We will be lucky to come away from this with zero injuries, fiesty for a friendly. Broken metatarsal incoming....
How have these tickets been dished out? Are they sold locally to Boro fans or are they for the England club members? If these are local Boro fans at their first game back it's really disappointing
We always seem to underestimate teams like this, Austria/Poland/Switzerland/Romania/Sweden - we always seem to struggle against, what I would class as the 'middle tier' countries. We never really seem to blow them away.
I don’t have a clue tbh but I know a couple of Sunderland lads who’re down there tonight, so it’s definitely not just ‘Boro.
Surprised how quiet it is if it's a first game back for the locals. Our 10k sounded amazing against Lincoln. If this match was up here it would be rocking. They have sang the anthem then gone to sleep.
One friendly away from a major tournament and the pundits are talking about our star ****ing striker dropping too deep to get on the ball. It's too late man, he should know where he needs to be, he isn't playing for Tottenham now. All this ****e should have been sorted out by the manager and coaches months ago. Same old ****e with England.
Left footed player scores playing on the left using his left foot. Will never catch on. Great touch from Lingaard says Lee Dixon. He isn't in the squad Lee. Settle yersel down man.
I think Southgate has said SF would be a failure in his latest interview so it sounds like **** or bust from him. I'm sure there is a job at the FA waiting for him whatever happens though.
Nee hendo at 70mins. Doesn't bode well imo. He can surely only get a max of 45mins on Sunday. Can't be anywhere near tournament ready.
Good chance for Calvert lewin, just hesitated a bit. I thought he should have shot earlier rather than crossed it.
