[Football] *** Some Foreigners versus England *** Official match thread

[Saunders]

Give us a chance, they only became a country after last years Eurovision. Really they should be part of Greece or twinned with that other noddy state called Scotland. I don’t think we should have to play these ‘countries’, waste of everyone’s time and fossil fuels.

OK but we have only managed draws before its a decent ground they play a passing game. Before we start behaving like pricks maybe realise this is our first win there.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

We really are a good side now with very good depth.

I think we are the second best team in Europe after France currently

Alli is the English Thomas Muller. He’s not the fastest, he’s not the strongest. He’s not the best finisher or dribbler. However he’s an end product machine.

42 Prem goals & 28 assists in 124 games is a pretty excellent record... and he doesn’t turn 23 for another 2 weeks!

He has delivered for England yet, but it seems harsh to write him off as not good enough.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

He does have an instinct to arrive late into the box

We've had a few down the years like that or perhaps it because they were shit.

FIFA should do something about this.

Stirling giving the Montenegro fans abuse for having big ears.

With Alli, I just think he’s living off that first season at Spurs still. He does have an instinct to arrive late into the box which is good and hard to teach, but if he’s not scoring I’m not sure what he really contributes. He’s very lightweight and certainly can’t boss a game. And even his scoring record is not that good recently, it’s something like 15 goals in his last 65 games. Not bad, but not amazing for someone who plays as the second most advanced player for a top four team.

22 years old.

 

[Saunders]

Has been very enjoyable watching with you peeps

Disgusting racial abuse.

Throw these tinpot sides out of Europe who are bigoted w@nkers.

Ooooh! Anyway, they’re a noddy side and we are expected to win comfortably. As we did. Had we lost or only drawn we should be mocked and rightly so. But we didn’t. We won comfortably as a top footballing power should so if we’re becoming one again then this result shouldn’t come as a surprise. Especially after we hammered Czech a few days ago. Good result, role on that other Balkan superpower...Kosovo.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

23 in a couple of weeks which isn’t really that young for a PL footballer. There are players in this England team at 18.

It’s not his record I’m arguing with, it’s the way he seems to have been going backwards for a while. Anyway, this isn’t really a problem because we are not short of quality attacking players.

He appears to bottle every challenge. It's like watching Wendy Wilkins, good skill, will always score good goals but is very much a luxury.

Rubbish, Alli doesn’t bottle challenges.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Only because England are now so good they are a serious contender to win the next two or three tournaments. The bar has been raised.

It's easily the best team since Bobby Robson's, exciting isn't it?

 

[Durlston]

The future's bright, the future's ours. Can we win Euro 2020? You betcha!

These politicians should take note that they're a disgrace and don't deserve a penny they earn. Weak cowards.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

He does.

 

[banjo]

Never thought I’d get excited about watching England again. Looking promising though.

 

[Algernon]

Alli is the English Thomas Muller.

I.e. Possesses a face you'd gladly punch?
