England v Costa Rica

And we're off.

Why are England, who traditionally play in white, playing in red against a Costa Rica side playing in white, when they traditionally play in red?

Probably to keep the idea of us playing away up. It's probably psychological.

Tonight is proof that England games (especially friendlies) should never be at Wembley. Great atmosphere at Leeds and stadium full

To keep people happy, and warrant them bringing out 2 shirts every 12 months.

On a side note, can see it kicking off tonight, fans already taunting each other

Fabulous strike!

Thought that was going to row Z.

The dip on that was phenomenal

Really! I know, it's ridiculous, but they're not gonna sell the red shirts if they never use them.

Looked a good goal, but don't think that would have gone in against
a decent keeper tbh.

I prefer red...we won the world cup in red.

If he was any good then he'd have been signed by a bigger country by now.

Hot weather, belly full of beer, in Leeds, Leeds fans singing Leeds songs, rest taunting them back, come 22:30 they'll be some fisticuffs.
They'll be some groups of knobheads somewhere intent on fighting, just hope it's not inside the ground.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 8:30 pm

Is Nahki Wells, I mean Loftus-Cheek going to join in tonight. Doesn't look too good to me, hardly a natural 10

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 8:34 pm

playing some good stuff

gsyclaret · Post by **gsyclaret** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 8:38 pm

Certainly playing a lot better than the last game, moving the ball much quicker.

Certainly by far the better side, Costa Rica understandably looking very leggy, and poor.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 8:51 pm

Rashford is playing well. Henderson finding lots of space to receive a pass and playing the ball around well. Vardy looks to be heavily marked.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 8:51 pm

Nodded off after the goal. Bring on the. Pope!

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 9:03 pm

no Pope yet

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 9:03 pm

Between 70-80 minutes depending on the score I think

Tripps coming on shortly.
We want Pope We want Pope. We want Pope!!!

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 9:22 pm

The number of one-footed players is astonishing, on both sides.

Steptoe off, Wellbeck on.

Great moment. And came on with two ex-Clarets as well!

What we want now is for Costa Rica to float in a dozen crosses, so he can catch them all.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 9:26 pm

Was it my ears, or did Nick get a louder cheer than the others coming on?

I suspect there’s more Burnley than Spurs fans there.
