Capello promises further experiments
England coach Fabio Capello has promised to experiment with his team and tactics until the World Cup qualifiers begin.
Capello started the friendly against France with Wayne Rooney playing as a solo striker then he made four substitutions at half-time, bringing on Peter Crouch and Michael Owen as a forward partnership.
England are expected to play the United States and the Czech Republic before their first World Cup qualifier against Andorra.
Capello said: "My interest is trying things with the team in order to be ready for the qualifying campaign.
"The four subs at half-time were made because I wanted to see other players play against a good team like France.
"And because we have players who play many games and they have to play in the Champions League as well."
