Diving header, 2-1

No Milner, its not your ball, you're just utter shite.

[budgetmeansbudget]

All these different formations and playing options, no doubt when the final eleven is picked it will probably be one that has barely played together before. Too much experimentation and messing about, no consistency.

So who would you take between Barkly, Henderson and Wiltshire?

All 3 are awful.

Yep

Wilshere isn't fit.
Henderson is sh*t.
And Barkley had an awful second half of the season.

[yuppie]

Wilshere will probably get fit, and due to the standard of the others, he is probably worth the risk.

Not sure Drinkwater did himself any favours tonight.

Diving header, 2-1

confused the hell out of me.... I was only half watching because the football was dire, when I saw Dier come flying in and burying the ball in the back of the net..... "Oooh....Good goal", says I.... then I saw the the 2-1 scoreline, and a/ wondered when Aus had scored their goal (thought I'd missed it) then b/ wondered why they didn't change the scoreline to 3-1

If England played better football I might be able to keep my concentration for longer

Thoroughly disappointing match given how well it all started

First time I've seen anything of Rashford.......I know he's young, I know he took his goal well, but tbh, he looks a little clumsy to me
(am I allowed to say that?)

I'm still not 100% certain that Rashford will make the cut, but he does look odds on now.

Given Delph's injury, it's two from Barkley, Townsend, Drinkwater, Sturridge, and Rashford to miss out in my view. Rightly or wrongly, I really cannot see Roy leaving out Wilshere, Henderson, Sterling or Milner.

My gut is that it'll be Barkley and Drinkwater who miss out, unless Sturridge fails to prove his fitness in which case Barkley gets a reprise.

Put the beat down on the Icelanders tonight!! Good 3-2 win.

Caught the end of the Belgium v Finland game. Wilmotts is a terrible coach, the way he sets up his Belgium side when he has so much talent is pretty laughable

According to Michael Owen, John Stones would walk into the Barcelona team.

I can only assume he means Barcelona Sporting Club Guayaquil in Ecuador's second tier, seeing as though he couldnt walk into the Everton team for most of the last 6 months.

England play Portugal tonight. I presume Ronaldo won't play, or if he does, maybe a half?

He's on holida after the CL final. Roy already moaned that he wanted Ronaldo to play to test his defence before Bale, but he wont be there.

Pepe isn't playing either.

I take it the side that starts tonight is likely to be the side that starts the Euros, pending any injuries?
