Thought Trippier should have been our motm by a distance but we do love to overrate youngsters, don't we? Hummels was the best player on the pitch. Decent game but bringing on Rashford really seemed to stunt our goal threat. Big fan of his but he had a poor one tonight and isn't having a great season.

His defensive game is coming on a bomb. Maybe play him as sweeper?

And why doesn't Trippier take our corners?

A good draw against the world champions. Young manager, young squad, makes sense.

I hate to suggest that James Rodriguez picked up some bad habits at Los Ladrones, but then this happens...

I'd give James 9 out of 10 for that dive......

Rashford needs to move from the Theatre of Busses to a proper footballing side for the sake of his career. He wold do well under Poch.

The more clips I see from the Columbia/South Korea match, the worst it looks for James Rodriguez. Case in point, here he is getting bamboozled by Swansea midfielder Ki Sung-yeung...

Denmark v Ireland, a better cure for insomnia than trying to read 'Megarry's Law of Real Property'?

Could be.

How brilliant that both sets of our FB's played for their respective international teams. As did our third choice back up option.
Poch gives them enough time that they get the recognition by their country's coaches.

Don't fancy Norn Iron's chances.
Hope I'm proved wrong.

It can be done but it's probably going to take scoring 2 goals. Come on lads.

The weather looks about right. Let it rain.

Bollocks. So close at the end. ****ing Swiss. 500 years of peaceful democracy and all they can come up with is Granit Xhaka?

For those of you wondering, here is every player in the Croatia team playing against Greece this evening we have been linked with in the past five years
Marcelo Brozovic
Mario Mandzukic
Ivan Perisic
Domogoj Vida
Ante Rebic
Nikola Kalinic
Andrej Kramaric

It would be even more if Kovacic, Halilovic or Coric were in the squad.

Does every international game have to be 0-0?

When's the angry little Portuguese bloke going into international management? He'd love it.

What's the transfer budget for an international team again?

What's the transfer budget for an international team again?

Hold on, I'll ask Diego Costa, Miroslav Klose, Deco, etc.

I'm beginning to think they should play international friendlies in the summer and get 'em out the way......but then.....no peace for the wicked.....
