March 23, 201510 yr We could be sat here in 10 years bemoaning the lack of English left backs and yearning for the days that the likes of Bertrand couldn't even make the squad. If it's a case of keeping Stones and Chambers in the Under-21s then fair enough though. We don't exactly need to exert ourselves in these games.
March 27, 201510 yr Predictions for tonight then? I'm going for a solid 3-0, but all the goals in the second half. We normally flatter to decieve in these games and Lithuania are no mugs.
March 27, 201510 yr The rate he's going, Harry Kane could stand for Prime Minister and win :lol: Joking aside, its hard to find anybody who dislikes him so fair play to him.
March 28, 201510 yr Danny Welbeck is the Ed Miliband of football. Now top scorer in European qualifying with 6 in 5.
March 28, 201510 yr I do like Kane, but I find the media's pushing of him as the saviour of English football a bit off-putting. He's a good player though, and suited to the way Hodgson sets his teams up. Welbz and Sterling were great last night. However, it was no real test.
March 28, 201510 yr I was only half-watching the match last night but, it's the first I've heard of Harry Kane and he looks seriously impressive. Although I hope the media storm that's going to follow him now doesn't get to his head. Obviously we're having a very easy ride and we'll have to be ready for that, despite the easiness of our group it's somewhat hard to believe it's only us, Slovakia, Israel and Czech Republic still with a 100% record. :lol:
March 28, 201510 yr Quite, not teams you'd expect! We're also highest scoring team in Euro Qualifying. All sounds impressive at this stage of course...

March 28, 201510 yr Wow Wales looking very good to qualify now then! Who's up for England Vs Slovakia friendly then?
March 29, 201510 yr I remember Wales started really strongly in Euro 2004 qualifying - top after half the games and even beat Italy 2-1. However, they lost twice to Serbia-Montenegro, lost 4-0 in Milan to finish second and lost narrowly in the play-offs to an average Russian team. I'd preach caution. Great to see them doing well though
March 29, 201510 yr But now with 24 teams taking part in the main competition they have a much better chance.
March 29, 201510 yr And their star player actually cares about Wales as well. I think they'll qualify, this is their best team in donkeys.
March 29, 201510 yr And their star player actually cares about Wales as well. Are you talking about Giggs? He didn't play friendlies, but played all the qualifiers as captain didn't he? I think Bale does lift Wales up a level though, a fantastic player for them.
March 29, 201510 yr Gibraltar's first competitive international goal! Against Scotland! :D (but fair play to the Scots, they're also doing fairly well this time, think we're going to have quite a few Home Nations in the competition)
March 29, 201510 yr Wales look likely to qualify and may even finish top if Belgium don't get their skates on. England are obviously through. After that I'd probably give the best chance to Northern Ireland, given that ROI and Scotland are both suffering from how well Poland are doing and chances are that only one of them will make the playoffs. Either will fancy their chances over two legs against pretty much anyone, though.
