I don't usually bother with England games but thought I'd see what we have for the World Cup ...
... sorry but this is really boring.

Me neither normally, unless it's an important qualifier. Thought this would be an intriguing watch though as Uruguay are a tough nut to crack.
Who knew you can count your teeth with your tongue
Also looking at menus for places in Keswick,
Although I know most of the places
Can you tell I’m bored??
Watching England is a Fcken chore

I thought that. "He can't be still going.....can he " went through my mind.
England friendlies have been ****e for years. Both sides have had a man each go off injured. No chance this will liven up, they will be terrified of getting injured.
Watching England last night, well watching England in general. I never get why we get put down as favs to win the World Cup.
Its was a turgid affair.
We will get to the UnUnited states, struggle to get out of the group and get knocked out rather early.
Too many times you can see players either sticking with their club mates or do it all on their own.

It’s because we have been making finals and semi finals regularly. There’s no standout international teams and we are as good as anybody else on our day.
I’m not sure why anybody expected a thrilling performance last night. It was a friendly game with largely our second team and lots of substitutes. It was a preparation game for the World Cup and it showed.
