In short
The national football team of England will play a friendly match against the Netherlands in Amsterdam on the 12th of August. It will be England’s first match of their 2009-2010 campaign for the World Cup held in South-Africa in 2010. At the moment both England and the Netherlands are both top of their qualification groups for the World Cup finals. In the agreement on the friendly match is arranged that the Netherlands will also play a friendly at the Wembley stadium August 2011. With this fixture, England’s calendar for next year is almost full, except for one date, England is expected to compete with Spain on that occasion.
What does René think about this
Both England and the Netherlands have an impressive tradition in football. At the moment both countries are performing very well, so it will be an interesting match to see which of the two has got the best cards for the World Cup 2010. I predict the match to be very close, since Italian coach Capello is managing the English team they have done very well, and are playing better football. On the other hand the Netherlands are performing very well last years and they can beat every nation in the world if their top-players are on top of their game.
