Sky announced the team I posted as the team that will play tomorrow.

Like Poyet said after the Holland game - yes give the youngsters a go, but you do not want to lose the game.

Smalling? Milner? Ffs

Totally agree.
Smalling is neither a good centre back or right back.

Milner is reliable, a great engine, never lets England down. But he is ideal when playing against a great full back and a great winger, to give his full back protection. BUT tomorrow is about building for the future, we are not up against a world class outfit and the result is not paramount. Milner is not required. Someone who would be far more creative and younger will be necessarily left out.

I hope not.

Good to see a few youngsters in the team, it will give them valuable experience playing Cost Rica at a young age. It will give them a chance to experience bitter defeat and a chance to trot out lame excuses and niceties at the post match press conference, both valuable skills for the modern English footballer.
