The England Thread

Has Jamie Vardy touched the ball?

Been watching women's celebrity boxing rather than this.

I've got Waterford vs Shamrock Rovers it's 2-1 with 10 mins to go.

It's so wet the players should be wearing flippers instead of boots.

Did you watch any of it? Much more entertaining under southgate than we have been for a long time.

I could get the England game but I really can't be arsed with fuckabout friendlies.

To be fair it hasn't been played like one.

Nice to see they've got it in for Alli on ITV tonight

Vardy's not even touched the ball in 20 minutes and the commentator just snorts 'yeah well if he had he'd have scored'

Game fizzled out towards the end.

I'd say Stones and Walker (considering the experiment of him playing at RCB) were the biggest plus points.

If I don't see some Dutch ultras with an upside down trumpet I'll be very disappointed.

Thought Rose looked good till he tired a bit.

Actually saw a bit of hunger today. Enjoyable game to watch and certainly gives us something to build from.


Then again, Netherlands are light years away from ever being competitive. Their squad today was atrocious.

Really liked the back 6. Maguire makes me a tad uneasy at times, but it's certainly worth continuing with.

Alli actually seemed to loose the ball every time it was played to him, the guys touch is one of the poorest in our whole squad.

I don't understand posts like this. You seem proud of how much you don't care about England and want us to know?

I only ever went to one England friendly - v Argentina at Wembley in May 1980, truly just to see Maradona.

Fortunately I went to Wembley quite a few more times during that decade.

Haha I've seen so much of that.

Decent performance but what the hell has happened to Dutch football, they were shocking.
I never thought I'd see the day Holland were playing route one whilst we were knocking the ball around to feet.

 

[Trippier the RB fantastic]

Promising performance by England tonight albeit against a very poor Dutch side.
As others have mentioned our back 5 were excellent defensively and in posession and im a big fan of Jordan Pickford.

We lacked real class in the final third but with Kane and Dele to come back in and maybe Wilshere (if fit) pulling the strings in CM i can see signs of us having an encouraging world cup.

De Light for them looked impressive and if Toby does leave in the summer ( i pray he dosent) then we should be all over this kid and trying to reunite him with Sanchez.
