They hyped it up as Zlatan vs Cristiano. Ronaldo and Messi are in a league above elite players. He's miles ahead of Zlatan. Don't think there was any doubt.

This England team and performance is awful. How Roy Hodgson is England boss is anyone's guess. All he needs now is some rain and an umbrella.

Boring. Rubbish. Predictable. Sums up England.

Why keep up with the usual rubbish talk of "let's focus on the 2020 world cup"
Are people blind to the obvious? England are getting worse each year. Come 2020 we'll be lucky to even qualify. Ross Barkley isn't going to be that great. We can pretend he'll be a lampard and Gerrard but even then they couldn't get the job done either. English football would need a massive overhaul to achieve any significant improvement at international level. This won't happen anytime soon given the massive amount of money the premier league creates utilising foreign players.

Its ridiculous how this has even become a debate. Ronaldo is so much better than Ibrahimovic in every department. I want to hear someones argument for how Ibrahimovic is the better player...

People have been calling for the young players to get a chance for ages and after 1 game they get written off like this. Thats the spirit.

But the young players have to seize the opportunity when given but sadly they did not seize it.

I have little interest in England's youth setup. It's as plain as it can be. They aren't good enough and at the current rate they never will be. Anyone that thinks England's youngsters have a chance at any future world cup is crazy. Everyone around England produces infinitely better players and plays infinitely better football than we do. I don't see it changing anytime soon. At current rate we're just doing a complete circle. If Ross Barkley ever reaches that same level as Lampard or Gerrard then what have we achieved? Nothing. We've just completed the circle. We'll still be long behind every other top international team.

The solution was already presented but it's not possible given the Premier League.

Rather than be mugged and hyped into hopeless rants about how next year will be our year, I'll sit back and accept reality. Changes have to be made and right now I don't see any change at all. They're quick to point out its the foreigners and the premier league but extremely lazy when it comes to solving it.

Does Ballon d'Or rely on international form? I would have thought messi would have struggled if that was true..among others

Couldn't give a toss about England, the club I support has given England so much and gets nothing back except our best young players leaving to get international recognition at a so called big club, tbh I'd rather the team wins the league cup than England the world cup.

Germany will be without Mesut Ozil, Philip Lahm and Manuel Neuer for Tuesday's friendly with England as manager Joachim Low rotates his squad.

Borussia Dortmund trio Marco Reus, Roman Weidenfeller and Marcel Schmelzer are expected to step into the starting XI. One of the Bender brothers, Lars or Sven, will likely replace Sami Khedira, who tore the cruciate ligament in his right knee in Friday night's 1-1 draw with Italy at the San Siro.
