Reading defender, Nicky Shorey made his England debut and the OS states became the first Reading player to play for England in 100 years.
I missed the game as I was in Scotland and for some reason I can’t imagine, they didn’t want to show an England friendly. Talking to my friend tonight, it appears that he had a solid game, doing the simple defending well. However, Brazil played quite narrow and he didn’t have someone directly against him.
He made some forward runs but the couple of times he overlapped Joe Cole, he wasn’t passed to. We had a short discussion on whether this was because Cole didn’t want to pass to Shorey or Cole just didn’t want to pass to anyone.
As we’ve sung all season. Shorey for England! What a week for the guy. He got married the next day and then had to cancel the honeymoon to travel to Estonia with all the lads.
