England vs Sweden

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

Couldn't care less about meaningless friendly. Woodside Road for Worthing-BHA Development Squad in Sussex Senior Cup for me tonight!

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

I'm always underwhelmed when I see Ashley Young's name on the teamsheet, I'm not sure how he keeps his place in the England team.

It is good too see some youngsters get blooded but that team looks a bit lightweight. Might be one of those 'never mind the result, it was the performance that matters' nights.

 

[Oscar]

Worth a bet on the Swedes tonight as this is a prestigious match for them and they are putting a full strength team up against Zaha and his fellow superstars.

What other superstars? Zaha is the superstar

He was probably England's best player in the lead up to the Euros.

 

[Brovion]

Ah ya miserable buggers! I'm looking forward to it, a glimpse of the future maybe. (And yes I know it will probably be the same as looking into the past, but hope springs eternal!)

No mention here of Stevie G's 100th cap.

In my youth the '100 cap' club was reserved for 3 genuine legends - Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton and Billy Wright. Yet by the time WC 2014 in Brazil comes around the true greats will be outnumbered by the mediocre "Golden Generation" of Beckham, Gerrard, Ashley Cole, Lampard and Rooney.

It's also worth remarking that Theo Walcott has played 30 times for England, scoring in two matches.

I'm sorry, but that's nonsense. Ashley Cole has been England's best player in the last twenty years, and probably their best left back ever. Beckham gave everything for England. Both of those players are England legends. Yes, international caps are easier to come by nowadays, but getting a hundred of them is still a hell of an achievement.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Hope Caulker does well, he is one for the future.

I really do not get Welbeck, never really rated him when I have seen him play, Gives 100% but is that really enough to play for England?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Hope Caulker does well, he is one for the future.

Yes he's been great at helping the totspurs keep cleansheets.

Did he score a hattrick then? Because he's scored 4 goals for the senior team and one of those was against Sweden when we won 3-2.

Yes but England BAD blah blah blah negative boring bollocks etc

Yes he did, away at Croatia in a qualifier in the early days under Fabio.

I know, ridiculous, isn't it? I think it's a Brighton thing, it's cool to not like England.

 

[Common as Mook]

He was probably England's best player in the lead up to the Euros.

And one of the worst when it really mattered; during.

There are a few on this board that are constantly negative about England whilst revelling in their smugness about being able to support other football teams due xy ancestor and it winds me up.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Ah screw it, I went for:

£5 Full time 1-1 at 5/1
£5 Sweden HT - Draw FT at 12/1
£5 Ibrahimavic to score first at 11/2
£2 Ibrahimavic 1-1 scorecast 25/1

Absolutely this.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Tempted to put a tenner on 1 nil England with Zaha to score and a night of gloating Palace fans. Its just the way things are going at the moment.

I am gonna be watching just in case Zaha breaks his leg that would be such a shame.

I found out the day before we got dumped outta the world cup by Germany that am a second generation Herman myself, which kinda eased the pain

I wouldn't wish any player to break his legs. A nice little niggly injury that has him in and out of the side whilst never really getting any better or worse would suffice.

I'm sorry to hear that.
