Sven-Goran Eriksson has opted to wait until the outcome of the World Cup draw before deciding on England's opponents for their three warm-up games. The England coach will discover the make-up of his side's group on 9 December in Leipzig, Germany. "What makes the most sense is to wait to see who we are drawn with," Eriksson told the Football Association website. "That way we can pick the teams to play who will be most useful in terms of building towards the finals." Meanwhile, South Africa, who failed to qualify for the World Cup, are confident of playing England before next summer's finals.
