Indeed, still had to be finished though... I'm pleased for him, getting booed is fucking ridiculous.

Good play by Richards too. Gary Neville would have never have gone round two players!
PRetty good so far as these friendlies go.

I saw that as well. I think Owen left out Wright as one of the top English scorers and he replied with something like 'Well I'm a brother'
Cue lots of nervous laughter.
Doh!
Here we go again!

Good old Jokey Robinson.
The germany manager is possibly the least football manager looking person ever. Well, to be a major football manager, at any rate.
Definitely time for RObert Green to get a chance.

This is quite a good friendly. Robinson and Owen look way off the pace unfortunately.
Quick betting tip: always lay England on a UK-dominated exchange, always. Patriotism means the odds on offer are invariably wrong.

Half-time
As per usual England are lacking sharpness in the final third. Robinson's having a mare, Owen had two good chances including an open goal. Smith has done alright, a lovely pass to Owen in the box. Lampard MIA since the goal. Carrick okay but a bit sloppy at times. Beckham poor- bring on Wright-Phillips. Richards and Shorey played well.

True. That said I only do it in the early group stages and for friendles. It'd be soul-destroying for the important matches.
But surely England are OK in the early groups etc, it's just the big quarter finals where we are certain to flake out?

Yeah, but divided loyalties and all that... it'd be vile watching the quarter-final of the WC and not being 100% into it. You've got to draw the line somewhere!
OK but are you saying that you bet on Paraguay and Trinidad to b eat us in the last world cup?
(I would have had some money on sweden to at least get a draw, of course, as we never ever beat them)

I'm a bit wary of turning this into a betting thread (the friendly's still quite interesting!) but yep, lay England on the exchanges - the odds will almost always be wrong - and then back them when the price corrects itself (ie when the casual viewer realises we're not as good as he/she thought), or as judgement dictates. Trading basically. More times than not you'll be up with this bunch of muppets. Dyer ffs!
Dyer FFS!!!

They fielded a real b-team in the Copa, and Brazil were Dyer until that shut-out in the final. Haven't seen enough of him to rate properly, but looks good in this league!
Fifteen minutes of good football from England, a lapse or two, and then a miserable second half. Par for the course really. God help us against Israel and Russia.
