JENAS: ENGLAND LEARNED A LOT IN BRAZIL DEFEAT
ComeOnSpurs.com, 17 Nov 2009
Despite England's limp defeat, Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas is taking many positives away from the match against Brazil.
Jenas featured for the first time for his country in over a year, playing the entire match. His performance was far from convincing but he feels a lot can be learnt from the game.
Having been tasked with trying to keep Kaka under control for most of the match, he believes Fabio Capello's men will have learned a lesson ahead of next summer's World Cup in South Africa.

"It was an invaluable experience," said JJ on the Spurs official website. "When you play against one of the best teams in the world, you learn so much.
"We were a group of players who are not regulars at this level and we were asked to come in and do a certain job and, apart from the goal, I don't think we put in a bad performance.
"Every player in their team was so comfortable on the ball, which made it tough to gain possession and do what we wanted to do.
"But we've learnt from it and if we come up against them in the World Cup finals, we'll have this to take into that game."
