Seems quite strange England playing at Wembley at 5 pm on a Sunday !!

 

Disappointing no stats n facts about Lithuania.

 

What I would like to know is, how has Sterling managed to play so many games. without somebody twatting the objectionable little ****?

 

Good player Defoe.

 

good finish.

 

Lithuania are currently ranked 107th in the world. They have a few players who have played in the UK, most notably Arvydas Novikovas, Saulius Mikoliunas and Deividas Cesnauskas who played for Hearts.

They are managed by Edgaras Jankauskas who, rather unsurprisingly, played for Hearts(he was later the assistant manager there) and played under Jose Mourinho at Porto.

Lithuania have two wins in their last 10 games, over minnows Malta and Estonia.

Striker and captain Fiodor Cernych has 5 goals in his last 7 games for his country, including a goal against Scotland in winter last year.
