It was not a dig mate. I know you're a proud Englishman, it was not ment to offend. Pride probably wrong choice of word, maybe honour is the word I'm looking for. What I'm trying to say is that it's not what I associate with England and not what I fell in love with as a young Norwegian kid. I'm embarrased on behalf of Rooney, Wilshere and Cahill tonight. Don't get me wrong, you're not alone as it's a disease that's plagueing the modern football and the likes of Germany and others are equally bad.
That's how to take a penalty! Norway. .... I really don't think England have been diving. Wilshire was trying to avoid a terribly timed challenge in the box and I don't recall Rooney or cahil diving.
We look better with sterling in behind. I'd play him behind Rooney. Sturridge doesn't score enough and is too selfish.
Likely quite a few corporate absentees in that number - after kick off they should open up those seats to kids for free. Commentators earlier mentioned that this is the lowest England home international attendance since new Wembley opened and also the lowest since 1998.
O For a meaningless friendly against poor opposition and following a terrible WC I don't think 40k is too bad. Should have played it elsewhere.
