Team GB line up:

#TeamGB: Butland; Richards, Caulker, Tomkins, Taylor; Bellamy, Cleverley, Ramsey, Allen, Giggs; Sordell

How depressing is that team. At least the Senegal v Uruguay was a decent game.

Rather impressed with Konate and Mane. Would be good additions to our development squad and very gettable considering they play for Maccabi Tel Aviv and Metz.

I think that is the most ballanced back 4 so far but I would rather have Rose at LB than Taylor and Bertrand as his performance there for Team GB has been the best so far by a LB

But both Cleverly and to a less extent Ramsey have been passenger in matches, with hardly being on the ball

Decent keeper and centre back partnership but there's a complete and utter lack of pace in midfield. 3 central midfielders and old man Giggs. Bellamy and Sordell just show how poor our squad is.

This is my first 9 minutes of Team GB and my initial impression?

What a load of bollocks.

<shakes head slowly>

Caulker looking good again though.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Old man Giggs!

 

[tobi]

Good goal.

 

[felmani26]

I see us Welsh are carrying Team GB!

 

[SlickMongoose]

Caulker looking good again though.

He's about 100000000x the player Tomkins is.

What the fuck is up with Spain? 1-0 down to Honduras now!

 

[Pringle]

GDS came off the bench to score 2 (1 a pen) tonight for Mexico against the mighty Gabon!

Hell yes.

Only because the Welsh were available for selection having not participated in the Euros.

Ramsey and taylor should not be in the starting lineup imo, though have missed the first half of todays match but that said Cleverly has been shocking

Taylor has done well so far imo, agree with Ramsey and Cleverly though.

is it just me... or do you all feel that Stuart Pearce doesn't know who the best 11 players on his team are?

 

[tobi]

Spain are getting closer.

The fact he keeps playing rose at LW tells me he not sure what he is doing and they just scored

 

[Misfit]

Chortle.

This GB team is woeful. Somewhat glad Becks isn't associated with this shower of shit.

Edit: I take it all back.

Team GB are in trouble.... i would like to see Rose at LB... inject some width into the side... i kinda prefer him playing there... much space to run into as compared to left mid.
