Seaman Cole and Campbell all look set to start again. Seaman and Cole did little to make their replacements look better. H will be disappointed to have let the goal through but he was unsighted by Rio Ferdinand.

Campbell didn't have the best of games defensively, and perhaps might have been for the chop if he hadn't scored the goal. Another factor could be the fact that he played against them last time (and scored that disallowed "winner") - the squad who were taunted by the oppositino players following that defeat are going to be particularly "up for" this one.

Personally I'd have thought the experience of Southgate or (preferably) Keown in defence would have been worth the slight loss of pace. But the rumours form the camp are that Darius Vassell is to be the only casualty (with Nicky Butt coming in to fill the vital role of "the one the Argentinians try to get sent off"). Big shame for Vassell who was probably the brightest hope against Sweden. It pains me to say it but as an Englishman I hope Sheringham gets on against Argentina.

Now, what's really interested me is Dave Seaman's revelation that England are practicing penalties for a change. What puzzles me is whether this is a good use of the time at a stage when getting through to the knock-out strages is still very muchin the balance. Perhaps it's an exercise in confidence-building!
