Internationals March (Euro Qualifiers + Friendlies)

Sancho has a great feel for the game. You expect some self indulgence from young attackers, but few signs of that from him, plays what he sees, gives it simple when it is the right choice, good weight of pass. One criticism tonight would be that he has had a few poor first touches, not watched enough of him to know if that is usual for him?

Defensively England still look vulnerable, to win a tournament that will have to change. Great young talent coming through in attack, if they can sort out CB and find a passer in midfield they will be very well placed. Quite impressed by Hudson-Odoi in this cameo, very dynamic, a smoother version of Zaha in his running with the ball.
 
As bad as Czech Republic have been they've also been pretty unlucky too.

3 of the goals have involved big deflections.
 
There is just so much to be excited about for England fans right now.

A quality team with some genuine superstars in Kane and Sterling combined with a ton of exciting prospects coming through.

England have always had great players and should always walk the qualifiers, calm down pet.
 
Actually think Kosovo may come second in that England group.

Czech's decline has been very sad to watch. What a team they used to have.
 
I've mentioned him on here before but Farinaz in goals for Venezuela is potentially world class. He's one of the best shot stoppers I've seen. Very surprised he isn't in Europe yet, always impressive for club and country.

Yeah, he should leave that Chavista Republic Shithole asap.
 
Ukraine impressed me, didn't even know Shevchenko was their manager. Weird to see such a great striker make such a defensively solid team.

We still should have won, denied a clear penalty and their keeper was on fire. We never win the first qualifying game anyway so this is not so bad. Just need to make sure we beat Serbia.

Playing a midfield 3 of Moutinho, William and Ruben Neves is beyond stupid. So slow and unathletic it's painful.
 
Surely, the Sun will stop to attack Sterling with silly things because he is having a fantastic season.

Did CR7 play?
 
France and England are the clear favorites for the Euro 2020.
England has no midfield. against the top nations in these competitions you need a midfield. look who's playing there for the last 3 world cup winners. I think we'll be stronger in 2022.

When I use them on FIFA, I usually go with a combination of Bernardo Silva-Carvalho-Pizzi and it works so well. No idea what their ideal midfield is in reality though.

I think in games like today I'd have Bernardo Silva as part of the midfield too. Bruno Fernandes was injured so Pizzi should have started imo. Don't know why he subbed off Neves instead of William or why he put on João Mário when there were 5 minutes to go.

Serbia is a must win game now. feck going to the playoffs, can't be bothered with the stress of that again.

A genuinely bizarre vendetta that the general public, from my experience, has been entirely apathetic to. They need a bad-boy character, jumped on Sterling to fill that role and stubbornly refused to leave it behind.
 
Joe Cole schooling the rest of the pundits in this country.
