Ashton to start for England! I'm kind of glad Becks is dropped, people like Lennon, SWP and Downing who haven't played much will actually run at players and create danger for defences, as opposed to Beckham, who produces about 2 crosses a game and that's it. Plus he never runs foward with the ball, he just hoofs it foward everytime.

Yes! I am glad Walcott isn't in, he has done absolutely nothing to warrant an place in the England squad.

Well it's a new team and it will be our new coach debut (Dunga).

Plus these were the three encounters between them in history:

Norway (NOR) 1:1 (0:0) Brazil (BRA) Friendly 1988 OSLO NORWAY - 28.07.1988

Norway (NOR) 4:2 (3:1) Brazil (BRA) Friendly 1997 OSLO NORWAY - 30.05.1997

Brazil (BRA) 1:2 (0:0) Norway (NOR) 1998 FIFA World Cup France (TM) MARSEILLES FRANCE - 23.06.1998

So yes, I think they will need luck.

Yeah, I heard about Dunga making a new team of all youngsters and yes I suppose you can never tell what will happen in just a friendly, but even so, I can't see Brazil losing to Norway.
