England v Brazil tonight - anyone bothering?

[Gbspurs]

Why did Bale go off?

Don't panic it was just to keep us happy.

Thanks. There was a bit of panic

They usually take off MOTM players in friendlies early so they can get a bit of applause from the crowd

Dempsey scores for the US.....

Bale must get subbed every game!!

Bale must get subbed every game!!

They just said on Sky that he was their only goalscorer last year, they should just rename Wales, Bales

Why did Bale go off?

Not injured, don't worry!

Surprised to see Ronaldinho starting (and wearin no. 10) - I thought his star had faded?

Cracking player when at his peak but seemed to lose it like a few Brazalian players have as they near their 30's...

Just on my way from the England match. Good game, played well, but have to say Brasil were below poor. But who cares, England won, now we are in pole position to win the world cup next year.

Can I just say how absolutely average Neymar looked. Not to say he won't be a great player but how people compare him to Ronaldo and Messi is beyond me. They both looked far better players than he does at 21. He isn't even prolific in a league with notoriously atrocious defending.

Wilshere's quality is really starting to annoy me.

Meh, makes me more excited for the future of the national team

 

[AssaTM]

It's best to try and distance yourself from any club rivalries when looking at England right now, simply because we dont look like total toilet, and that is pleasing

Wilshere's quality is really starting to annoy me.

When he's in an England shirt you cannot help but think how good he will be in the future.... When he's in that red shirt, wanker....... such a fickle bunch we football fans are.

Pretty certain 8/10 cats couldn't give a fuck about the national team.

 

[Shanks]

Yeah Wilshere is some player.

Great to see us with a centre midfielder of such quality at last.

Rooney when actually on form is a cracking player too.

I know Cahill fucked up for the goal, but Hart dropped another clanger by kicking the ball right at him to nearly let Brazil go 2-1 up - that keeper worries me slightly.

Great result though and the game was actually decent considering it was a friendly.

I'm sure the gooners say the same about Bale

 

[teok]

Laughing at the pre match comments right now. Yeah who wants to watch england beat brasil?

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

Sandro bothered.

Sadly this is still the case for me and a win against Brazil in a meaningless game doesn't change that.

I still don't really understand why teams have friendly matches other than perhaps in the build up to a major tournament.
