The Football.....

[ianrauk]

Ooh heck, I'm feeling nervous about tonight's England game. Anybody else?

Quietly confident.. though don't know why.

Quietly confident.. though don't know why.

Maybe for the same reason we all got exactly the same score for the N Iron game....

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

This is all a bit too frantic. Townsend's looking like he's at home in international football

 

[ianrauk]

Looking like only a matter of time until England score. They are all over the Poles.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

It took an excellent cross from Baines on the other side to get the scoreboard turning.

Best I've seen England play for a while, they've got a real sense of purpose tonight. I was thinking Rooney hadn't done much, then he scores

Townsend is causing problems every time he runs at them. Really hope we don't sit back in the second half.

Scotland 1 Croatia 0 - HT

Have you got it live north of the border?

Have you got it live north of the border?

No, just on SKY

Now 2-0 tho

I went to the 3 pubs in the village to see if any of them had it on TV, 2 didn't and the one which did only had a small screen next to the pool table - and it looked like it was pool league night...so watching it on live text after giving up on the shonky AM radio reception at half time - my ears are still ringing.

We've spoken about bad kits before.
How about this one? La Hoya Lorca from Spains 2nd Division. The inspiration? Broccoli.

Here's better pic, inc. one of the Broccoli festooned homekit.

No worse than Chelsea's away kit in the 80s when sponsored by commodore .


Back to tonight's footy- loved Strachans response at the Scottish press conference

 

[Noodley]

If only we'd had a proper fecking manager from the outset!!!!

Ah, don't ITV have regional variations? England managed to get out of it 2 - 0 too.

phew!

I havn't watched England much recently, not only because of a lack of success but due to disillusionment with the celeb circus that surrounds it.
Is it just me or does this bunch of one or two golden oldies amongst the less storied youngsters have a hard working dynamism throughout the team that starts to make them resemble a half decent unit ?
Even if they won't make it far in the WC, I like the way these guys seem to be not shy of putting a shift in. Hodgson seems to have found a way to join up the dots and create quite an energetic English picture.
