    Engerlands effort doesn't bode well for them in 2014. Individual players played well below their norm. Lampard sucked as did Baines just to mention 2 out of about 6 on the pitch who forgot to bring their game.
    Gleninho wasn't great but put a couple of nice balls in. (He'd like to go and see family in Brazil!) He never has a good game when Milner is on the pitch. They just don't do well together.

    Very pedestrian pair of teams conspire to go through the motions and get a 0-0 draw in Glasgow.

    Chile taught England, once again, how to use the ball with some brilliant and fantastic improvisation. And with a number of players from the second tier of English football :eek:

    We should buy Yarmalenko this winter before his price skyrockets at the WC...

    Sami Khedira tears his ACL/MCL in the pointless friendly against Italy. They are talking about him being fit for the WC, but there is just no way that is going to happen.

    Always thought he and Konoplianka were the outstanding performers for Ukraine.

    Our new coach is big on possession and fast passing. Lets see how it goes.

    I'd hopefully say on par. Our guys will be up for it, to impress the new coach, even though its a friendly. I'm calling a close win for us.

    Got to say that Team Toure were second best today even though they got the draw.

    Anyone catch Brazil honduras? Damn brazil are scary good at the moment.

    In other news allen pulled in a man of the match and got just under 90 minutes under his belt



    Says alot about how good our starting 11 is if he's on the bench even though finland aren't the greatest of sides

    But it has giant players who still failed to shove him off the ball. A terrific retriever of the ball.

    Mostar has a lot of time on his hands...

    Allen looked good. With he and Ramsey in the middle and Bale ahead of them, they'll be a pain for most teams to play against. They're just an in-their-prime Giggs and Bellamy away from being able to make a tournament...
