I'll admit that I find England's result rather funny, but I fail to see the point in getting worked up about it. I have always thought of friendlies as an opportunity for experimentation above anything else. Hodgkin isn't daft and will have learned from last night.

That said, a draw for Scotland against an infant nation with no concept of the beautiful game is bordering on criminal. Strachan must go!

Oh I wouldn't knock Scotland for drawing, nor would I underestimate the USA team. They've put in some good solid results. Not many sparks of genius probably but a difficult team nonetheless.

I fully agree, my tongue was firmly in my cheek. If the US would end their daft obsession with rounders and fake rugby, they could create a formidable footballing force. They are sort of on the path now, so will stick my neck out and put them down for a World Cup victory in my lifetime.

Also, Hodgkins?! WTF autocorrect!

I agree. I am anticipating an experimental Italy facing a solid Nigeria. I'm also interested to see if any of Kilmarnock's Nigerian contingent get any time, despite not featuring for the stripes. There is much controversy around Reuben Gabriel in particular.

2 - 1 to Nigeria and it's not even half time!

Off to see some proper footy being played at the Greenhous meadow tonight (home of my beloved Shrewsbury town) as the England under 21's are in town to play the mighty San Marino. I think there could be a few goals for England!! Got my thermals on as it's rather :cold: out there
