Shocking how they are 6th favourites with the bookies.

Given that they have have never won a major international tournament it is quite appropriate.

For anyone who wants to watch Holland play Wales its on S4C and BBC2 Wales.

Is BBC2 Wales in Welsh as well?

Such an annoying language to listen to with the random English words thrown in :eek:

IanOBo

Yeah I got it on there, cheers.

Netherlands v Wales on the telly and Italy v Luxembourg on the laptop, sorted :cool:

It'll never happen, but does anyone think England may be better served dropping Rooney? It might allow them to play with more balance and take advantage of being able to start their more in-form, fitter players.

eh i dunno

I'd drop him myself. Not the same player these days and never lived up to the hype or promise he showed as a youngster

Paully D

The England team sheet tonight also contained their passport numbers, strange one.

If they any world class players coming through it would be a easy decision but they don't so they will stock with him. I still can't believe Utd gave him 300,000 a week. Crazy.

Was excellent first half of season just unfit at the minute

For me there best chance of doing well involves Rooney playing well

Smithwicks Man

Balotelli's playing very well so far, Luxembourg look poor

Johner

Bright start from England.

Johner

Lambert linking up nicely.

Ecuador don't look any great shakes but England on the front foot.

As soon as I post that Ecuador score!

Professional Griefer

hahahaha

Johner

Super cross and header.

Not great from Shaw.

Liamalone

Ha ha Smalling is rubbish

Andersonisgod

I wouldn't rate Smalling or Jones particularly highly, especially as a centre back pairing. Personally I never understood the hype surrounding that partnership.

Rayne Wooney

Woeful anticipation from Smalling there

Dozen Wicked Words

It's the England second string defence so the wake up call will hopefully do them good.

Johner

Lovely from Barkley.

GLaDOS

Lovely cheeky backheel to let Rooney in there, poor enough effort from him though.

Paully D

Someone in here tried to say during the last game that he should be first choice lol

Professional Griefer

Neither of those cms should be starting at the WC.

Johner

Milner also playing shite. Won't be seeing him at RB again.

brevity

Lovely ball.

Mrs Smalling the username?

Decent game so far, end to end.

Johner

Barkley and Oxlade-Chamberlain have stood out so far.

Ulysses Gaze

Forget about Wilshere being the great hope for English football.

Barkley is miles ahead of him.

Bit odd that someone like Curtis Davies didn't make the squad given the season he had for Hull instead of Smalling.
The only positive is he offers cover at right back.

The same Barkley who has butched 3 great opportunities?

Barkley, Ox and Sterling will be a breath of fresh air for England at the tournament.
Their freshness and attacking enthusiasm could have a similar impact to Germany bringing in Ozil & Muller before the last World Cup.

Professional Griefer

Some miss by Lambert, glad we have Rooney instead. :cool:

GLaDOS

Thought that wasn't going in :pac:

Should have been a free out for handball I think though.

Hank Scorpio

great play by the ox

Shaw will be a weak link, still think they should have took cole.

Probably should have, but I doubt Shaw will play much, if at all, with Baines starting every game anyway.

"Hint of offside and a handball"

By hint ITV mean 'definite' right?

Johner

Awful stuff from this England defence.

Neeson

Is there an official app for the World Cup?

After the under 21 tournament they were hyped to the moon, especially after it became clear that they would also be playing for the same club. Any time they play together at the heart of the Man Utd defence you will almost inevitably hear the commentator say "you may be looking at the long term defensive partnership for Man Utd and England." On the evidence of tonight, and any other time they have played at centre back, I think it's safe to say that wont be the case.

Still done more than Wilshere has.
