ROONEY AND MEMPHIS CLASHES AS ENGLAND FACE HOLLAND

England set up Netherlands friendly
Team mates Wayne Rooney and forward Memphis Depay all of Manchester United will come against one another when The Three Lions face The Dutch National teams In an international friendly match.
The Three Lions will take on Danny Blind's side - who recently failed to qualify for Euro 2016 - in a pre-tournament warm-up match in March
England will meet Netherlands in March as part of their Euro 2016 build-up, the Football Association announced on Friday.

Roy Hodgson's side secured a place at next summer's finals by winning all 10 of their qualifiers in Group E and will use the meeting with Danny Blind's men as part of their preparations for the finals in France.

In stark contrast, Netherlands' qualifying campaign was shambolic, with the Dutch failing to even qualify for the play-offs.

Oranje will visit London on March 29, following England's other friendlies against Spain, France and Germany.

The Dutch will also face Wales in Cardiff next month as Chris Coleman begins to form his plans ahead of his nation's first trip to a major tournament since 1958.

James Gay-Rees was also behind the award-winning film  Senna , about the Brazilian Formula 1 driver. "He's got a very small group of friends and he surrounds himself with his family," James said. "I think the level of sacrifice required to operate at that level is beyond most of our understanding." The documentary team followed Real Madrid and Portugal player Ronaldo around for a year and James says the thing that surprised him most was how the star deals with his stardom. "It requires a huge amount of dedication and sacrifice," he said. "He has an idea, he wants a legacy, he wants to go down as one of the greatest players of all time.
