    England v Moldova (Wilshere and Walcott) - Game is going to be dull as ****, I suspect.

    Germany v Austria (Mertesacker and Ozil) - Live on BT Sport, and I might tune in, just to watch Ozil and also hope he does not get injured.

    Georgia v France (Kos,Giroud and Sagna)

    Czech Republic v Armenia (Rosicky)

    Macedonia v Wales (Ramsey)

    Malta v Denmark (Bendtner?)

    Finland v Spain (Cazorla and Monreal)

    Italy v Bulgaria (Viviano?)

    Poland v Montenegro (Chensey and Fab)

    But for me the game of the day has to be Serbia v Croatia. They bloody hate each other and there also some quality players on show.

    Can you even recall an exciting England game recently?

    It wasn't especially exciting but the Jocks game was fun. The Ox scoring against Brazil? In the Maracana?

    Gordon Bennett is that all? I generally find England a dull team to watch. Being an Arsenal fan you tend to have a higher expectation on quality football and England can't string a few passes together sometimes. Dreadful.

    I certainly can't remember the last quality football from England. The Jocks again in '96 maybe. In fact definitely '96 against Holland...

    That Croatia game? The one where Walcott scored that hat-trick.

    Beating Germany 5-1 must have been fun.

    Also quite enjoyed that friendly against Brazil, the one at Wembley. England for once were pretty decent, and Jack was superb.

    That was more down to a Walcott special, otherwise it was an average England performance (I could be biased....).

    Ramsey scored for Wales this afternoon in their game against Macedonia. It was from the penalty spot, and it means he has now scored four goals for club and country this season.

    Oh and it was Ramsey that won the penalty in the first place.

    You gotta love all the hope, hype, and dick sucking everybody's doing on Wilshere....What happened to Arsenal not doing enough for England, but now one of England's best future prospects whom so many are putting their hopes on, is a pure Arsenal product.

    Pretty good match for Arsenal fans. Wilshere and Walcott were quality. Not to mention the rags to riches Lambert story reinforced after a fantastic shot by Theo on the right wing. He's really making that position his own. Dribbles and runs into the box from the right wing and his crossing is improving.
