WEMBLEY, LONDONโ€”England meet Chile at 8 p.m. GMT on Friday in an international friendly that will truly test their FIFA World Cup mettle.

Brazil represents a colossal mountain for Roy Hodgson's beleaguered troops, and taking on one of South America's finest serves up the perfect chance to prove they can pull their weight.

Jorge Sampaoli's side will rock up in a curious 3-4-3 formation, the likes of which many Premier League players won't have seen.

La Roja play with no true striker, pacey wide forwards and industrious wing-backs. How will Hodgson's XI cope with such a different threat?

First Half Notes

Fraser Forsterโ€”Unlucky on the goal, spread himself well for Jean Beausejour's one vs. one.

Glen Johnsonโ€”Positionally suspect, losing the war against Beausejour.

Gary Cahillโ€”Blocked a crucial shot early on, but was constantly caught out on quicker counters.

Phil Jonesโ€”Jones stormed forward in possession well, but wasย susceptibleย to quick counters.

Leighton Bainesโ€”A non-factor going forward, beaten for the opening goal.

Frank Lampardโ€”Not quite the regista Steven Gerrard is, Chile's pressing forced him to go long often.

Jack Wilshereโ€”Some nice runs forward, but ultimately ineffectual against a packed Chile midfield.

James Milnerโ€”Provided little more than running.

Jay Rodriguezโ€”Some bright moments, but the fact that he's not on the same page as many teammates is clear.

Wayne Rooneyโ€”Good movement, good use of the ball, but nothing has come off just yet.

Adam Lallanaโ€”A bright start was curtailed as England lost their rhythm.

Second Half Notes

Forsterโ€”Palmed a low cross straight into the danger zone. Hardly covered himself in glory.

Johnsonโ€”Once Beausejour had won the territory battle Johnson became a non-factor.

Cahillโ€”A second rather anonymous half, but aerially he was better.

Jonesโ€”Not his finest evening, but perhaps his rustiness at centre-back is an excuse.

Bainesโ€”Got forward rather better than he did in the first half.

Lampardโ€”A slow night's work came to a close early on. Not his best

Wilshereโ€”A good performance for the Arsenal man was cut short by Arsene Wenger's exploding eye-balls.

Milnerโ€”His second half ended quickly after failing to improve upon the first.

Rodriguezโ€”Subbed in the 57th minute after failing to make any further impact.

Rooneyโ€”Excellent surging down the right side early in the second half. Livewire.

Lallanaโ€”A strong night's work. Tracked back, made himself available and took a few shots.

Andros Townsend and Ross Barkleyโ€”Two subs who really got the crowd on their feet and Chile running backward.
