if England are relying on Smalling, then they are *modded*

[Durhamfootman]

they'll get out of the groups, because of the format.... I think I have a good chance of qualifying into the ko stages with this format...... but if Smalling is as good as England have got then they'll go out at the first ko stage

Rashford scores in the 3rd minute!

That's him on the plane.

[Aidan11]

Bloody hell I didn't know it started.

[yuppie]

Yep, what a start to an international career

[Durhamfootman]

Sterling and Rooney combine for the second, that's them in the starting line up, oh dear!

[Gingerfinch]

Sterling actually lifted his head up! Great finish.

[Aidan11]

Some hard choices for Roy.

Some hard choices for Roy.

Can't imagine Rooney will find himself this far forward in the tournament, with the likes of Vardy, Kane and Rashford in the squad.

[Gingerfinch]

Australia are all over the place.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Milner can't start surely, he's a complete non entity.

[Gingerfinch]

He nearly scored.

[budgetmeansbudget]

He nearly scored.

But the git put it wide.

Dier isn't going to play centre back again!
