Motd 2

Chances are he'll have to. We always get a load of injuries right before a tournament.

 

Obviously.

They're designed to see how the side is coping. Trying out tactics etc. He's not going to pick players who won't be going to the WC.

 

Roy has to pick a 30 man squad before the WC as well, bigger than a normal England squad. Usually you play all 30 in the buildup to a tournament.

 

You do realise players can go on a fantastic run of form between November and May don't you?

 

Hopefully Davies and/or Hudd gets a call up to the 30 man squad.

 

Looking at the current defence Davies should be in the 23...

 

I don't like Sunderland but that was a hell of a celebration for that Fletcher goal. Proper passionate support that.

 

Altidore runs like a spooked cow.

 

And the ****ing Swedes, dear me Sebastien!

 

Seb Larssen grabbing his face is just embarrassing.

 

God that was a soft goal.

 

Awful defending.

 

I know it sounds really tedious, but why were both teams wearing black shorts? If you had bad eyesight this match would have been really confusing...

 

As good as Borini's goal (and celebration) was, I am so annoyed that Sunderland won... really wanted them to be bereft of confidence before coming to the KC this coming Saturday.

 

Now thats how you celebrate a goal.

 

Great goal but again poorly defended from conceding the free kick. No one bothered to get back and defend it. Tiote was too busy doing daft African gestures at the ref.

 

Someone tell Poyet how to wear a pair of headphones.

 

Italians like to go mental when scoring, don't they?

Badge-kissing, and he's on loan

The Newcastle lad kissed his too.

Oh dear.

 

Why didn't they show the McShane penalty shout? It was one of the best chances of the game even ignoring the penalty appeal.
