well saved by Miladen Bozovic.
