[Football] Switzerland v England

[chucky1973]

You see what you want to see. I'm not writing off a player just because everyone says so.

I was just jesting about opinions, but we have ALWAYS had excellent centre backs for many decades. World class CB's, now we have 3rd rate at best and its a worrying trend, strikers, goalkeepers, now defenders.....

Eh? Joe Harts the best keeper we've had in AAAGES.

Why isn't it?

Because you dont go into a FIRST game in a qualifying group looking for a draw..

Agreed and a great keeper. He gets injured tonight, then what......

Who said they are looking for a draw? If it ends as a draw against the strongest side in the group, then that's a result.

Who says we are? Townsend? Didn't realise he was in the team meeting.

And surely that depends on the game? Playing the toughest team away first, a draw would be good enough.

Itv coverage so irritating. I think England doing really quite well but to listen to Adrian Chiles you would think we were lucky to not be losing

Fair point. Keepers plural we ain't looking great.

 

[um bongo molongo]

I couldn't work out why everyone was saying us qualifying is a done deal until I looked it up - since when was it 2 through plus a play off place for 3rd? And when did they expand the finals to 24 teams? And why?
