England v Brazil - yawn (merged)

[Marxo]

The results of friendlies don't really mean much but this kind of performance won't do us any harm at all, well done England.

 

[Sussax]

Time to settle in, and watch Corrie now.

 

[Pavilionaire]

What that result does it give us some respect. I thought Stevie G was excellent.

 

[banjo]

What that result does is win Me a Tenner.

Me too first time I've enjoyed watching an England game for a while, a friendly played at a good tempo Wilshire brilliant Rooney looked a bit like his old self also good games from Gerrard , Walcott & Hart
"it's coming home it's coming , footballs coming home "

Don't want to get too carried away but have to agree there's a better feeling about England now. They've come a long way since the shite of 2010. I know some England 'fans' aren't happy unless their slagging the national team off, well it's the done thing isn't it. England are boring & the players have no passion. It's easy to be brain dead & say that but we're looking a lot fresher & the belief is back. I liked Hodgsons appointment from the start. This guys a professional & his message is getting through tongue players. There's plenty to be positive about. Just need to lose the stigma now.

Me of little faith backed the draw after really mulling over the win. D'oh!! It was a free fiver off Skybet so no big deal.

I only had a quid on it to keep me interested in watching the game.

Does Milner ever beat a player?As for tyldsley's awful Miranda joke

 

[Hamilton]

What that result does is raise our expectations!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

2-1 to Germany FT.

 

[Sussax]

Gail is suchhh a nob.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

It's got 2-0 to Germany written all over it though. Both goals in 2nd half.

Pretty close prediction eh?

 

[Simster]

Great to hear England played well. I have to say I have a huge amount of respect for Hodgson so I'm particularly pleased for him, and we clearly have one or two very promising and likable youngsters.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Not while Mr. Cahill is still getting a game.

 

[Sheebo]

COME ON ENGLAND!

I'm a believer

 

[Buzzer]

I watched the second half - the first England match I've watched in God knows how long. I surprised myself and enjoyed the game. We played pretty well and apart from Rooney who was just an angry waste of space we looked like a half decent team. I might try to go for watching a full game next time. To carry on Sheebo's theme, England-wise I've gone from atheist to agnostic. Great stuff.

Yep just like Brighton beating Newcastle & great performance against Arsenal then .......oh

First half was miles, miles better. Catch it if you can.

Think I'll pass, thanks. The ITV commentary was just horrible - and it certainly didn't look like it was HD either. Cheapskates.

 

[Common as Mook]

Just a shame we have the wrong manager in charge who will inevitably bottle it in the WC and pick the most conservative XI possible
