It is often hard to break down teams like that until they tire from all the running without the ball or their heads drop after conceding. 4-0 in Malta looks good compared to Albania 2 Liechtenstein 0 or France 0 Luxembourg 0.
England should easily win tonight if they remove Sterling from the squad and start Rashford. That's all that is required.

Switzerland are like England. Always seem to get to the World Cup Finals and then make no discernible impression whatsoever once there.

It happened to Mark Delaney away at Sunderland on Monday night and the ref that night?
David "fuckin'" Elleray.
I'm usually pretty defensive of referee's on here when contentious matters arise, but that decision against N.I. last night was amongst the worst I have ever seen. Handball has to be seen to be intentional and deliberate and if that joker last night cannot tell the difference then he has no right to officiate at a football match ever again at any level. He should be removed from all lists with immediate effect.

Anybody watching the England game? What a load of garbage.Rick Stein for me.
Since posting that, I've been thinking about what I said. I have actually seen one that was worse and it was given against the Villa. I think it was back in the late sixties early seventies at Villa Park but sadly I can't remember the opposition. I do remember the incident though, it happened down the Witton End, Fred Turnbull ended up sprawled on his back after a challenge with both his arms in a cruciform position, the ball squirmed loose and rolled over Turnbull's hand and the next thing we knew the dumb click of a referee was awarding a penalty. Cue stunned silence then mayhem. Any old 'uns throw any light on this?

Phil Neville shows in his first interview after being appointed England manager how unsuited he is to a role in the women's game by referring to the international players as girls.
I think it's up to the players whether they are offended by it but it seems harmless to me.

'Ladies' would have been better, but so long as he avoids 'birds', 'chicks' or 'wenches' he should be okay.
Scotland are dead to me. The only feasible reason for this appointment is that he's cheap.

I think we have good full backs, decent attacking options.
I think our problem is centre halves and defensive midfield, should e enough to get out of the group, but that’s it.

Is anyone else as confused as me about this new UEFA Nations League? What is all this 'Group B4', 'Group A1?
Nations League: Denmark in player dispute turmoil ahead of Wales game (http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45382474)
Explanation that I texted to our kid a while back...
Nations League is divided into four Leagues, each of which has four divisions.
League A, the best, has four divisions of 3 as does League B. League C has three divisions of 4 and one division of three. League D, the worst, has four divisions of 4.
At the end of the tournament the four division winners in League A go into the Final Four to determine the overall league champions.
Each team that finishes bottom of a division in Leagues A, B and C gets relegated. Each team that finishes top of a division in Leagues B, C and D gets promoted.
So far, relatively straightforward. Where it gets complicated is in allowing qualification to the European Championships. They will still have a normal qualifying stage, ten Groups of 5 or 6 teams.
Seeding will be based on Nations League finishes.Top seeds: division winners and runners-up plus best two third place from League A.
Second seeds: remaining two third place teams from League A and division winners and runners-up from League B.
Third seeds: third place teams in League B, division winners and two best runners-up from League C.
Fourth seeds: remaining runners-up and third place teams and fourth placed teams League C. Best group winner League D.
Fifth seeds: remaining group winners, runners-up and best three third placed teams League D
Sixth seeds: worst third place and all fourth place League D teams.
At the end of the qualifying then there are playoffs. They go to the best four teams from each Nations League not to have already qualified. They play in semis and a final with winners qualifying.
If there are not enough teams to get four qualifiers per League, because too many of the teams have qualified automatically, then they take the best teams not to have qualified OR made their own League's playoff section from the next League down (or even two Leagues down, if there aren't sufficient numbers).
Net result: it looks a lot easier for the big teams to qualify. Even if they fuck up the Nations League AND the actual qualifiers, they would still likely get a playoff place as it is unlikely that at least eight of the twelve League A teams wouldn't qualify automatically.
You also have the farcical situation that a team like the Faroes might qualify from League D.
So it's good for the big teams and the ultra-diddies. Teams that are worst-affected by the changes are the mid-ranking teams like Scotland. Oh bollocks.
Could also have the silly situation of teams losing on purpose when they have no hope of finishing top two in the qualifiers if it increases the chances of a team that finishes above them in The Nations League qualifying, as would boost their chances of being one of the four best remaining teams and getting a playoff place.
Basically I like the idea of the Nations League, it's certainly a lot better than friendlies. But the way it has been linked to qualifying is fucking stupid.
Managed to get 5/2 on Slovakia to beat Denmark by more than two tonight. You can't get evens for them to win by more than four now.Especially if you bare in mind that Danish 3rd division dross is akin to whatever is below the conference.
I'm pretty confident of this coming in with the Danes sending a combination of their futsal team and a bunch of Third/Fourth Division dross.
Only thing that will worry me is if I hear Damo has lumped on.

The Danish game was yesterday, that's probably why they've stopped accepting bets. 😉
Only won three-nil so I just about won my bet. I assume that the odds on Wales to beat them on Sunday will be prohibitive. You can't bet on it yet as the Welsh have a game against Ireland first.
The Danes have postponed their industrial action so Wales will face a full team. Thought it worth mentioning in case anyone was thinking of getting against them.

