The England thread

[Rafael]

England should play Kane and Vardy upfront. Sit deep with two lines of 4 and counter attack with intensity on the wings, pretty similar to what Leicester is doing.

If anyone is interested England U21's are playing Switzerland on BTSport. 0-0 at the moment.

1-0 England! Akprom scores from a Grey cross. And a nice little dance from Akprom to celebrate it.

[MDK]

1-1, England hit on the break.

That minute's silence was more like 10 seconds, wasn't it?

[MDK]

Rose nearly scores with a delightfully looped header over Butland.

[Nerf]

England trying to press as a unit is depressing as fuck. It's just everyone sitting deep while Lallana, Hendo and Kane apply the pressure. It doesn't work without a proper system, Roy. You can't just go "right Klopp and Poch lads, you do you and let me worry about everyone else."

My interest in this match is almost entirely encapsulated by the hope that we might see a Shirley cameo off the bench later. I miss him so.

[Liam]

Onside all day long. Shame for Gomez.

[stokeriño]

Germans robbed of an onside goal...

[Gazz]

Welbeck's complete lack of defensive awareness is a major problem. Can has acres of room when Rose tucks in.

Add that to the list of contentious linesman's decisions in England/Germany matches over the years.

[Gazz]

I love goal kicks that actually go backwards. 

[MDK]

Typical cheating Krauts 

[Bobfoc]

Shame for Butland there.

[DavidMarrio]

Gutted for Butland I like him as a player. Hope we had him in goal at Liverpool. 

Heart-breaking for the lad. Hopefully he won't be out for long. 

[Gazz]

Matthaus looks like a member of Rammstein.

[Bobfoc]

And that's a wrap.

[MDK]

FFS I go out for a smoke and to play with the dog and I miss two goals.

[Gazz]

 

[MDK]

Beautiful.
