England Vs Poland - Match Thread

[Dave S]

we are a QF team at best and that is with luck. The press should actually start to acknowledge this and relieve some of the pressure on the team next year.

Unfortunately the press wont and again they will build them up should we come through this game

We'll be the first team home from the finals. We're crap!

Easy to say now we've won but that was one of the most entertaining international matches I think I've seen in a long long time.

First England game I've enjoyed in ages.
Well deserved and congrats to Roy Hodgson.

how did townsend not get mom

I'd have gone for Gerrard myself. Thought he controlled the midfield. Anyway; a big well done to Roy and the lads. At least it'll make a City-less summer more interesting.

How many think Hodgson is a shit manager now ? 1 defeat in 24 now and been constant slagging off. Finally he and the players will get the credit they fully deserve

Woy is pants. But I`ll give you 10/10 for patriotism.

Footballers should never ever pass with the outside of the foot.

??????????????

From Xavi, to Schweinsteiger, to Fabregas, to Yaya, to Sturridge five minutes ago; I've see all of them give the ball away stupidly this season by silly flick passes with the outside of their foot...it's really poor play and should never be used. It's the same as passing one handed off the dribble in basketball or trying to spin the ball with a short pass in rugby.

Haha why not just ban passing altogether? Countless times I've seen top players giving the ball away by passing with the inside of their boot or with their laces. Passing seems such a risky manoeuvre at the best of times, I'd get rid of it altogether.

Take this for example. This kind of things needs to be banned altogether.

Getting more optimistic about England now, I quite like the idea of 2018 and:

Hart

RB(Richards, Walker, Clyne, Lowton)
Jones
Cahill
Shaw

Rodwell
Barkley
Wilshere

Townsend
Morrison
Sturridge.

though of course it would be a squad filled with the Walcott's, Wooney's and Welbeck's of this world.
