England cruised today behind a Raheem Sterling hat trick. The Czechs failed to turn up and England never looked like they were troubled defensively. Watching on the ESPN app on my TV has been terrible recently with herky-jerky video that makes it hard to watch. Maybe Gareth Southgate is the real deal. Will I be able to stomach a US Nats match? Probably not...friendlies bore me.
And we thought Karius and Mignolet were bad? Watch the hapless Courtois. https://mobile.twitter.com/hashtag/...o/iframe/twitter.min.html#1108821695731769344
England played quite well last night. Henderson, in the middle of the park, was genuinely good and looked real leader out there.
I thought Ecuador was bad v the US, but the Czech's were worse, and that was a qualifier??? Geez, and you Englanders mock our weak region...
I'm more than a little pissed that non of the 345 channels or so on TV have picked up any of the games this weekend. Other than some friendly concacaf that is. Blah.
Italy 2-0 Finland. woooott!! well sheshh better be, or else Italy should think of disband their national team. great goal by Nicolo Barella too, from outside the box. But the coach doesn't look happy, Lol. http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=3807411 I support them no matter what, even if they not qualify for a WCup ever again. But seriously, if they can't get out of this euro2020 qualifier group, they should seriously have a second look at the their national team. It not the most easy group like England group, but it not the hardest group, it average, so they better make it out. I hope they don't play Chiellinni too hard, I desperately need him for the CL helping Juventus.
Welp, Leroy Sane got a goal in for his Germany national team. If this Germany team going to get out of the qualifier, all thanks to him. Germany did get relegate from A team to B team from the Nations League. And crashing out of WC group stage. Their state of soccer is not good right now. Glad to see Sane help them out. And that midfielder Frankie de Jong is world class, eventhough at such young age, you can clearly see it from each of his performance, how much he help his team, including this match. Barcalone is so lucky to have him play for them in the league.
Italy look good against the Dutch. Gini pushed out wide and has the only SOT for the Dutch. Deserved 1-0 score for Italy who have has the majority of the play.
Denmark vs England 0-0. 75 minutes gone, and Trent is still on the pitch. FFS. edit he comes off in the 86th. at least no hint of injury and he will improve fitness I guess.
