Mixed night for big guns

AGENCIES, Paris
Europe's top teams on Wednesday showed how new look formations were shaping up after Euro 2008 with 2010 World Cup qualifiers less than three weeks away.
The newly-crowned European champions Spain began where they left off in the summer and claimed a 3-0 victory in Denmark, and finalists Germany won 2-0 against Belgium.
England's blushes were saved by a late equaliser from Joe Cole in a 2-2 draw against Czech Republic at Wembley and France, though they beat Sweden 3-2 in Gothenburg, looked to have defensive frailties.
Italy drew 2-2 against Euro 2008 co-hosts Austria in Nice, looking far from their 2006 World Cup winning form.
Two goals from Liverpool
midfielder Xabi Alonso ensured European champions Spain completed preparations for their World Cup qualification campaign on a high.
Substitute Alonso gave Spain the lead five minutes into the second half of their friendly against Denmark in Copenhagen.
Barcelona playmaker Xavi, one of the stars of Spain's Euro 2008 success, scored a second Spain goal with 18 minutes to go and Alonso added his second in the final minute.
The 3-0 victory gave new national team boss Vicente del Bosque the perfect start Belarus, who will host England in an October qualifier, demonstrated they could be a tough nut to crack, gaining a creditable goalless draw at home to Argentina in Minsk
The South Americans were missing some of their star performers, who are on Olympic duty in Beijing, but Manchester United
striker Carlos Tevez did feature in their line-up.
Honours were even in a rematch of the Euro 2008 quarterfinal between Russia and Holland in Moscow.
.Arsenal striker Robin van Persie gave Holland a first-half lead but Konstantin Zyryanov’s penalty with 13 minutes to go earned a draw for Guus Hiddink's men, who are in the same qualifying group as Wales.
World champions Italy, who go up against Giovanni TYapattoni's Republic of Ireland in qualifying, avoided an embarrassing defeat with a 2-2 draw against Austria.
They had trailed 2-0 to goals from Middlesbrough captain Emanuel Pogatetz and Marc Janko, but own goals from Martin Stranzl and Ramazan Ozcan drew the Azzurri leveL
New Portugal boss Carlos Queiroz got off to a good start as a late flurry of goals gave his side a 5-0 win over the Faroe Islands.
It took 23 minutes for the former Manchester United assistant's charges to break the islanders down as Carlos Martins scored the only goal of the first half.
Simao made it 2-0 three minutes into the second half and the score looked set to stay that way until Duda, Bruno Alves and Nani all found the net in the final four minutes of the game.
Cole helped Capello avoid a first Wembley defeat as his late equaliser earned a barely-deserved 2-2 draw against the Czech Republic.
Despite Cole’s intervention it was still a dispiriting experience for Capello, who had to deal with the revelation that the man who hired him - the FA's chief executive Brian Barwick - is set to quit his post at Soho Square.
