Greece vs England

[hoosier-daddy]

Big fan of Madueke by the way.

[dougcollins]

I generally like any Greek stringed instruments.

[boatshed bill]

I like Greek moussaka too

[ISpeds00]

Another Greece win tonight

Up the plate smashers

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Really bizarre for the FA to leave Carsley in charge for another round of games.

[Rileybobs]

Huge chance for Carsley to be the first England manager to beat Greece since Steve McClaren, and what an achievement that would be.

[hoosier-daddy]

Really bizarre for the FA to leave Carsley in charge for another round of games.

I was thinking that but guess he's giving players a chance.

[Rileybobs]

Most importantly, is Carsley wearing a poppy?

[ElectroClaret]

THB on the bench.
Might get a few minutes 2nd half.

[dougcollins]

I assume Tuchel has a contracted starting date and there would be no point putting anyone else in charge?

And that nobody cares about these games.

[fidelcastro]

If he doesn't sing the national anthem I'm turning off!

That's my excuse anyway

[boatshed bill]

And that nobody cares about these games.

don't these games have bearing on World Cup qualification?

[dougcollins]

don't these games have bearing on World Cup qualification?

I don't know. Do they?

[fidelcastro]

don't these games have bearing on World Cup qualification?

Technically.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Yeah that does sound about the right level of bumbling for the FA. I am assuming that they gave these games to Carsley in advance after Southgate left and didn't back themselves to find a replacement in time.

Does anyone care about England games (outside major tournaments)? Players included, given the numbers who withdrew/Kane's comments this week.

To be fair, you've come onto an England game thread, so you care enough.

[dougcollins]

Apparently, a group win gives you a WC play-off spot if you were to have a disastrous qualifying campaign.

FIFA are disappearing up their own @rses with this stuff, no wonder people are losing interest.

These games also count towards ranking and therefore seeding at the World Cup.

[Vino blanco]

I’m sure I read or heard that Tuchel’s contract starts on Jan. 1 next year.

[hoosier-daddy]

Come on England!!

[claretburns]

It won't effect England though as we'll be number 1 seeds in the draw next month.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Would rather watch paint dry

[hoosier-daddy]

Excellent play by Madueke.

[ElectroClaret]

Watkins scores.

[Bordeauxclaret]

A winger attacking the byline and picking someone out?

Crazy. We should try that.

[Bosscat]

2 silly bookings there ... tut tut tut England

[Vincent'sCap]

You know your getting old when you don't know who half of the England team are and who they play for.

[fidelcastro]

Not just me then

I'll be honest. There were a couple of names on the subs bench who I'd never even heard of.

[Bordeauxclaret]

This game needs more free kicks.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

To be fair, you've come onto an England game thread, so you care enough.

I wouldn't say my caring levels are at zero, although they are pretty low. Definitely not high enough to actually watch Carsleyball, but I will give it a watch once Tuchel is in charge

[Vincent'sCap]

International football is more boring than the Premier League so so predictable and an England team full of average footballers

[hoosier-daddy]

Bellingham should have done better, even with a laser shining in his eyes.

[hoosier-daddy]

Decent half from England winning 1-0. Overall look very comfortable.

[ISpeds00]

Look comfy but it's boring

[karatekid]

Would rather watch paint dry

How’s that paint going? Is it dry yet?

[boatshed bill]

So uninspiring. Still, we are the better team, i just wish we could be more adventurous.

[hoosier-daddy]

Madueke is getting 2-3 men on him every time. It's what happens when Koleosho has the ball.

[gandhisflipflop]

It’s such a naff and unnecessary competition this nations league. I honestly cannot take it seriously

[hoosier-daddy]

I hope you aren't watching because that would be just bloody daft.

[karatekid]

Decent game second half.

[ElectroClaret]

0-2 OG off the keeper.

[hoosier-daddy]

2-0 England.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Nice finish.

[hoosier-daddy]

What a goal.

3-0.

[ElectroClaret]

0-3 Brilliant flick from Curtis Jones.

[jos]

What a goal.

3-0.

0-3.

Sorry, just me being pedantic.

[karatekid]

Great goal. Just a shame a lot of UTC posters will have missed it.

[blatherwickstattoos]

How’s that paint going? Is it dry yet?

Yeah. The paint did a great job.

[mdd2]

Proper game now
Tippy tappy has been binned

[martin_p]

Been quite an entertaining game all in all.
