The England Thread

[Colonel_Klinck]

I haven't seen anything from Wilshire that puts him on the plane, even putting my Gooner hate aside. He's not been back long enough to find any form. Taking a player out of form to a tournament is madness!

Good finish

Good break and goal from Rooney.

What a surprise. Rooney is still good.

Personally I can't see him going. The fact that he was taken off early today when he needs all the game time he can get was pretty telling.

It's not like we can give him match practice during the tournament, even bringing him off the bench would risk wasting a sub.

That goal was unsaveable.

What a surprise. Rooney is still good.

Had half the pitch to himself, and still just ended up smashing it as hard as he could.

What does that mean?

Sterling has grown into this game and has been very good in the 2nd half.

Wow Rooney scores his 52nd goal against a minor international side in a friendly. The majority of his other 51 goals were against the minnows too.

 

[theShiznit]

What does that mean?

All the time in the world and he scores from a hit and hope shot.

If he missed that in a competitive game with that much time and space everyone would be saying "why has he taken that so early?"

Rashford was very lucky that the ball fell to him for the goal. The rest of his match was very poor. Shocking first touch.

Christ. Glenn is clearly on commission per positive comment

Firstly, that's obviously incorrect. Secondly, if you look at the goals scored by almost every international player, due to the nature of the qualifying for tournaments, you'll see that the it's the same for everyone.

This is easily rogic's best game for us. Would like to see him get a goal

Bit harsh. He has faith in his ability and scored a good goal no point in speculating what might have happening if he missed.

If that was a Spurs player, you'd be saying the complete opposite. He's the youngest ever England player to score on their debut, that's a fantastic achievement.

 

[yankspurs]

Danny Rose is England's best left back.

 

[spursfan77]

Had half the pitch to himself, and still just ended up smashing it as hard as he could.

It was the perfect finish from where he was surely?

If Kane had done that everyone would have said its a great confident finish.

The ball deflected to him and he toe poked it. Was very lucky
