Sunday, 25 June
Kick-off: 1600 BST
vs
Venue: Stuttgart - Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion
Referee: Frank De Bleeckere (Belgium)
England (probable): Robinson; Hargreaves, Ferdinand, Terry, A Cole; Beckham, Gerrard, Carrick, Lampard, J Cole; Rooney.
Ecuador (probable): Mora; De la Cruz, Hurtado, Espinoza, Reasco; Mendez, Castillo, Valencia, Edwin Tenorio; Delgado, Carlos Tenorio.
Rumoured England line up
--------------Robinson-------------
Hargreaves--Ferdinand--Terry--A. Cole
--------------Carrick----------------
Beckham--Gerrard--Lampard--J. Cole
--------------Rooney----------------
Sven opting to go with the 4-5-1. Carragher looked uncomfortable at right back against Sweden so hopefully Hargreaves can do a job there with his versatility. Carrick starts his first game in the hold with Rooney as the lone striker. The jury will be out on that, Rooney in my opinion is better playing off another striker and dropping deep into the mid-field to get on the ball.
