Look at the countries that play International football http://www.fifa.com/worldranking/ran...ble/index.html

I would say well over half of them are easy to play against for a country like England, and thats being generous to a lot of countries.

Wilshere should have been in for Lampard as Carrick is over-rated in my humble opinion.

Lampard and Gerrard are both over 30 and you need one person with younger legs.

England's defence looking vulnerable again.

Unless I have missed something on TV, ITV have shown the flag a couple of times, but not explained what is for. Shame really, their efforts should be acknowledged - however briefly.

Trouble is Den, we have to win this. The defenders have to push up and forego defensive stability.

Depressing wages and or claiming benefits more like.

Wellbeck is awful.

Rio here we come.

It was actually one of the most entertaining England matches i've seen for a long time, especially the first half. Shame it was only against a poor side with nothing to play for.
