Don't f**k it, don't f**k it up, don't f**k it up, don't f**k it up, don't f**k it up...

Is McGuire injured?

Ah

Why do I have more interest in the Wales vs Poland game?

COME ON Poland and Jakub

Because it's proper competitive, intense football.

One side will be madly celebrating, one will be on the floor in tears at the end of the game

I hate to say it but I’m not sure about Dunk for England. He has a great relationship with the Brighton goalkeeper, defence and midfield, and obviously knows the RDZ system inside out now. To be suddenly transplanted into another side with different players and a different coach? I dunno. I’m nervous for him.

Don't f**k it, don't f**k it up, don't f**k it up, don't f**k it up, don't f**k it up...

I hope for more than this.

I want Lewis to show what he's about. Show his quality and experience and look like the England centre back we know he is.

Me too. Unless Wales go 3-0 up and it ceases to be a contest, I’ll be watching that game. But will probably have the England match on iPad to make occasional checks.

I don't think the England game even makes the iPad in our house, as my wife will want the Ireland game on that.

TV - Wales v Poland
iPad - Ireland v Switzerland

Probably record the England game, and watch some of it back if anything interesting happens.

 

[Mellotron]

Annoying that it’s on same time as Wales Poland.

 

[Mellotron]

Guessing he’ll get 65 mins then Brandthwaite on.

 

[jcdenton08]

As others, Wales vs Poland for me. Never watch England friendly matches.

Last 4 England friendlies;

Scotland (W 1-3) - Dunk 90 minutes (2nd highest ratings behind Bellingham)
Australia (W 1-0) - Dunk 90 minutes (and got MOTM, rightly)
Brazil (L 1-0) - Dunk on at 67 minutes (not the greatest, no worse than Maguire though arguably)
Belgium (?) - Dunk starts

I think he's very much in Southgate's plans for the summer as the Maguire back up, provided he doesn't shit the bed tonight. I suspect it's still Dunk as the Maguire back up, and Guehi as the Stones back up.

I like the post in the Brazil thread by someone claiming Dunks international career was over (from a half mistake) only to be prove wrong 3 days later (hopefully)!

Pls note there is a Taffs v Polak thread for those Englishman wanting to post on the England thread that they’re watching that

It is a bit annoying the 2 are on at the same time.

I said in another thread, a lot of England fans seem to have weirdly short memories.

After the Scotland and Australia games a lot of England fans were saying Dunk should be taking Maguire's place as a regular starter. That all seemed to have been forgotten even before the Brazil game.

If Dunk performs tonight, I think it's his place in the squad to lose.

Yeh I’d like to watch both. Will obvs watch England but is annoying. Don’t feel the need to pop on the Welsh thread to tell everyone I won’t be watching it though
