Nice header, that should be it now once the pressure has blown.

Super-Rush · 15-10-2013 8:41pm

Great cross and header.

Thoroughly deserved.

COYW · 15-10-2013 8:42pm

Get in there Rooney. Some cross from Baines.

Mars Bar · 15-10-2013 8:42pm

I loved that cross!

Stevecw · 15-10-2013 8:42pm

Great cross, stuck the header away well too

COYW · 15-10-2013 8:44pm

Sturridge would have scored that for Liverpool.

Fuhrer · 15-10-2013 8:44pm

There'll be a few more goals here anyway, England creating plenty of chances that Sturridge and Welbeck keep ****ing up. They;ll get one of them right eventually

Unfortunately for England, most of the chances seem to be falling to Welbeck.

He is absolute MUCK. I thought the same having watched the last England game. If he hadn't come through the United ranks, and being English, he'd be nowhere. Will be at Villa or the like in 2 years.

Super-Rush · 15-10-2013 8:46pm

That flew by.

COYW · 15-10-2013 8:46pm

Job well done so far. Keep it up. Get a goal early in the 2nd half and relax.

Paul Tergat · 15-10-2013 8:46pm

aaaaaaaaaaaand breathe

ctrl-alt-delete · 15-10-2013 8:48pm

Did Rooney open the wound again with the header? I didn't notice if he had that headband on at the start, he didn't for the goal, but does walking off.

klose · 15-10-2013 8:48pm

Baines should be easily englands firsh choice at lb ahead of cole.

mike65 · 15-10-2013 8:49pm

Baines is getting better by the minute! Cole will have his work cut out getting back in.

Super-Rush · 15-10-2013 8:55pm

Tbf one assist doesn't make him better than Cole.

Really?

Beefy78 · 15-10-2013 8:58pm

I'm a massive fan of Cole who is the one big name who has never let England down, but Baines gives us another dimension going forward.

That said, if we're playing Portugal tomorrow in a knock-out match I know which of the two I want marking Cristiano Ronaldo.

Have you actually been watching the match?

Err, yeah, really.

No one said one assist makes him better than Cole and you quoting a post that doesn't say it is frankly baffling to me.

So its coincidence that after the assist the poster said he should be in the team before Cole?

No, it's not. That doesn't mean the poster believes he's better than Cole based on that one single assist.

ThunbergsAreGo · 15-10-2013 9:06pm

England dont make it easy for themselves do they, need to finsih one of these chances

Fuhrer · 15-10-2013 9:06pm

Why doesnt Baines take the corners?

quarryman · 15-10-2013 9:11pm

Ah great. No I was just wondering because I started watching it and thought "This is a great game, I hope that guy Super-Rush from boards is watching this!"

Beefy78 · 15-10-2013 9:15pm

Smart save from Hart there

ctrl-alt-delete · 15-10-2013 9:15pm

Close, Harte lucky more than anything but he was quick off the line.

Good man. At least you can enjoy it without worrying now.

COYW · 15-10-2013 9:19pm

Poland starting to get back into the game. Badly needed that second goal after half time.

Super-Rush · 15-10-2013 9:26pm

Poor Carrick.

rob316 · 15-10-2013 9:41pm

What exactly is the purpose of wellbeck? A striker who doesn't score goals

COYW · 15-10-2013 9:43pm

Great goal. Gerrard. Brilliant.

Super-Rush · 15-10-2013 9:43pm

Well done England.

MagicMarker · 15-10-2013 9:46pm

Rooney MotM is kind of ridiculous tbh.

Beefy78 · 15-10-2013 9:48pm

FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME!

The_Kew_Tour · 15-10-2013 9:53pm

Well done lads

Paul Tergat · 15-10-2013 9:59pm

Get in England. Will enjoy next Summer now

rob316 · 15-10-2013 10:01pm

I always like to see the England team in the main tournaments. I just can't stand the media ****e that goes with it

blueser · 15-10-2013 10:03pm

Agreed. I'd have given to Gerrard; he controlled the midfield and took his goal well. Anyway; well done to the lads on qualifying. It'll make a MCFC-less summer a bit more interesting. At least until we get knocked out on penalties in the quarter final!

shamrock55 · 15-10-2013 10:05pm

Well done to england great goal by stevie to seal it,it will give me more of an interest now ireland are out but tbh i do think this england team will struggle a bit

Lovely Bloke · 15-10-2013 10:05pm

nice one!

No ''think'' about it. They will struggle. With a favourable group and a smattering of luck, they'll get to the knockout stages. However; the first decent team they'll meet, they'll go out.

COYW · 15-10-2013 10:09pm

Worry about the tournament next summer. Delighted with the result and for Roy in particular. Really like the man. Up the with Sir Bobby as football gents go.

Dozen Wicked Words · 15-10-2013 10:10pm

Delighted, only caught last 15 minutes but great to qualify for another World Cup. Surely the media will have some realism about what can be achieved though. The usual quarter final wouldn't be a bad result at all if they got that far. Did the panel say we are unseeded for group draw?

Rankings are out early next month, iirc. Looks like it will be pot 2 in the draw. Last 8 would be a good target and result with the current crop. Some really good teams in the tournament, Belgium stand out for me.

They said during the commentary that they think England might be in the second seeds group.

At least the Irish have something to mock next summer after all.

FYP-might as well get started early :P

Baines and Johnson bombing on should be quite exciting in the 4-2 defeat to Germany in the quarters.
