Slovakia are one of europes top second tier team, they on their day can beat anyoneYes Slovakia beat Russia but honestly, they aren't a great side. Capable of turning out good performances but they go off the boil so readily and considering they had a good game against Russia, they'll probably go back to being off the pace. That England side should be more than good enough to beat them(and I'm not English).
But Hamsik is their only top quality player. I'd say stick Dier on him at all times to take him out of the game, and if he does his job then England will win.Slovakia are one of europes top second tier team, they on their day can beat anyone
They aren't as shit as people make and Hamsik has the potential to cause Cahill and SMalling major problems at the back with his through balls
Not really they are a constant threat because of their high work rate. Its like saying athletic Bilbao have no top quality players yet they work really hard to be a constant threat. We saw it against Costa rica teams that work hard can cause england a problemBut Hamsik is their only top quality player. I'd say stick Dier on him at all times to take him out of the game, and if he does his job then England will win.
He hasn't ever been sent off for his temperament yetAlli definitely needs to be rested as the Slovaks look like a very physical side looking to wound their opponents up. Would be a shame if he got sent off for his temperament again.
I don't get what the fuss is about, Still a decent side and we haven't looked amazing at "full strength" so I don't see the harm.Makes sense to rotate the squad, give players a game to settle them into the squad should they be needed at a later date.
One thing that does make me laugh is how Kane has been dropped but Rooney has been rested
