Quoted from www.thefa.com:

England "B" matches have been seen as stepping stones to the senior team since they were introduced by Walter Winterbottom back in 1949.


There is A and B team for England.

Normally A team's players will not involved in a B team's match. B team is really for those players have not been picked from A team, but to get international's match experience. This time i think Eriksson wana take more chances to test those players he picked for the world cup. Thats why he let them play for the B team. However, B team only have matches occasionally.
