I'm pleased to see Shelvey in the side, a very underrated player in my opinion. Is Sterling 'injured' tonight?

 

[GoingUp]

Pretty sure I saw a Worthing flag.

 

[Bozza]

Is Sterling 'injured' tonight?

No, he's on the bench.

It's nice to see Withdean still in use.

 

[BensGrandad]

Very weak England side giving caps like confetti.

 

[SweatyMexican]

I have a soft spot for San Marino since playing with them on Football Manager, but I can't see them winning this somehow.

Safely past the first 8 seconds.

 

[Hyperion]

I am expecting us to scrape a 1-0 win against the mighty San Marino

 

[Superseagull]

Do they share the same groundsman as Blackpool FC? Pretty shocking for international level football in late summer.

 

[Stat Brother]

No, he's on the bench.

It's nice to see Withdean still in use.

I just looked at the TV and my first thought was:-

'I wonder how many of this team have played at Withdean?, the experience could be handy now.'

 

[Mowgli37]

As penalties go, that was VERY soft

 

[Dick Swiveller]

As penalties go, that was VERY soft

Not soft at all. It was a CLEAR handball. Nice to see Hoops promoted to International football.

 

[Mowgli37]

Well that's that, well done Wayne

 

[Dave the OAP]

That is the worst penalty decision since every single zaha ones!

 

[drew]

Gives a soft penalty but doesn't book the player for garroting Vardy!

 

[BensGrandad]

Was the penalty given for handball or for the push on a player between penalty spot and 18 yd line, not sure which England player went over. It will be highlighted at half time so we shall see then.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Brolli og 0-2

 

[Mowgli37]

Sign him up, great header

It was given in sympathy for Milner who the ref has worked out is utter utter SHITE and he needed to give us a goal to compensate
