"fishball" -- "With no plans to overhaul" --- if that is the case... well... somebody has to look elsewhere for the solution for the real problem.

Definitely ENGLAND!!!
From every latent foe,
From the assassins blow,
God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend,
For Britain's sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!

Well, after all those world cup excitement, who really cares about a friendly match ?
But its difficult to say anyway, friendly generaly does not reflect the actual strenght of the opponents.
Right after having played the worldcup, the english team might not be very motivated for a friendly display, whereas greece might want to prove they diserved to be their.
At the same time, England will be playing home.
Therefore , all in all, I would bet for a boring 1-1 draw.
:) Sorry Luke, but I'm afraid that the current English team has neither good form, nor class !!!

Friendlies are deceiving and do not reflect the potential as proven in the build-ups to the World Cup. I cannot foresee anything new in England - the man in charge has little to do with the team's success because all of English football infrastructure, systems, methods, training... are as old as Old Trafford itself. With no plans to overhaul, it matters very little whether they beat Greece, or lose to Germany. We just have to cross our tired fingers... again... and again... for poor old England.

New Coach, Bad World Cup. England will have something to prove. Here's hoping Steve McLaren gets them motivated to win, and win well. It's tiring watching England scrape through matches.
England have the great players to make them a great team! Get rid of lampard though!

I think England'll win it. I hope they lose though and then lose the first two EC qualifiers. I'm an England fan but we need McClaren out. His likely new assistant, Terry Venables, would do quite nicely as the new boss.

england will win, because they gotbetter squad and everyone want to see mclaren debut so there will be many people watch it.
even greece won the european title it just because they were at very good form. remember, they even not qualify for the 2006 world cup. remember what people say "form is temporary but class is permanent."

I think England will win 2-0, with Gerrard and J.Cole getting the goals.
