Austria all over England here, I know England fans think they’re full of talent but I think they’re weak in midfield.
Internationals June (Pre-Euro Friendlies + World Cup Qualifiers)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Every time I see Pickford I really want to see a feck up!
After 6 minutes…
He does more times than not.
Because those teams that played in the UEFA CL and Europa League are not yet available.
Netherlands Scotland 1-1, Netherlands are lucky Scotland are only playing in 2nd gear as its a friendly 
Think Wales and France will be a good watch. Benzema nearly scored after a great ball from Pogba
James going close for Wales too
James going close for Wales too
Start as you want to go on!
Wouldnt class a midfield three of Rice, Bellingham and Grealish as weak but Austria have made a decent start.
Judging by the squad selection I thought it was pretty much locked in to be a 3 at the back system but not playing it here seems to cloud that.
Is it just because we don’t have Stones and Maguire available or a sign it could be a (much more desirable) 4-2-3-1 set up instead?

And yet the past 5 minutes England have been by far the better team. I’d give it until a minimum of half time before making judgements personally.
Is Camavinga in the squad
Very inexperienced at National level I think it will be want costs England in the long run , maybe not tonight.
Grealish doing for England what he does for Villa...
Lingard with the hospital pass to Grealish trying to get him injured.
Is that not a red?
EDIT: had only seen in it slo mo. Watched it back in real time... Never mind

I watched the anthems and the cameraman went along the French line and I thought "this could be a long night"
Nope wasn't picked to go to the Euros
Today only Volland, so there's no excuse to leave him on the bench.
I’m not just talking about this game, whenever they face better quality opposition I think it will cost them.
Was on the bench for the U21s a couple of days ago when they went out against the Netherlands.
Be nice if the ref got a grip of some of these challenges flying in, it's a fecking friendly.
Edit. A yellow, good.

Jimmy Bullard forgetting it's a friendly.
God the Dutch look shit
he’s slipped a couple of the Austrian players a few quid by the looks of it
No such thing as a friendly when it’s England. Like Eurovision, everyone hates us
This is mostly our second team. We have some great fecking players. Wish we had a decent manager too. Sadly, this feeling is all too familiar.
Its what you get when you appoint the worst premier league manager ever as your national team manager...
Sod Sancho, Varane, Kane or Grealish. I want us to sign Bellingham asap.
Everything he does oozes quality.

There's only one way to gain experience and thats by playing.
It’s this Ajax love in the national team and other clubs have. Apart from Rijkard which Ajax ‘legend’ has done well of late?
Not including Cruyff of course from a different era
So do the bookies in Spain, France, Germany, etc.
Austria playing pretty aggressive for a friendly.
Grealish is getting kicked all over the park 
Grealish draws so many fouls.
Oh ffs I don't really care about the game but can the ref stop them hacking Grealish
They seem to be deliberately hacking down Grealish at every opportunity.
That portuguese ref reminds me Collina.
The keeper dived out of the way there but Kane hit it into him anyway.
Penalty for France and red for the Liverpool player.
