No mention of the Barkley pass , unbelievable

Kloppwombles the lot of them

 

[hibbos left peg]

Remember though, back in the day the Euros were only 8 teams.

i do and now there's 20, more group games, more money mate

It will do England the world of good to have a few years where there is little pressure on them to win any completion they qualify for.

Hodgson is giving away easy caps but he's also giving opportunities to a lot of young English lads with talent.

I doubt he can knit it all together but the building blocks will be in place for a competitive England team not crushed by wags or a laughable golden generation tag.

The last 5 should be fun then!

 

[ijjysmith]

Why are people arsed that they didn't mention Barkley's pass?

We all saw it and that's surely what matters.

I can absolutely see Norn shafting us in the euros with that Kilmarnock striker scoring, confusing Mikey, and you being happier than ever before.

Was thinking the exact same thing during the game. Decentish team, young, little baggage, zippo hype, (till the summer ffs).

Lets see

That England brass band should be put in front of a firing squad

Too quick that. Do my nut the bells.

I would want England to beat Northern Ireland.

The whole set up is a lot more likeable under Hodgson. Who they appoint after him will be a huge opportunity. They have a squad of players used to playing the best in the world week in week out. Now they realise they're nowhere near favourites then a strong manager with the right tactics could get them to a semis feasibly.

 

[ijjysmith]

Kane should be scoring there.

 

[sageyefc]

Kane, one season wonder

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

I bet the top 4 are happy they didn't spunk £35m on Kane this summer...

 

[Titus Bramble]

Barkley with a peach of an assist and the bells in the studio talk about Lallana being a game changer. Lol.

Doubt that. But yeah, it is fresher, less, er, contrived. Just young lads playing football it seems.
