England

[Hamzah]

Good game

 

[hardyboy]

yup best game of the night..

 

[Dan1983]

That is how a friendly should be played.

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

Hamzah you do know that I have scottish blood in me. My Dad's mother was born and raised in Scotland. Her parents and grandparents and great grandparents were scottish.

Could you please go through your plethora of nationalities for me again Ed, it is difficult to keep up mate!

 

[Hamzah]

This isn't aimed at Ed but it's a trend to say you have Scottish/Irish blood in you.

Scottish
Greek
Cypriot
Guyanese
Nepalese
Indian

I suppose as my Dad and I were born in England then I'll have to say English....

Although when ever anyone asks I'll say British instead of English.



However this isn't the thread for this hahaha going way off course.

Even those Scotland lost - they still have the moral victory as they proved as shite England really are!!

 

[AnfieldEd]

What an uninspiring appointment Southgate is!!

 

[Jenks]

True, but then I don't think there were any standout candidates. A lot of people talk about Meulensteen, but U21 managers don't really do much actual teaching. They have the lads for half a week and basically just drill the way they want to play into them and get the tactics sorted. He'd be wasted in that position I think. I'd like to see the FA go after him in some sort of coach education role.

Been a long time since we've had such a strong midfield at this level, especially when you consider that Barkley, Morrison & McEachran are missing.

Leighton Baines (Everton)

Surprise call-ups for Barkley, Townsend and Sterling. Feel a bit premature, but given the state England are in at the moment we can't be too choosy.

 

[Blancone]

England could really do with a Michael Carrick type player in the middle.......oh wait

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

Boy oh boy do England suck.
