Kane scores as I wrote that....

Ohh! My first ever 2,000 post thread!

 

Vaaaaaardyyyyy!!!!!!!!

THAT'S WHY HE SHOULD HAVE STARTED ROY! YOU TIT!

 

Brilliant goal - both England goals have been quality strikes.

 

How much betting Roy will start Rooney instead of Vardy or Kane when he's fit again?

2 - 3, have to admit this is the best I've seen England play for a long time.

 

It's going to happen isn't it? We're going to rate England going into a tournament again...

 

We have to learn that that is a sin.

 

I'm so shocked. That was actually enjoyable, and was like normal. Great play but losing.

To turn it around though!? Where's that come from!?
Fantastic all round.

 

Leicester and Spurs form carrying over to international duties.

 

Roy taking over and saying "Club form will get you an England Place"

Luckily, he's half kept to that. He's still picking big names who have played sh*t, but at least the players in form have carried us through.

I feel like I need to give Roy a lot of credit, but yet feel like I want to shake him still.

 

Yes, you just know Rooney will start, even though he's had a really bad season!!!!

 

Yep, Like Cahill, Henderson and Lallana starting, when they have all had pretty poor seasons.

 

Totally agree - easily the better side and deserved the win. All the Spuds players were good, especially Danny Rose.

 

I thought Henderson played well tonight although I'd have Barkley in to start preferably.

 

Yup, me too.

 

Another false dawn, or a real step forward?

Really enjoyed that, great team display. The likes of Rooney should be consigned to the history books. A new chapter is underway. These lads were really playing for each other.

Liked Clyne and Rose. Terrific forward play, twice as many shots as the Germans, terrific pressing. Nice, very nice.

 

Mrs FML must be home

 

Saw this on the BBC website and I like it!



England must aim high after beating Germany and target success in France this summer, says former England winger Chris Waddle.

"I'm fed up of us going to a tournament, like Brazil, saying it is a learning curve, the next one is a learning curve," said the BBC Radio 5 live pundit.

"What are we building for? Qatar? All these players going to the tournament are first-choice Premier League players. Let's try to win it.

"Do Germany go to a tournament and say it is a learning curve? Will France be saying it is a learning curve for the World Cup in Russia? No.

"None of these teams go to go out in the quarter-finals, pat themselves on the back and say well done."

 

Robbie Brady article in the Grauniad,

We REALLY need a free kick expert on the pitch. I guess Snoddy was pretty good at them and Redmond has scored from them occasionally, but mostly they're way off target.
