Platinum Stars ready to face England

Platinum Stars players have promised to give a good account of themselves when they face England in a warm up match in Rusternburg today.
Dinaledi are set to meet England behind closed doors at Moruleng Stadium at 16h00.
England coach Fabio Capello has already said that he will not risk his players to injury after skipper Rio Ferdinand was ruled out of the World Cup after he picked up a knee injury at training.
Speaking to KickOff.com, Stars goalkeeper Tapuwa Kapini promised to give the Three Lions a true taste of South African football this afternoon.
"Games like this come once in a life time and everyone is very excited about this afternoon. Our preparations have gone well and it is safe to say that we are now ready to face England.
"We have watched most of their games on TV and we know what kind of football they play. We will go out there and play football according to our strength.
"They have got some great players, like (Wayne) Rooney but I fear nobody and I am ready to make sure that no England player scores a goal past me."
Dineladi are expected assign Bradley Grobler and Alton Meiring to trouble the England defence which is likely to be manned by Chelsea defender John Terry.
