International Thread?

Whether Winks played against Germany or not - and I didn't watch the game - he's clearly a shoe-in for the England first XI.

I think we can all agree on that.

 

I’d have him in. He shouldn’t be too knackered either as a bit part player for Spurs.

 

That's the spirit, WWR!

I knew you'd look at this in an unbiased way and without the usual wummery.

 

The alternatives are Henderson and Livermore and I’d have you in the team over them.

 

Nice to see a Chelsea boy get man of the match, can see the lad being a future captain one day.

 

All credit to Crystal Palace for giving him game time.

 

They had to loan him out to make space for Drinkwater.

 

Credit to Chelsea it is then(for wasting another talent)

 

More importantly, NI are hanging in against the Swiss who will hopefully panic soon. Much better than the first leg.

 

Absolutely! Because he wouldn't get game time being he's not good enough yet but way good enough for England.

 

Unlucky NI, real battling performance and very nearly nicked it at the end !

 

Lost to one awful (corrupt?) refereeing decision.

 

Yep the pen decision in the 1st leg was an abomination.

 

Massive credit to Northern Ireland tonight, had the Swiss hanging on in the 2nd half.

They may not have the individuals of England and Wales, or even Scotland and Southern Ireland.

But in terms of team spirit everyone else could learn a lot.

 

Danny ****ing Drinkwater.

 

Lively start in the Italy v Sweden game. Italy probably should have had a pen there.

 

Italy on the brink of crashing out here.

 

And Sweden go through. No Italy in the 2018 World Cup finals

 

Good. ****s.

 

**** happens!
