Huge bonus for us that Man City players are having to play on a heavy pitch on the Wednesday before we play them.

Well that was another flat boring England performance. We are much better than that to be honest but given the performance it's another point on the board. For large parts we were outclassed by a Polish side. I know we're not world beaters ourselves but our passing for the majority of the game was rubbish add that to the fact we didn't create much either.

We've beat San Marino and Moldova who can barely be called football teams, and we struggle against average (at best) teams like Poland and Ukraine. What does that make us?

Happy with the result, performance has to be a lot better though, still unbeaten under Roy.

a team in transition? have we had a near fixed squad under any of the last three managers?? I don't think we have.

I'm happy with a point in Poland.

Why though do pretty much every team we play keep the ball, have far better touch and technical ability that these England players who are on an average of 100k a week?

Something has gone horribly wrong with English football and until that is sorted we'll not win a thing at International level.

So am I its a decent point....lets remember this is all about qualification at the moment. Things on the football front arnt going to change massively until we have a new young breed of player come through that are more comfortable in possession. Still we have some good players we are pretty much always hard to beat so we have an outside chance. We should be optimistic about that. I for one am just pleased we have an English manager again...one I respect and who is visibly bursting with pride at being England manager. Please FA no more foreigners.

By the time we play Montenegro in March we will be 2 points off the top. Montenegro play San Marino and Moldova before we play them so you would say their going to win those two.What a massive game that will be. After that depending on if we're 5points behind or 1 point clear.

Is having our last two games at home a bad thing for England?

England v Moldova, Friday 6 September 2013. Win

Ukraine v England, Tuesday 10 September 2013

England v Montenegro, Friday 11 October 2013.

Beause despite the media building up our players week in week out club we genuinely don't produce actual world class technical footballers

Dont know it in full but Roys pulled a beauty in not selecting the very much lazy over rated Ashley Young.
Nice one Roy, keep your mits off our Dan though

Nope...not me.

Looking forward to seeing these young Brazilian players particularly Neymar to see what all the fuss is about.

From an England point of view cant say I'm bothered really.

Didn't even realise England were playing until seen this, so no I don't really care. I honestly would rather watch a random mid-week premier league game.

Mister AT · « **Reply #90 on:** February 06, 2013, 04:29:09 PM »

Mentioned this at work earlier, just have very little passion for the England team at the minute.

Im watching this game tonight mainly to see Brazil play in all honesty.

See what the big fuss is with Neymar, playing against 'decent' defence.

Nothing in the England team really gets me excited to want to watch them at the moment.

maximus · « **Reply #91 on:** February 06, 2013, 04:49:47 PM »

Euro 96 was the last time i was interested in England, Since then i slowly just wasn't bothered in watching them, The players just didn't interest me under the sven era, Self worth and no passion, Scared to sing the national anthem, And since then iv'e just detached myself from being interested in them at all.

BaggieBirdRus · « **Reply #92 on:** February 06, 2013, 04:53:23 PM »

Really looking forward to seeing Neymar and whether he lives up to his hype

east-stand-nick · « **Reply #93 on:** February 06, 2013, 04:59:20 PM »

The only purpose of the England team is to provide some football to watch in the summer every couple of years. Couldn't give a monkeys about this match.

1-0 england rooney scored! ronaldinho missed a pen!

rooney and wilshire are just a step above everybody else in this team

wbarenno · « **Reply #95 on:** February 06, 2013, 09:42:39 PM »

Best performance in a long while tonight, wilshere was immense

Neymar is he all that? Looked very average to me

kris_boing · « **Reply #96 on:** February 06, 2013, 09:45:41 PM »

Decent game tonight. Any win against Brazil is a good one.

Have to say though that was the worst Brazil side that I have ever seen. Yeymar? Not fit to lace the 'greats' boots IMO. I'm not sure whether its their first choice but over the years their 2nd or 3rd team was good enough to beat us.

Big plus point tonight was Wilshere. I like the look of that 3 in midfield with Cleverley and Gerrard.

Still not sure Rooney can play in that central striker. Apart from the goal he did nothing. Walcott looked dangerous on the right and it looks a partnership with Glenn Johnson who I think has cemented his place as first choice right back now.

Cahill made one mistake that cost us the goal but other than that I think he and Smalling did ok.

Plenty of positives tonight but that was a very poor Brazil side who, if that is the quality of their WC squad on home soil, wont get past the quarter finals.

LiamTheBaggie · « **Reply #97 on:** February 06, 2013, 10:19:10 PM »

Agree with Kris on all points.

Brazil looked average and I thought at times we looked more than comfortable.

The midfield 3 of Cleverley, Gerrard and Wilshere was also very promising and hopefully something Roy shall use again in the upcoming qualifiers.

Didn't see all of the game, pleased that we won, Lampards goal was really good. Brazil weren't at there best tonight.
