England got off to a winning start in 2011 as they came from behind to beat Denmark 1-0 in Copenhagen thanks to goals in either half from Darren Bent and Ashley Young. It was sweet revenge for the Three Lions, who had been humbled 4-1 by the Danish when the two teams last met in 2004.

A brace for Blackburn Rovers forward Nikola Kalinic allowed Croatia to continue their excellent run of international form as they beat the Czech Republic 4-2 in Pula. Russia, meanwhile, were stunned 1-0 by Iran while Guus Hiddink’s Turkey had to settle for a share of the spoils against South Korea as both teams played out a goalless stalemate.
Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema was on target for France as they debuted in their new Nike strip with a 1-0 win over long time rivals Brazil.

Germany were not able to avenge their 2006 semifinal defeat against former world champions Italy as they drew 1-1 with the Azzurri in Dortmund. An early goal from Miroslav Klose was cancelled out nine minutes from time by Giuseppe Rossi.

The battle between the two best players in the planet saw Lionel Messi have the last laugh as his penalty allowed Argentina to beat Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal 2-1 in Geneva.
