Match Day Thread England v Czech Republic

Bit of a reality cheque for the Czechs tonight

 

I’m sure you meant reality Czech?

 

Do you know how many league games he's started? That for me would be the barometer for how much game time he's getting - I can't imagine its many

 

Gawd, we've got some great young players coming through. All the cash spent on St Georges might pay off, big style.

 

Germany actually visited it this week to check it out and get some coaching tips !!
Now you wouldn't have thought that 4 years ago.

 

Don't tell em, Pike...

 

Its brilliant to watch.
The so called golden generation must be kicking themselves that they could not club loyalties to one side and play like this team.

 

the czeck assessment of maguire as england's weak link obviously worked out well for them!

 

What a breath of fresh air watch England these days, just saw the highlights and was suitably impressed with the performance. Barkley made a difference coming on and really showed what he is capable of. Really good to see Sterling starting to hit the heights, and finding the net regularly.

In addition, seeing Scotland have lost made the feeling even better.

 

The future is definitely bright with the likes of Hudson-Odoi, Sancho, Foden, Rashford etc.. all very young with 10+ years ahead of them. Even Sterling is only 24.

 

I’ve always rated Stirling.

 

Only 5-0 Southgate out.
Kalas should have had a hat-trick.

 

I’ve been to St George’s and stayed over there a few times
I know there’s been a lot of money spent but it’s not particularly palatial from what I’ve seen (I might not have been in areas the first team use I suppose, but they haven’t been there while I have, but I was where the the Under 21’s and Women's team were because they were both there at the same time)
What it does seem to be, is literally everything is about football. You go past dozens of pitches, small and large, just to get to the hotel and there’s loads more wherever you look.
It’s also miles from any distractions
I imagine it’s a good place to go and concentrate on nothing but the game and the team
Certainly seems to be working anyway, great team and looks like genuine vision for how he wants the team to play
Good stuff

 

I'd like to see 2/3 of them go over to Bayern etc .
It's certainly done Sancho very well !!

 

Bring back cabbage patch pitches, cold showers and rock hard leather balls with laces, these young superstars wouldn't know what as hit em.
Nostalgia ain't what it used to be!

 

It finally seems different to any squad we've had before !!
No big egos with heads in the clouds ..
They finally look like they are just enjoying football like they should be !!
It's exactly how we all started playing when we were young for the enjoyment !!
I don't watch much football these days but this kind could definitely get me interested !!

 

Sancho plays for Dortmund.

 

It also seems to be used by foreign teams for their preseason, so the facilities must be good.

 

I know I was referring more to the Chelsea guy that Bayern offered lots for .
I was also reading there's quite a few that German clubs are looking at !!

 

There was a lot of criticisum when it was getting built about the cost !!
