  • England will also face their Euro 2008 boogie team Croatia 4 days later.



    FA director of football development Sir Trevor Brooking said: ""We are reasonably pleased with how it worked out."



    "He (Capello) wanted Croatia twice in September - he was really relaxed about whether we were home or away," said Brooking.



    "It has worked out quite nicely that we have a free Saturday before the home game. He also wanted to start with Andorra."



    Brooking also added that he hoped to secure an evening kick off with Kazakhstan on 6 June clash due to the sweltering heat encountered over there in summer.



    "We have to make sure we get an evening kick-off for the Kazakhstan game but if you are going to have to play two matches in June, they are the ones you would have chosen."
