I think it'd be great for England if a lot of our young players got some experience abroad, if only so that they can go to clubs where no one knows them and doesn't give a **** about their name, so their egos can be taken down a few notches and they realise they've got to work hard to be world class.
England - f*cking waste of time Can't remember the last really inspiring performance so I'd prefer to spend my valuable time doing something (anything) else!
A reliance on counter-attack is premised on some significant attack to counter. But 24 teams qualify. That bronze position is perchance adequate. What of glory?

TBH England should have scored twice through Jones and sterling.....but Hart has also made 2 very good saves..... good goal welbeck
