He did! Dedication to be admired, but not a good idea after a blow to the head.

He was like a punch drunk boxer, surprised he came round after that knock to the head.

Still mediocrity, because apart from the brilliance of the ear biter Uruguay weren't very good.

Did you see the slow mo?

Yes I did, there was very obviously contact, he wasn't necessarily concussed though, he did break up the England pressure....

Not sure about that, he was doing some twitching on the ground.

I didn't see him twitching, I did see him talking to his team mates when they came over to him, eyes closed of course.

I could be wrong of course, but I don't see his manager, the club doctor, the ref or FIFA letting a player continue to play after being concussed, let alone him being well enough to do so.

I always wondered why most of my travelling companions would travel home from away matches in a drunken stupor. Then I realised I was following Rovers and I wished I wasn't sober myself! It started happening at home last season as well! Lol!

Just SSN and had interviews with England supporters and the first one said 'I hope we play a high tempo game and take the game to them!

Is it any wonder we don't do well and we let the media pick the team and Roney will play down the middle!

I told you so!

Dear The FA,

Please can our next manager be younger than 65, please can he/she have the ability and tactical nous to;

- drop the overpaid under achieving so called 'stars'
- have a plan to win a game that includes a plan b, plan c, plan d etc
- encourage passion
- encourage flair
- make the team keep their shape
- pick a young team and stick to that team through thick and thin (just like Germany 5 years ago)
- pick players that have pride in playing for their country
- take the players' names off the shirts
- stop paying the players to play for their country, give them win bonuses by all means
- teach the players how to pass the ball
- teach the team to keep possession
- teach the team how to apply pressure and remain able to defend
- teach the defence to defend

Until this happens, The FA, England will continue to be a laughing stock and will slip further and further away from the top of the international game.

You may be happy with this, I'm not.

Sincerely

A fan who will no longer pay good money to watch England until there are major changes
Great post,

His right hand was twitching when he was knocked out, I too was surprised he was allowed back on given the seriousness of the blow to his head.

All decked out in bright orange!

I have just turned on the been for the game and I have switched over to the tactical camera channel.
I will watch and report. But I think I like it!

There was no chance of missing him in the goals .

Our UK goalie looked pale grass green compared to Mr Tango :playful:
