First England game I've looked forward to for a while this one with a few lads making their debuts. Expected England team: Joe Hart (Manchester City); Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Steven Caulker (Tottenham), Leighton Baines (Everton); Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Tom Cleverley (Manchester United), Leon Osman (Everton); Raheem Sterling (Liverpool), Danny Welbeck (Manchester United), Ashley Young (Manchester United). Interesting to see how this Sterling turns out as player, hoping he can be an English Nani type player and not end up as Aaron Lennon has done, i.e. staying at the same level and not progressing.
Good point about the keeper, probably one of the lads will get a run second half though. Congrats to Gerrard 100 caps
I really,really don't care. It badly pisses me off,that i dont care. But i just don't give a flying **** !
Not a bad game at all 1-1 England just equalized, Sterling finding his feet and playing a great pass in the build-up- Welbecks finish
There's something weird about watching an international football match in Sweden and all you can hear is English blokes singing '1-0 and you ****ed it up, 1-0 and you ****ed it up....'.
Some thoughts: - England have been poor defensively - England often look like conceding possession and their passing has been poor - England have very little going forward - Sweden have had 2 excellent chances to score again - Our players give the ball when they shouldn't, and retain it when they should be playing it to someone
Montenegro have gone ahead of us in our WC qualifying group. Mind you they were playing San Marino at home. So you expected it.
That's as much a consequence of our best chances against the Ukraine falling to the donkey known as Tom Cleverley, and of Woy setting us up like Fulham against ****ing POLAND, as it is of their win tonight.
We've actually been decent for the first fifteen minutes of the second half, but we're letting them back into it now.
Far too many sloppy passes and lazy play from promising positions- strikers not getting back onside etc.
Team a bit of a mess in the end- Ibrahimovic great goals and think Townsend harsh on Hart, beaten by a great strike
