Match Day Thread England v Wales

730 ITV

come on England

 

Massively watered down team, so might give it a miss.

Hope that Grealish and Calvert-Lewin go well though.

 

Only 54 caps amongst the whole team and Trippier's got almost half of them.

Free hit in a non-competitive game.


All the players can do is showcase themselves.

Could be a good game.

 

People talking about Pope getting a 'run out' when him and Henderson should be way ahead of Pickford anyway. Jordan must have mucky pictures of Gareth saved somewhere because that bastard would catch COVID and end up dropping it in his own net.

 

Worst rendition of the National Anthem ever.

Liz must be turning in her grave.

 

At least the silly sod finally dropped Pickford. I know it's a friendly, but still.

Hopefully, this international break is a bit more exciting than the last one.

 

They need to practise that like practising penalties etc. GSTQ.

 

That national anthem shows just how much a crowd adds. Usually, you can barely hear the players.

I mean, just look how good it can be...

 

Don’t know who half the team are.

 

Playing a back 5 in a friendly.

Wales have all the possession.

**** sake Gareth. This feels like Hodgson's England, where we'd play like ****e and scrape 1-0 penalty wins.

 

Don't know what it is, I just can't warm to Grealish at all! Him and lingard for some reason!

 

****e rendition of the national anthem because it's a ****e national anthem. Even our flag's a bit ****e when you think about it. A generic, boring crusader cross when we could be using the old Anglo-Saxon dragon banner used by Harold Godwinson at Hastings.

 

Finally, we did something!

Not surprised it involved Grealish and Calvert-Lewin either.

 

National anthem should be Jerusalem.

Or The National Anthem by Radiohead. I mean, it's in the name.

 

Pope already looks far more confidence inspiring than Pickford. Nice cross by Grealish with a good header from Calvert-Lewin.

 

I could've easily seen Pickford ****ing one of them up, in particular the clash with Moore.

 

I don't even like Jerusalem. Our patron saint is a Greco-Roman soldier who never set foot in England, instead of St. Edmund the Martyr, an Anglo-Saxon king. Our coat of arms/national team's badge are from a French dynasty and our flag is crap. I'm not even particularly patriotic. It just irks me.

 

Yeah, I’m not keen on Pickford. He seems to make too many basic errors. Pope also has better handling in the air.

 

That young Wing Back on the left looks a little nervous. Needs someone talking to him.

 

Grown into the game now we've scored.

Need the wingbacks to keep pushing.
