England to face Brazil at Wembley

12.02.00am BST (GMT +0100) Thu 12th Apr 2007

England will play Brazil in their first match at the new Wembley on 1 June, the Football Association announced yesterday.

The match will be England's first at Wembley for seven years and will be a warm up for the side ahead of the Euro 2008 qualifier in Estonia five days later. I hope the result in this match will be better then England's last match at Wembley when they lost 1-0 to Germany in October 2000.

Unfortunately the FA also announced that, from next year, both semi-finals and the final of the FA Cup will be held at the new stadium which I think is a massive disappointment for places like Birmingham which in the past have hosted FA Cup semi-final games at Villa Park.
