It's a sad inditement

[Dave the OAP]

...when the Miami Dolphins and St. Louis Saints fill Wembley more than England at the home of English football. Masses of empty seats tonight.

Says a lot about the state of English football and the rise of American football.

What do we expect from a ex palace as manager?

What is an Inditement ?

You mean indictment?

Anyhow yes as much as I love England I'm a Steeler and would rather watch US football. Shame as I support England at all sports preferably Rugby Union.

Football is dire.

65K on a Thursday night isn't bad, imo.

It's bloody shocking...this is our national side...it should be full every time!

After the South Africa shambles, I've never watched an England game with any real interest and certainly no passion. See them as a bunch of overpaid spoilt brats.

Brilliant someone at home slagging off fans not at a match

Why aren't you there then? Have you been to an England match at Wembley?

Too right...I haven't enough loyalty points to watch England.

The two best atmospheres I've seen live at Wembley in recent years were the friendly against Ghana when they gave them 20,000 tickets, and the qualifier against Poland - when they gave them 20,000 tickets. Both were electric.

Good that you're there though. You've done your bit.

I'm sorry but they're saying 50k on Radio5. 65k is bad but 50k pathetic. This is a national team with qualifying on the line tonight. England has a population of 50m+ yet Thursday night they should all be beering up? What's the country coming to?

Took my son to see the Dolphins years ago just as American football was catching on. The highlight for me and loads of other men there was without doubt the cheerleaders. Can't remember the score but I'll never forget them. Would certainly brighten up a dull nil nil affair.

Thanks. You're at home tonight moaning about empty seats at Wembley.

It was 65K on Twitter.

No one really cares about international football.

Which I guess proves the point you are making.
