England and Denmark are playing an international friendly on Wednesday and the match is coming before the World Cup and is streaming online from Wembley Stadium at 3 pm ET and gives Roy Hodgson's side a chance to work some things out ahead of Brazil and they still have three more friendly matches coming up before the tournament.
England has some major decisions to make as the next stretch of games come, as this is the last international friendly before the final World Cup rosters are selected, meaning Hodgson will have to look at more than just friendly competitions for who he should select. Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard have been the leading scorers for England in this stage and Danny Welbeck and Rickie Lambert have also connected, while Theo Walcott will be out for the World Cup and that makes this important as well for someone to step up in his void.
Hodgson said that all players would get evaluated at their levels and despite some decreases in playing time for Danny Welbeck, Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard, he said the players should be prepared for the tournament. Jay Rodriguez, Rickie Lambert and Luke Shaw all will have their chances to make the team and with Kyle Walker out, Glen Johnson will be in and that gives the team another option in that spot. England is in Group D along with Uruguay, Italy and Costa Rica and the first game for England will be against the Italians on the first Saturday and comes from the jungle in Arena Amazonia
The second match for England in the group stage is against Uruguay at Arena Corinthians and that will be on Thursday, while their last match is against Costa Rica and that will be at Estadio Mineirão and while Denmark is not in the World Cup, the team plans on taking the international friendly seriously. England has a match with Denmark and then they play against Peru after the deadline and the final two matchups come against Ecuador and Honduras and those will be international friendly matches in June at Sun Life Stadium. England lost in their last two friendly matches with Chile and Germany and were outscored three to zero and now they will be looking to get back on track.
The United States is in the toughest group in the World Cup with Ghana, Germany and Portugal and they are playing against Ukraine on the friendly schedule on Wednesday and that match was moved to Cyprus with all the unrest in that nation. Champion Spain is playing against Italy and the United States is looking to come into the World Cup strong, as they are in a tough group and will have to earn points against Ghana to do it and that means either Portugal or Ghana will be out and that could be tough for the US to pull off.
