The 2014 WC was exactly like the Russia game. We played very well but lost. Obviously at some point you can't keep excusing that, but we really didn't play poorly. Under Hodgson we've had some excellent results, but they get ignored or brushed aside. We beat the World Champions. Yes it was only a friendly but lesser sides never seem to beat us in friendlies so we're obviously doing something right that Germany aren't. I agree he needs some tournament wins sooner rather than later. That key weakness is what's plagued every England manager for decades though. It's obviously not a Hodgson issue. He's played the youngsters like everyone wanted but as soon as they get a few games and stop being the hipster's choice people want them out again!
20 quid on 3 or more goals @2.38 is my bet for today, both teams bit dodgy at the back and like to attack.......0-0 then chaps,
Dean Saunders quote! " we've scored 11 goals in qualifications, bales scored 7 & set up the other 2 "
Curtis Woodhouse is confident, he's just announced that if England don't win, he'll give £1,500 to charity.
Decent post this. But I still dislike Hodgson. I also thought we played quite well against Russia, Hodgson can't finish the chances himself can he.
