England vs Slovenia
It's that time again. For me to look forward to an England game and then be let down after 90 minutes when it's been absolute bonk. Of course, every game I think it might be different!
Hopefully it'll be worth watching with Harry Kane scoring more goals.

Re: England vs Slovenia
Why do you do it to yourself.
Its the same as its always been.
I mean if you happen to be in the pub, have a few cursory glances at the screen, but don't set aside to time to watch that dross.
Watching England is so boring paint watches them dry

Re: England vs Slovenia
Might actually be a decent game for once this one FF based on Slovenia needing a result. I am hoping it will be a bit more open than the usual international matches we are served up.

Re: England vs Slovenia
Giving it a miss, know it will be the usual dross ending up with a 2 or 3-0 win with a couple of goals in the last 10 mins to make the score look impressive.
Will be seeing how the Scots get on instead.

Re: England vs Slovenia
I've not watched England footy team live for decades now though watched loads of England cricket & rugby games.
I'd have half watched on TV tonight along with NI but I'm off to see a gig at 19.30. When I get back, I'll have a quick look at the reports and maybe watch highlights if it's seen as a good performance; probably have to find something else to watch before toddling off to bed though.

Hart and The Ox in the starting 11 is all you need to know about Southgate. What a plum he is.

Re: England vs Slovenia
Happens a lot in international football where the supposed weaker team starts the match like a train and scores early as the half progresses the ' stronger' team gets a foothold, equalises and then goes on to win comfortably.
The moral of the tale is:
Both teams to score in the first half - 5/1 with Betfair.
Those boots? Fill 'em.

Re: England vs Slovenia
I think its a disgrace that every Burnley player that qualifies to play for england isn't selected..
Re: England vs Slovenia
Everyone forgets that england were crap at Italia 90 and euro 96 too, they just scrambled through further on those occasions.

You've had your opinion since Tom Heaton got injured, thus couldn't be selected.

Re: England vs Slovenia
As much as I like Ben mee, he'll rightly never get in an England squad. Far too much reliance on ball playing defenders for him to get a sniff. His passing is pretty woeful. But in the good ol days when defenders were defenders, perhaps.
Tarkowski on the other hand, well I'd be very surprised if we didn't see him in an England shirt while playing for Burnley.

Italia 90 versus ROI Egypt Belgium and Cameroon we were crap, played well against Holland and West Germany.
Euro 96 Switzerland Scotland and Spain we were shite good against the Dutch and Germans.

Can you imagine Southgate saying 'I want a £250,000 bonus for qualifying or you can shove the job'?
I can't, so why offer him it?

That euro 96 game against Holland was immense though, with the added bonus where a consolation goal for holland stuffed the Scots.

Re: England vs Slovenia
Holland were shyte in that tournament. Remember everyone gushing at gazza doing a rabona that if it weren't for mcmananan stretching every sinew to control it, would have gone out of play. Gazza was a liability for england, total toss. But hey, he juggled past Colin Henry! Must be world class..willsclarets wrote:That euro 96 game against Holland was immense though, with the added bonus where a consolation goal for holland stuffed the Scots.

Total Toss players don’t win “Young Player of the Tournament”! But he was definitely better pre injury and never really recovered.Saxoman wrote:Holland were shyte in that tournament.

"juggled past Colin Hendry"
It was a class goal, not sure juggled is the right word - and I can't remember celebrating more at an England goal either. I'm not averse to playing down so called great moments for England, but that was one.

Ok. He makes the odd mistake, but he's a hell of a good defender.

Re: England vs Slovenia
From the BBC live text:
"Tonight's England squad is a damning indictment of the state of the game in England currently. Oxlade-Chamberlain starts despite not having played well all season, and being a professional bench warmer for Liverpool. Lingard has started precisely zero games for Man U this season, yet makes the squad alongside the likes of Daniel Sturridge, who has managed one goal all season and is usually on the bench. This is why young English players don't mind sitting on the bench at top clubs. Because the reputation of those clubs makes you an automatic pick for the England squad, over other English players who are outperforming them whilst playing for the so called 'smaller clubs'. Oxlade-Chamberlain making the starting line up is an absolute disgrace and it shows how laughable Southgate is as a manager."

Rashford's corners have been shocking. He needs a protein shake at half time to beat the first man.
