International Thread Part Trois

[Saint Helen]

Also worth noting that top two from the six groups qualify and the four best third place teams. In other words, failing to get out of the group stages would be one of the biggest screw ups in English football history

A bit like the rugby World Cup, you mean (ducks and runs)

Can we expect to see Ryan Bertrand tonight?

Japan won 2-0. Yoshida played and seems to have come through unscathed so he'll be ok for right back against Stoke.

The match is secondary this evening, but England line up as follows;

England Team: 1 Hart 2 Clyne 3 Gibbs 4 Dier 5 Cahill 6 Stones 7 Alli 8 Barkley 9 Kane 10 Rooney (c) 11 Sterling

 

[Paddy Podped]

Dier in midfield?

And what's the obsession with Alli?

He's quite promising we hear. Hodgson is trying to burn him out.

Why doesn't hodgson pick a back 4 and stick to it? How will the CB's learn each other's games?!

Morgan will treat this game like his personal train set.

If you can get English football fans to sing the French National Anthem we need a good alien invasion to unite the whole world!

It's quite staggering how much better Clyne is than Walker.

Gibbs, on the other hand...

Posted this on Koeman's but it's appropriate here too: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p038c3gs

Is not a patch on Bertrand. Ryan is quite simply the best English LB in the country at the moment. I would argue that he's probably better than a fully fit Shaw as well. I would also not argue if anyone suggested he was the best LB of any nationality playing in the PL.

Well that's what Ronald Koeman said the other day, so you (and I) are in good company!

Nice goal from Alli after that lightweight Schneiderlin was pushed out of the way.
