    So for those keeping score, Gorbachev and Stalin's respective countries will be in the Euros, but Putin's won't

    Wales unlucky. Ben did us proud, but Daniel James misses the 5th penalty... Twat!

    Oh great, Poland's neanderthal fans are going to the Euros

    The Euros which take place in Germany

    What could possibly go wrong...?

    He is a 'flakey player'; at the best of times not the sort that you entrust the last penalty to!

    I've never rated him. As you say, 'flakey' and flatters to deceive. A few on here rate him I know, but pretty sure that if he didn't have United on his CV he would never have risen above a low to mid-Championship level career.

    He can run. Really, really fast.

    He's just a Welsh Timo Werner.

    Both rubbish, good comparison though as they’re both similar in ability

    Werner has 12 PL goals & James has 10 PL goals

    It seems the overall game was meh, but Maddison saved
    England with one of his typical needle-threading assists.

    What a waste of time these friendlies have been for England.
    An under strength team have had weaknesses exposed, especially defensively.
    Key players unavailable, endless substitutions and team selections which will bear no resemblance to the starting XI for first competitive game in June.
    These players don’t need extra games in their legs as most will have played a full season of 50+ games by the start of the season.
    The net result is probably that confidence has been dented a little by the results, the highlighting of defensive frailties and the reminder that the players aside from Kane, Bellingham, Saka, Foden and Rice (perhaps) are bang average.
    So was it worth it?

    Liechtenstein scored one of the fastest goals in the history of international football last night

    Well, when I say "scored"...

    Sunil Chhetri has announced his decision to retire from international football after his next game.
    India face Kuwait in a World Cup qualifier on June 6th.
    He's currently on 94 goals from 150 games for them, which is a very impressive record.

    Glad to see some new faces in the England squad - especially the Palace lads, who will bring some energy and dynamism, which most of those left out wouldn’t have done.

    Passing up Adam Wharton in January is already looking like an error, as he's in the provisional squad

    He’s looked like a lovely player for Palace. They’ll make bank on him in a few years you’d think.
