BBC Sport - International friendly: England 1-0 Spain

Ah, good old humble pie - looks like I'm eating tonight!

I take back back what I said about Lamps - he played a very good game tonight. Scott Parker, Joleon Lescott and Ashley Cole were the best performers I reckon. Wellbeck and Rodwell looked really good when they came on too. Just a shame Capello insisted in handing Walcott a start - when's he gonna learn that all the kid can do is run?

Sure, it was only a friendly, and I stand by saying we probably won't get past the group stage of Euro 2012. It's nice to have something to smile about as England fan again though.

FC Barcelona plays in La Liga - the Spanish equivalent of the Premier League. Man U and Chelsea are in the English Premiership, aka Barclay's Premier League.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Btw, where online do you guys get to see both leagues play for free? It used to be on ESPN, but i don't see it anymore. Thanks again.
