Friendlies

[Brin]

England have an outstanding squad of players at all levels, not just the ones picked in the squad either, yet the national team will win nothing because we have a manager and coach that aren't even successful at championship level. The reason we have got to the later stages of recent tournamnets is down to the raw talent available we should have won the euros at wembley and at least one of the last two world cup semis. Southgate is a politican more than a great coach and that is what the FA want because it allows them to attract money and avoid criticisim.

Imagine Cloughie being in charge?. I can just imagine the head of the FA trying to call him out.....Cloughie replying " Now listen here young man'' .

And that is why they never appointed him when he interviewed for the job. The FA is a bunch of bureaucrats that live on a gravy train, they make local councils look affective, the Wembley stadium fiasco, all that money to build that stadium when compared to similar size stadiums. Those people do not care whether we win or not. When Southgate and Holland leave the job see how many premier league clubs fight for them, and if they do get a job see how well they do.

This England v Belgium friendly is a bit good

Very much so.

Mainoo, Foden and Bellingham linking up brilliantly at times, pleasure to watch. Belgium have barely had a kick.

What was Lewis Dunk doing though? That was absolute bread and butter to deal with.

Not watching it, but if Belgium barely had a kick how are they winning 2-1?
