    Anyone know who's doing commentary? Me watching is very dependent on it with it being ITV.

    Can't be any worse than Martin "I'm just going to state the fucking obvious" Keown.

    Still don't get why Sterling moving is any different to another player moving teams, except it was from Liverpool which butthurt every pundit who used to play there

    Just watching the goals from the Holland game in 96. I forgot how good the 2nd and 3rd goals were.

    Can't stand that word.

    Agree Hudson, I don't get it either. He's not had a great season, but it was a pretty decent step up. It seemed like he didn't get on all that well with Rodgers, and while I don't think Pellegrini is the best manager in the world, I'm sure he'll get bigger offers than Celtic this summer.

    It was always going to be difficult for him going from a team who played on the counter to City, where their game plan seemed to be to try and break things down with careful possession. I think Sterling's style of pressing and countering suits England far better. Remember how good he was for Liverpool three years ago when they played a similar game. He's decent in a tackle, and his versatility means he can play as a #10 or out wide. The nice thing about having him or Rooney at the top of the diamond is that both can run beyond the two center forwards, which can be key in that formation.

    I like the team. I think it gives Roy the option to switch between 4-4-2 diamond and a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1. Think that can be crucial within a tournament, where due to the lack of preparation usually means teams are limited to one, maybe two formations overall. This is one of the reasons why Roy selects players who have played in qualification, he's known for working very hard on tactical positioning and shape.

    What a disgusting thing to say, to wish another human a leg break. What fucking cretin you are.
    My pleasure.

    Hoping Wilshere proves once again he is made of biscuits before the squad is finalised.

    Goal!

    Excellent turn out from all those northern fans that moan about matches only being held at Wembley. Filled the place right up ain't they.

    Hopefully not on ITV. Their coverage makes me want to beat my TV with a rancid haddock.

    Rancid haddocks at the ready!
    Just realised rushed out the house to procure a rancid haddock and slipped over. Now I have a leg like an angry fetid blowfish.

    Imagine him and Matt Dawson in a room. The levels of cringe would be off the scale.

    Why does Hodgson always look like he has a toothache?

    Rose done by a straight pass on his inside. No right foot?

    England have got a good attack but defensively are not that solid. England more entertaining to watch than usual, but better teams than Turkey will exploit the defensive weakness.

    Best bit so far, apart from the goal, been the booing of the turkish national anthem

    Why? Bit harsh beds to say the least.
    I little harsh I suppose . Just an sprain that lasts a couple of months then .
    That's more like it. I really rate him. He is a decent bloke as well - after a home game against Montenegro he signed one of my boys shirt, programme, posed for a picture and spoke to him for 5 mins. My boy pointed out he would never be a good as Johnnie Jackson.
    No one on here will believe that Wilshere did that for your boy ricky. How on earth could an Arsenal player be so accommodating. You must be mistaken mate, must have been an imposter!!!

    Haha, I have no doubt had he been on Arsenal duty it would have been a different matter. He was a really down to earth bloke. I was quite surprised in all honesty.
