Might as well make a thread for them.

 

Can't help but like Jack Grealish. Always good entertainment and never afraid to take the piss out of himself and shake off the social media criticism.

Roothless from them, but we have always been flat-track bullies in games like this, and have pretty much always impressed in qualifiers, its why we are ranked so well, and what we do well.

Can't really read too much into these games other than, they did the job well and we look to be on way to another tournament in style, and will challengers again, well done manager and players.

Terrible atmosphere though, can happen when games are so easy.

 

Lost 1 of the last 60 qualifiers. It’s a pretty pointless process tbh. I know it’s all about giving teams every opportunity to qualify but it’s already a closed shop by default. Especially now 2 qualify from each group. 

Under 21's beat Portugal 1-0 to go into the semi final V Israel next Wednesday, Traff made a very good save in the first half

Israel's youth teams seem to be up and coming, did well at U20 world cup as well.

Yeah he played well. The passing for England's goal was superb too was like watching a game of Fifa.

When and what time is the ballot draw, any idea pal ?, everyone’s keeping it hush on the England sites, I’ve heard after 2pm Friday or Mon-Tues next week for the 30% like myself 😀

Remember us taking 6,000 when we werent allocated any tickets. Cant remember the year, but Steve Bull played, and it was 0-0 if memory serves me right.

My memory didnt serve me right then! I do remember there was a ticket ban for England fans, but tickets where easily available outside the ground. I also remember alot of English " infighting" in the centre, firms from different clubs bang at it, as the Jocks didnt want to know. Ive never managed to get to Hampden Park since.

It was my last visit too. Didn't see any of the infighting but there was certainly a few running battles with the Jocks. I'd imagine Forest & Derby went at it..... They were both well represented.

We fly out to Poznan on Friday afternoon, in an Ibis friday night, train to Wroclaw Saturday and staying on a riverboat in the centre of the city  then train back to Poznan Sunday staying in the Poznan Old Town hotel so no doubt bump in to Vinny and the rest. Fly back Monday afternoon

Not sure this is the right team to take on Ukraine, but we'll see...

• 1Pickford
• 2Walker
• 5Guéhi
• 6Maguire
• 3Chilwell
• 10Bellingham
• 4Rice
• 8Henderson
• 7Saka
• 9Kane
• 11Maddison

Classic counter attacking goal from Ukraine.

Allow England the ball, who slow it down and start to put everyone to sleep. Then bang.

What ever team we put out will piss it easy 3 nil win 

Ukraine playing well. Maddison and Saka getting no time - and the occasional niggly kick to slow them down, solid centre and quick on the counter.

For the goal Rice lost his man and realised it too late, Maguire was drawn to the ball leaving loads of space behind him in the centre of the goal.

Need to wake TF up.

That aged well Farny

Yes.

Well we needed to do something different and the last thing they - or we would have expected was Kyle Walker front and centre.