I would love to know Gareth Southgate's thoughts. Actually I think I already do. Whatever kind of friendly/showpiece game/testimonial hybrid this match is classed as I suspect things might be a bit awkward if Rooney scores a couple and is named MOTM.
Manager Gareth Southgate added: "I don't want to pin an exact time on when Wayne comes on because you don't know how the flow of the game will go.
"We will give him enough so that it is fitting but we also want to make sure we get the balance of looking at younger players and making sure our preparation for Sunday is another priority.
"It's important for all of us as a group that he gets a good send-off."

Because the midfield has been clueless and not giving any options. The Dutch are crap but all they have had to do is play a high line and compress the middle to which we have had no answer.

Good going forward, but id be embarrassed if a pub team defended the way England have.
Lets be honest, if Holland had been as good as average in front of goal they'd have got a hatful tonight. Im all for bringing it out from the back, but we've been caught 7 or 8 times which is pathetic.

A bit like Villa, always a propensity to shoot ourselves in the foot. That said I think Southgate got his selection badly wrong tonight. If Wijnaldum and Van Dijk were fit enough why weren't England's Madrid 7? Delph, Barkley and Rice in midfield was way too weak and inexperienced for a major semi final

I'd say it qualifies as one considering the teams that entered it. Admittedly more a League Cup semi than FA Cup but still a major one.

I’m not sure. A competition that was created to promote competitive football in place of meaningless friendlies in principle is a good idea. Are we shedding tears tonight? Are pubs full of people in England shirts wondering what might have been?

Last night seemed to take us back to the bad old days, bottle throwing in the streets and mollycoddling players because they played one game in almost four weeks. At the very least the Liverpool players would've walked onto the pitch feeling 10ft tall, chomping at the bit, and perhaps the Spurs players might've wanted to "get straight back on the bike" so to speak. The Dutch had no such issue although it was our own failings that did for us in the end. That midfield looked very weak, demonstrating our lack of depth but why we didn't try and blood new players is beyond me. The only people who think that this is a "major" tournament is Sky, due to the fact that they never cover one. Yes, it's a welcome step up from freindlies but nothing more and now we end up in another game that no one wants to play.
Last summer feels like a long, long way away.

Absolutely agree about the midfield Nev, England have no chance of winning trophies with that midfield. It is by far the weakest area of the England team.
How many times will they mention the "conditions" playing a part. They're not playing on the surface of the sun for ffs....it's 22 degrees!
At least England have go the hang of penalties.
Shilton said he waited to see which way the ball was going before diving. Which is why he rarely if ever save any, you'd have to be superman to react that quickly. Thick as shit.

What fucked me off more is why Shilton didn't catch the ball and taken Maradona out in the process. Because even a leaping Maradona would have been no more than 6ft off the ground. That said the winning goal was outrageous even if some of the England defending was borderline comical.I blamed Shilton then and have never changed my mind despite Argentinian's skulduggery. Shilton was too slow. I also blame Shilton for being out of position for Brehme's free kick in 1990. So that's two world cups he dropped :(
Yeah, Kodjia having a bit of a mare so far, completely missed his kick with another chance.

I see Eurosport have gone for the BBC tactic of choosing to show tedious games between teams that are certain to qualify rather than vital matches between teams aiming to get the best third place spots.
The twats.
Lingard normally puts in half decent performances for England so I can see why he's included. Barkley has been pretty rubbish since he's been at Chelsea.Yes half decent or anonymous and Berkeley is another of those players with potential and has never really done it, file with Walcott and many ,ore.
South Gate has lost the plot.
Kane is a blunt instrument.
That midfield is shit.

I genuinely think Grealish could do a job at international level. One player in the England side who gets a lot of stick who I would defend is Henderson. He does the Des Bremner/Kevin Richardson/Stilian Petrov donkey work/water carrier job that players often don't get enough credit for. If Liverpool ever wanted to throw him Villa's way I would welcome him with open arms.He was also very good at passing to the opposition last night.
Fully agree for the 3 Lions Jack would be like the artful dodger -expert at unlocking defences!-although i dont think Southgate rates him that much and thats a shame.Shame, he seems to have fallen for the same old crap previous England managers have in that reputation is everything.

Jesus! I'm glad you're not in charge of player recruitment!
In 1,000 years time philosophers will still be trying to work out how Jordan Henderson become captain of Liverpool.
Henderson fulfills a role for Liverpool which is about energy, covering gaps and moving the ball on to other players quickly.And the second he is no longer a Liverpool player, he will cease to be an England player. This scenario is repeated through the decades no matter who the manager is. Is this proof that the England squad is picked by committee?
His limitations are shown up when he plays for England.
Surprise, surprise. UEFA have shit the bed and given Bulgaria a poxy two game stadium ban, one of which is suspended. So their "punishment" is not being able to attend a game that none of them would have attended anyway, a meaningless end of group game against Czech Republic when they can't qualify anyway. The match could be vital for the Czechs, and their fans will be banned through no fault of their own. Meanwhile, Bulgaria, and their neo-Nazi followers, will still be allowed to enter and attend the playoffs and, potentially, pollute the finals.
UEFA don't care about racism.
