Looking forward to seeing Nani and perhaps a cameo from Rashford tonight. Guess it’ll be more or less Hodgson’s ideal XI, interesting to see.

Hoping Barkley gets a start tonight to make one last claim for starting place in the tournament.

Pretty much expected, the strongest XI from Roy’s point of view.
I think that's the starting team when everyone is available. I expect that side to start next week.

I'm shocked every time I see Carvalho's name in a Portugal line-up. He's about 50 in my mind.
Milner - creating space for the opposition, superb.
The team looks quite unbalanced to me.
Same. And that defence in general, 33.5yrs avg.
Rooney and Milner out of position. Roy couldn't resist to drop one of his favourites. Looks like England will have the same problem they usually do in forcing certain players in the starting line up leaving us unbalanced.
I hope for once it actually works though as I'd love to get excited about England in a tournament. Don't think I have since 04.

Dier & Milner have a quite defending role, Rooney box-to-box and Alli a bit more attacking, or the other way round. I’d say it’s quite balanced actually. Rooney is a midfielder these days, so he’s playing the position he’s played for United this spring.
Well Rooney and Milner will both play in their positions
Milner CM and Rooney CM / AM.I really wouldn't say Rooney and Milner are playing "out of position".
Good luck Smalling and Rooney.
You couldn't flush Milner even if you attached your bog to a Monsoon.
I'd say he'll make more of a claim if he doesn't set foot off the bench. Bang average player.
No Andre Gomes.
Looking forward to seeing Rafa Silva and Joao Mario.One of Lallana or Wilshere needs to replace milner.
Carvalho vs Vardy
What formation are England playing?
Milner is not really a centre midfielder and plays much better on the wing. Rooney has had a handful of games in Centre midfield and according to most on here he he's not very good in that position.
To me Milner was better on the wing while he was still at City, these days he’s better suited to the middle. To some extent I agree that Rooney’s shoehorned into the side. Then again we all knew that’d happen. I’m sure he’s got more to offer in midfield than further forward.
So apart from Wilshere it looks like England's first choice.
I really wanted to watch this. Unfortunately working till 10 pm. Was curious to see us without Ronaldo against a top opponent.
That mascot is bigger than Milner.
Was just going to say Milner's 'little boy ' is almost as big as he isThat mascot is bigger than Milner.
Mourinho in the stands.
Looking forward to seeing Nani play, I miss him
Cheers fella!
Mourinho is there. He is scouting someone i hope or maybe watching rooney.
Mourinho looked slightly awkward.
Rafa silva/mario/ moutinho the three players i think mou will be looking at. Maybe even danilo? I hope we can see andre gomes.
I thought I was the only person on the caf who cared about that match. what a performance by Sardar Azmoun though.. the kid is gonna be a star.anybody here from Macedonia?
I've always been a fan of Carvalho, even when he used to be in Blackadder.
I'm not anti England. Even with Hodgsaurus i consider England a top national team. I hope it's a good match but with Santos defensive stance i doubt it.
Looks like Rooney is playing further forward than Ali. Has Ali got much experience playing deeper?
Not much no. Used a few times earlier in the season.
