Is John Stones injured? He'd be someone I'd like in the squad. Young, good with the ball at his feet, decent pace, and can play right back too.

nor me to be honest. Just goes to underline the fact that England is not producing decent defenders at the moment.

If that is the case, shouldn't the England Manager select the best available then?

Hodgson chosen clubs over form. Bertrand Austin Berahino over walcott welbeck and shaw.

Anybody excited with the fourth coming games, maybe Kane will turn out to be a regular international

tommcneill · « **Reply #854 on:** March 24, 2015, 06:17:16 PM »

Looking forward to watching this game intact, if only too see how Kane gets on

Going to both of them lithuania and italy, can't wait for italy but the only reason we're going to the lithuania game is due to the FA's stupid rule of gaining one cap for away games and now two for home games just so more people go to wembley. Absolute joke of a rule!

You would think so wouldn't you, done by the FA to make sure they sell the home tickets.

Someone could spend a couple of thousand travelling across Europe to 6 away games and receive 6 caps whereas someone could go to 4 home and one away and have 9 caps and therefore having more chance of getting tournament tickets.

That's our FA for you

I think is typically synical of the FA, as they strive to make the new Wembly viable.

They should have built the new stadium in the Midlands on a greenfield site and maybe the wouldn't be so money grabbing, but I doubt that as well.

I did an extended essay, based on the location of the New National Stadium, for a degree course I was doing at the time. Everything pointed toward Birmingham as the ideal location. Then it became political. All common sense went out the window after that.

Its beyond stupid, was going to become england fans + member or whatever it called now for France tickets chance, but decided against it after this rule, Its f*****g stupid rule to try and get people to home game.

Just saved the money and will look for tickets through uefa and touts by the ground, cheaper than going to all the games

Haha, far from it mate just a normal job in civil service, the fact I'm 23 and live with parents still with hardly any responsibilities make it easier.

For Italy next week; return flights from Stansted to Genoa, return train from Genoa to Turin, One night in Genoa and one night in Turin and a match ticket has altogether come to Â£179 which I think is quite cheap, hostel may be a bit crappy but as long as I have somewhere to sleep and have a shower I'm not to fussed.

Fair play chap but you need to add transport to and from Stanstead, and most importantly BEER MONEY into the equation.

So Hodgson will be having contract talks with England soon, hope he stays on for another few tournaments.

Not sure how he failed at Euro 2012. Got to penalties in the quarter final having only joined up a month before the tournament, having the weakest squad in a long time, and having a tonne of injuries that robbed him of 3/4 first team players.

The World Cup was so bad though. I can't recall a worse WC. Granted its the worst set of players any England manager has to call upon since god knows when but even so I think he needs a good Euro 2016 if he is to stay on.

I thought there were some decent football played Friday night and it was good to see Kane score so quickly into his debut. Italy will be a tough test but this England team can give anyone a game.
