Internationals 26-3-24

[Tricky Trevor]

Muric starts for Kosovo. So no injury concern for now at least.
Wales v Poland for me tonight. A competitive game rather than a chance to throw caps about. Really ticked off with Mainoo getting caps when he is in his apprenticeship. England caps should be earned.

[LeadBelly]

I'll definitely be watching Wales v Poland rather than the friendly at Wembley. Ill even switch on 5 mins before K.O for the anthems.
I'm not Welsh but lived in Wales for two chunks of my life totaling about 10 years so very much supporting them this evening. Roberts playing right midfield, Lewandowski up front for Poland.

[morninbob]

Cullen and O'Shea v zeki.

[Flixtonclaret1]

Wow … that was some anthem belted out by the Welsh.
All the players all in time as well …. can turn volume off now as I'm watching SC4

[ISpeds00]

Think it was mentioned the other day about Norway and how **** they are

looking at that starting 11 you'd be amazed how they havent won tonight - accumulators ruined nationwide

[Rileybobs]

This England game should be abandoned for Belgium’s kit.

[ISpeds00]

and...

over to wales we go

England are ****

[Rileybobs]

That goal was even worse than Belgium’s kit.

[Tricky Trevor]

Georgia have won the first of tonights play-offs. Beating Greece 4-2 on pens after a 0-0 draw.

[Bosscat]

Get Trafford in ... Howler from Pitchfork there

[Conroysleftfoot]

Get Pickford off and Traff on.

[Claretincraven]

I can’t believe Chilwell is playing after his horror show at the weekend. If he is one of the best two left backs in the country we really are stuffed.

[Bosscat]

Wonder if anyone had a bet on Toney taking a penno tonight

[HahaYeah]

Roberts sporting his 'lucky' Dick Dastardly tache.

[Rileybobs]

Ivan the Toneyble. Huge goal. Massive credit to Gareth for putting Toney on penalty duties.

The England game should be abandoned for wearing that deplorable grey kit. Where’s the traditional white. “money, money, money.

[aclaretinstevenage]

Decided to watch Scotland v N. Ireland purely because Jamie Reid of Stevenage fc is playing for N.I.

The odious Robert Jones is Ref. Not the best game.

[burnmark]

It’s in tribute to Tintin believe it or not!

[HahaYeah]

Think it's actually purple but it does look like an old dishrag.

[Rileybobs]

Haha. Sometimes an idea should remain an idea.

Definitely, I see some comments about the Belgium kit but heck that England strip is rotten.

Obviously just flicking around looking for a decent game somewhere , tried the Wales match but can't handle the commentary.

[Tricky Trevor]

Re:Roberts ‘tache. Mrs. Roberts is very happy.

[Rileybobs]

I think the England kit is pretty neat.

[Rileybobs]

England’s Lewis Dunk…

[ISpeds00]

power ****

[Bordeauxclaret]

Jittery keeper and a poor defence.

Some pressure on the attacking players.

[ClaretTony]

I thought Belgium’s kit looked claret & blue from a distance

[Boss Hogg]

This England kit is awful what’s the point of it on home turf ? A better game than the Brazil one. Chilwell and Dunk not looking great so far.

[TsarBomba]

How Tomori doesn’t get a look in, even in friendlies, is beyond me. Obviously Southgate has his favourites.

[HahaYeah]

Great play by Roberts then, it's that tache!

[beddie]

What an absolute shambles by Dunk. He doesn’t need to go to ground FFS.

[TPClaret]

Another boring Southgate performance.

[Bordeauxclaret]

I think we’ve played alright to be honest. Two horrible mistakes.

[Rileybobs]

England have been decent. Some nice play between the lines. All three midfielders looking good. Obviously can’t make the defensive mistakes we have and get away with them. I wouldn’t call it a boring performance though.

[HahaYeah]

HT Wales 0 Poland 0.

Great headed goal disallowed, marginally offside.

Connor playing well.

toney and mainoo the difference
toney offers way much more than watkins - sometimes more so than kane
mainoo is like a duck to water

[Rileybobs]

Yeah, bound to be a Mainoo bandwagon but he’s been impressive.

[Rileybobs]

Woke England removing names from the back of their kits to raise awareness for dementia.

[timshorts]

HT Wales 0 Poland 0.


Connor playing well.

Yep. Keeps popping up all over the place. No one goes with him when he drifts infield.

A very even game though. Moore having a much better game than v Finland, although thats probably because " moving whilst being tall" doesn't appear to be this refs list of offences.

Confirms the view of several on this forum that Trafford’s inclusion for this game was just to make up the numbers

[Paul Waine]

No names on the shirts in the 2nd half. Part of a dementia awareness campaign. It's possible the colour of the kit is also part of the dementia awareness campaign.

Players will sign shirts after game. Shirts to be sold/auctioned to raise funds for dementia campaign.

Why is campaign on a serious health issue "woke?"

That’s just the away kit.

I was being ironic.

It's a homage to the john major spitting image puppet. As is the style of play by the sound of it.

Should England end up losing the game no doubt the performance will quickly be forgotten

[HahaYeah]

Who cares about their performance as long as they've shown their Woke credentials.

[Bosscat]

I thought Belgium’s kit looked claret & blue from a distance

They forgot their shorts and borrowed some from Coventry Citys 80's brown kit

[Goalposts]

Same old england for me when faced with a top ten side, defensively not up to snuff
