    Probably not or if they are it may be too late by then. I honestly think Kane is the weak link at the moment, absolute shadow of the player we’ve been use to seeing. Even my local Chinese take away owner told me… Kane must not play, he rubbish.. tooo slow… lol. Everyone has got an opinion!!!!

    I think Kane is carrying an injury. He's obviously not rubbish, we've all seen that. If so he should be dropped.

    It's a shame for him, these tournaments don't come around so often, but it is what it is.

    We need fit hungry players out there.

    See now he'll bag a hat and you can all call me **** <ok>

    Or as that well-known football pundit Robbie Robertson once said,

    :emoticon-0159-musicYou can't raise a Kane back up
    When he's in defeat :emoticon-0159-music

    Hasn't he just returned from injury? I wondered if he wasn't match fit? Maybe the only solution is to keep playing him, as we won't win the tournament without him?

    A lot of experts are predicting we will go three at the back tonight, with the two full backs now in midfield alongside two holding midfielders. Basically to stop their wingbacks playing. If Kane plays, just leaves two of Foden, Saka, Mount, Grealish, Rashford, Sterling, Sancho. That's going to upset a lot of supporters who thought even the current system didnt allow enough of our flair players in. I wish now we are in the knockouts, he looked at where we can hurt them rather than worry too much about the opposition. Having said that, its a squad game these days, I see nothing wrong with a cautious start but adapt as the game pans out.

    As a young lad in the early 70s hitch hiked around Europe got a lift in Germany with a truck driver went to the factory canteen as the buzzer went for the end of the break everyone got up in unison.
    Went to Mannheim they were filming Jeux sans Frontieres and managed to get back to the hotel where they contestants were staying , can’t remember much but the Belgian girl was nice!
    Happy days
    1-0 RogerHunt

    I’m a fan of Norman Foster’s architecture and the newly modelled Reichstag is a very good example


    It’ll be 0-0 at full time and we’ll lose 0-1 in extra time

    Got a free £5 bet on Betfred so put it on an England 2-1 win @ 9/1.

    Kane is working his way back to match sharpness and I suspect all the speculation over his future isn't helping .. but like all strikers just needs one to get off and running then he'll be back. Got to stick with him and give him the service he needs.

    I visited the Reichstag a few years ago; it's a good tour.

    One where the headset picks up where you are and plays the right piece of commentary at the right time. That always impresses me.


    I'm easily impressed though.


    I remember when spiralling round the glass domey bit the commentary said that Foster designed the additions to the building so that anyone can look down into the debating chamber of the Bundestag and see everything that is going on.

    Never again will German politics be conducted in a clandestine manner. We all know where that ended up.


    I love a bit of architecturally designed symbolism, me.

    I can see this as a 1-0 after extra time. The problem is I'm not sure on the winner.

    I said it yesterday, double 0-0, but was 10000000000000000% wrong!
    So today I really do fancy both games to be drab goalless or at the best low scoring.
    I’m at work at 8pm, been up since 10am, a bit wired for the England game, no alcohol tonight, I just hope we don’t disappoint as usual.
    I think Germany will go through overall, but I’m 10000000000000% behind England tonight.
    Time to get ready for work.<cheers>

    Cry Havoc and Release the 3 Lions of WAR!

    The past counts for nothing. Today we go forth and smash them. No quarter given, no respite, no prisoners.

    Today England expects every player to do his duty, to win and win big.

    This is the first step on the road to the final and it's time to make the rest of the teams quake in their boots!

    COME ON ENGLAND!
