Come to think of it. I never wear a hat. Enjoy the game though even if you are a neutral.

[Mick Mac]

Enjoyed the first half and thought England the better team and up for it. Germany goal seemed to even things out and I went back inside to the warmth and the goodies inside. Shame that England couldn't keep it up.

^^^^delusional^^^^

ingerland were shite headless bantams.

Germany didnt break sweat, england were shattered after futile running about mindlessly for the first half- they will be taken to the cleaners when they meet a professional outfit after the group stage in the WC.

[Mick Mac]

You're right Woodrot. I'm delusional about England's prospects.

Spot on.

[woodrot]

if the WC was decicded on excess, lurking around nighclubs,nasty tats, vulgar cars, shocking taste in Music & bad haircuts, then England deserve the trophy. Those bastards at FIFA have decided it should be based on football skills. how dare they.. England invented the game. the WC is morally Englands.forever.

[woodrot]

BTW, I dont actually wish failure on Ingeland- except at Scotlands cost ( some hope of that...) but when you hear verbose nasally poltroons like gerrard saying that this is the best squad he has ever been with, then you know its not going to end well.

good luck anyway. Hodgson is a decent straight bloke- he will be given pelters after the WC.blates.

It's the barefaced bollox spouted by players and pundits alike that bites.

ITV's desperation (personified by the dejected bunch crammed into that Wembley cupboard) knowing that, from 2015, this will be the only football they show, is hole-puckeringly embarrassing.

I can't help myself!!

From The Scotsman:

AN ADVERTISEMENT for the Rangers Football Club has been cleared following 78 complaints that it described itself as ?Scotland?s most successful club?.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said 78 complainants believed that the new club was only formed in 2012.

The RFC said previous owner the Rangers Football Club PLC, named as Oldco, went into administration in 2012, but the business was bought by Rangers Football Club Ltd, or Newco.

The ASA said ?we noted an independent commission appointed by the SPL and the European Club Association had reached the conclusion the football club was a ?recognisable entity in its own right, and continued in existence despitetransfer to another owner and ?operator?..

Good result for Scotland tonight albeit reportedly against the run of play. Amazing what a change of manager and a change of attitude can have.

WGS has done a great job with a very limited set of players.

Wonder how we will fair in the Euro qualifiers. Hope we get a decent draw.

[Mick Mac]

Agreed. Great effort by Strachan. Restored some pride to the team. He might take over at England next.

[red devil]

45mins of 4-4-2 was enough for me, turned over for the Sweden v Portugal 2nd half, glad I did, Ronaldo was simply brilliant...

[El Pibe]

I'd love to have seen Sweden's recovery complete if just to annoy Ronaldo, but then I guess he has a right to be an arrogant sod, he's the kind of player who does this under the highest pressure.

We really do have a journeyman team, almost casually dissected by a pretty journeyman german performance.

A bit depressing. I can't wait til the world cup but I can't see myself getting worked up about England games.

[StraferJack]

friendly schmendly

This England team aren't going to win the world cup - all of the usual foibles are present and correct - but they will play significantly better than last two games

But England fans really do seem to swing from elation to despair on just game to game basis. I haven't got stats to hand but I recall reading something along the lines of any international team who go on to do well at a tournament tend to have iffy firendlyperformances beforehand

[Bluerevolution]

[Otta]

Haha! Nothing against Spurs but that's funny.

[????]

Big Fat Sam is back to being a walrus faced tosser in my household

[????]

Nearly an 8-0

[Alan Medic]

It's the equivalent of 8-2.

[Jah Lush]

It could quite easily have been eight, Quids. We were woeful. Played like a team of strangers. The worst performance I've seen from a Spurs side in a very very long time. Absolute crap.

[maxxi]

Not even cheered by Totteringham's spanking - even the chuckle brothers Gold & Sullivan can't still buy Allardicci's con trick surely - we need a new manager soon - and with enough cash to buy a striker in January

[Bluerevolution]

I thought Spurs did well yesterday, their game play was fantastic until the first goal !!!

As for the "other" game

[Bluerevolution]

For Red Devil, RIP Bill Foulkes.
