England XI vs Netherlands: Forster, Walker, Rose, Smalling, Stones, Drinkwater, Barkley, Milner, Lallana, Vardy, Sturridge.
I watched most of Euro 96 out in Tenerife, happy days! The 4-1 Holland game you had to get in "The Royal" around 9am for breakfast and then stay in the pub to ensure a seat. One of the lads who was with us got severe sunburn and blisters and had to report regularly to the local medical centre for injections and dressing changes. Unfortunately after knocking Spain out, his normal five minute ride to the clinic in the Spanish taxi, took a detour of epic proportions, out on the motorway, up and down, round the resort......I think the driver was annoyed with the pink English lobster who had knocked his team out. Cost him a fortune, and we of course were sympathetic on his return from "his spanish adventure"
No mention or mark of respect for the 41 victims killed & over 200 injured in the cowardly suicide attacks carried out by ISIS during the trophy presentation at a Football Stadium in Baghdad over the weekend. Poor form England.
Kinell - Barkley sets Milner up for a Carlos Alberto goal, and what does he do? Chips in a harmless cross instead. Such a lack of ambition. Nice move for the goal as I type, though. Very well worked.
This has been absolute ****. I got a bit excited when Vardy. I got a bit angry when I saw Roy's "Oh for **** sake, we might have to take him now" like reaction.
