Great pass by Lallana to play Vardy in. He needs to play 10 every game.

Spain just picked us open lol. Don't think this'll stay 1-0 for very long.

It's funny how going to the Euros the general consensus was that England had some great strikers. Now - with Vardy being revealed to be a scrub, Rooney even more past it, Sturridge off-form / past it / can't be bothered any longer and Kane being limited in all ways as he's always been - England's striking options are looking pretty shit.

Carroll can't be recalled soon enough.

by Jay29 Tue Nov 15, 2016 8:25 pm

Lallana injured. Walcott coming on.

by Jay29 Tue Nov 15, 2016 8:49 pm

Half-time.

A refreshingly good half from us. A team actually following tactical instructions and doing it well. Showing menace on the counter as well.

This way of playing suits our players. No idea why they didn't try it at the Euros.

Because the Euros were the Euros and this is a friendly. England have no problem with performing in friendlies.

I'm not talking about performance though. I'm talking about style of play.

2-0. Bullet header from Vardy.

Good to have a big friendly win to celebrate before the inevitable disappointment at the next tournament.

by Art Morte Tue Nov 15, 2016 9:10 pm

Beating the Siesta Boys in a friendly is about as relevant as beating Finland in a competitive game, tbh.

Awful defending by Dier

by urbaNRoots Tue Nov 15, 2016 10:02 pm

John Stones is *bleep* hilarious, he can pass well though.

by RealGunner Tue Nov 15, 2016 10:03 pm

Guy is a mixture of Rio Ferdinand and Titus bramble

by elfmeter Tue Nov 15, 2016 10:58 pm

Thomas Muller was right. Liverpool fans will be furious having to play these little teams who hack and foul, only to lose a player like Lallana to injury!

I didnt see the game, I honestly hope the injury is not bad.

Gareth Southgate to be appointed as England boss

by RealGunner Sun Nov 20, 2016 1:09 pm

Am I the only one who thinks this Rooney alcohol thing is hugely overblown?

Stan collymore went as far as saying that Rooney is drinking because he can't handle the fact he is past his prime Laughing

by Jay29 Sun Nov 20, 2016 2:25 pm

It's a big deal because this is the most professional era of players ever and everyone expects footballers to live with strict discipline. It's only natural people conclude that heavy drinking may be responsible for Rooney's rapid decline over the years.

But yes, it is overblown. Players get up to all types of dodgey shit. A few drinks in a hotel is nothing by comparison.

by Jay29 Wed Nov 30, 2016 3:34 pm

Official: Gareth Southgate is England manager.

This will be different. Hopefully.

by Art Morte Wed Nov 30, 2016 4:02 pm

Best of luck to him, but it does feel an underwhelming appointment.

by Hapless_Hans Wed Nov 30, 2016 4:19 pm

Not just his players, also the FA letting Sir Alan Pardew down Sad
