The England thread

[Ant]

This is going to be a rout.

[brenchill]

I hope so.

[Ant]

For Brazil i should clarify.

[brenchill]

Yeah, I knew that.

[MJB]

And ITV have lost their feed. Excellent.

[Ant]

I'm sure Chiles was going to say Jon Bon Jovi instead of John Barnes.

[Ant]

I'm glad they have used the orange ball. I was worried i wouldn't see the normal white one with the snow and all.

I can't be the only England fan who's willing Brazil to score whenever they get the ball for the sake of some entertainment.

Oh, I'm with you. But not for the entertainment sake, I just want us to get battered constantly by everyone until the FA think enough is enough and try something to change the way our national team play football. The Germans did it, so why can't we?

This whole St. Georges Park thing doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. The idea of Trevor Brooking and Gareth Southgate heading it up is the stuff of comedy gold.

It actually appears to be yellow and pink with some black bits :/

They use it for the national championships too, it's pretty pointless.

[Lineker]

Obviously it's a beach ball.

[Thrilla]

That's twice the commentator has said that this resembles an exhibition game. He does understand that is what a friendly is, right?

[brenchill]

Good saves from Hart there.

We're looking toothless out there. This isn't even a particularly good Brazilian side is it?

[Rafael]

That's the best we have.

[Lineker]

Hart is playing out of his skin tonight.

Ashley Cole on for the injured Baines. 103 caps and this is his first as a substitute!

[Thrilla]

Its weird that there is one section of the crowd that all seemed to agree to wear blue shirts to the game.

[Rafael]

Oh man, that would be great.

[MJB]

Who's that we can hear screaming from the England bench? It's certainly not Woy or G.Nev.

[Rafael]

It's Hogdson.
