[Football] Switzerland v England

[Paris]

Good performance and result. The media crap regarding Hodgson has been tedious. The thinly veiled 'get arry in!' is so predictable

The Arsenal fans will be rubbing their hands in relation to Welbeck. His best years are ahead of him. United may well have made a ricket selling the local lad and replacing him with a mercenary like Falcao.

 

[Blackadder]

See we top the group. My, that is a weak group. I wonder how Scotland, Ireland and Poland feel, chasing Germany in their group?

 

[BensGrandad]

Result was better than the performance but that is what matters.

 

[Sheebo]

Good game, with plenty of opportunities and incisive play. When did England last play that well?

World Cup v Italy. 100%!

 

[Juan Albion]

Could have gone either way.

 

[easynow]

England are great when Roy stands up and pretends to give a toss.

 

[chucky1973]

better than i expected. showed some passion for once. well done England

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Our defence is still the biggest weakness, Baines isn't the player in an England shirt he is for Everton and Jones should be nowhere near the England team. Stones looked good though and I was very impressed with Delph.

Agree with that, apart from Felph's first 20 minutes when he could have been sent off.

Shame isn't it?

Really? I thought England had much better chances.

 

[Blackadder]

Shame isn't it?

Yep.

As Ian Wright mentioned, it gives us a great chance to this "new" England side right, without the fear of non-qualification.

I actually think that were we to replace England, the Albion would have an excellent chance of qualifying from this group. Switzerland would be a cut above, but I'd fancy us against Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania and San Marino.

Shit the bed, surely we'd at least get 3rd and make the Playoffs.

and then ....

Just got back to the hotel after the game. Thought we played ok but chose the wrong ball too much. Wellbeck has come on leaps and bounds and Rooney deserves credit for his part in the first goal. Milner sured up the midfiled when he came on. If we're gonna play 5 in midfield, he should play. Stones was alright but he is not a right back. Joe hart was solid.

Free travel to and from the game was good from the Swiss (wouldn't happen at wembley!). However, getting through the turnstiles was a nightmare and dangerous. Disgraceful really but fired up a lot of fans before kick off.

Great win and we're basically qualified now. Come on England!

Job done. Our players head to the beach and we let the usual mob FOUL it up.

He was born in Maidstone. Granted, he played for Ireland as he had an Irish Grandmother.

A draw would not be the end of the world.

Having seen him walk down Guildford High St just before the 1990 World cup in a full Ireland Tracksuit not only does it make him a sh1t pundit it makes him a full trackie

Who is the floppy haired, eighties throwback who stands next to the subs when they are about to go on?

Dave Watson ex Barnsley keeper from the 90's.

 

[Tarpon]

Rather annoying viewing with some loose change on:

Sterling anytime 15/4
Sterling 2+ anytime 33/1
Jones anytime 40/1

Dave Watson ex Barnsley keeper from the 90's.

And now the new Southampton goalkeeping coach.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Good performance and like the system played and the youthful look of the side. Hodgson takes way too much stick, he's about the right manager with the players we have available. Easy's right though, it's a ridiculously simple group.
