Joe Cole secured a last minute draw with the Czech Republic at Wembley as John Terry's began his reign as captain under Capello.
England were poor for large parts of the match and were lucky to hold the Czechs. Frank Lampard was a particular target for the frustrated Wembley crowd and was jeered when leaving the pitch on 79 minutes.

Trinidad and Tobago 0-3 England
Posted by Admin on 02/06/2008
England secured an easy 3-0 win over minnows Trinidad and Tobago with goals from Gareth Barry and a brace from Jermain Defoe.
The low key match was played by many of England's fringe players as the Chelsea and Man Utd players (except for Ferdinand) stayed at home after their champions league exploits.
Barry, Defoe, Downing and Bentley will feel that they have staked a claim for a first team place after good performances, while Stephen Warnock, Phil Jagielka and Joe Hart all made their debuts.
