I would understand dropping Kane, not out of ability because I think he's total class, he just looked ****ed against Russia to me.

Exactly, he's obviously a good player, but he was ****e against Russia and we've another perfectly good option on the bench. I also think Vardy better suits today's game, Wales will be well up for this one and Vardy's far more likely to battle and cause them problems.
 
In the good old days coming up against a team with just one good player would have been less of a problem. He'd have been systematically targeted by half a dozen opponents and been reduced to the walking wounded.
 
Sterling has had an absolutely crap season, was next to useless in the game against the Ruskies; whatever happened to only selecting players in form! Don't get me wrong, he's a young kid who has shown fantastic potential, but we need someone to do a job today!

I trust Roy to get this seen through. He was good enough to beat the world champions.
he has a win of 60.38% which is comparable to Sir Alex only 59.61%

both are true, SAF only managed at club level. The argument could be made that it is harder to manage at an international level cos you have to manage a team made of the best players at your disposal against other managers.

That can help though. If Steve Bruce was England manager he wouldn't be able to sign any strikers.
