[ps3ud0]

The last 40mins is the best I've seen from England pre-WC, highlight was Wrighty arguing playing football in a baseball stadium...

[Psycho Ned]

Let's hope all of England's players get through this unscathed, if one of them pulls a muscle now we'll never hear the end of it about how it was the stoppages/pitches/weathers fault!

 

[nemtizz]

I like this ref.

 

[Jokester]

Very nasty tackle that.

 

[ic1male]

You should just turn the sound down on ITV and stick Five Live on. That's what I do. Alan Green's moaning is far more hilarious than Chiles' babble.

 

[omnomnom]

Very nasty tackle that.

Wasn't it just. I'd be bringing Gerrard and Sturridge off at half time.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Someone needs to stick a boot in to one of their players.

 

[Nate75]

should have been red

 

[omnomnom]

Its getting silly now. They need to be seeing red for these.

 

[McBain]

That was out of order.

 

[Robbo]

Wow, Sturridge should have knocked the **** out.

 

[G|mp]

Well done Sturridge, I'd have ripped his ****ing head off for that.

Could have killed him.

 

[omnomnom]

Someone needs to stick a boot in to one of their players.

We'd end up getting one sent off. The ref needs to have a word here because they are clearly wound up. Hodge could do with bringing ok a few to put a tackle in.

 

[McBain]

Hahaha, Honduran player asking for a yellow card in a friendly, getting silly now.

 

[Pighardia]

I have to say, I really like this England team. No chance of winning of course, but will give anyone a game I think, and that is good enough for me.

Our squad is so much more appealing this time round, have a look at the players we had in 2010, the likes of Heskey etc. At least we have some genuinely promising youngsters coming through.

It said on the radio the other day we have one of the youngest average age of the squads at the World Cup, in 2010 we had one of the oldest (and crapest )

Totally agree, it's the first time for a long time that I've actually been interested in watching us.

 

[G|mp]

This will be the team that starts against Italy I would imagine, although I would put Jones in for Johnson.

Johnson isn't the best but Jones? Nooooo

Sterling for Welbeck would do me.

 

[G|mp]

Johnson isn't the best but Jones? Nooooo

Sterling for Welbeck would do me.

He's awful, how he's a footballer let alone an International.

Jones adds heading ability at both ends of the pitch and for as dozy as he is sometimes, he defends a lot better than Johnson ever has.
