R.Hodgson: we want to score at least a few goals against San Marino © EuroFootball.com

The English national team is preparing for the World Cup qualifying match against the weakest national team on the planet, San Marino.

In a match against the team ranked 207th in the FIFA rankings, the hosts will be supported by 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium - all tickets are already sold out.

Wayne Rooney has been appointed captain of the English national team, and due to disqualification, defender Steven Gerrard will not be able to play. Another veteran, Frank Lampard, is recovering from an injury.
