Not up to much, is it?

One thing I admire about the Brazilians, they wear exactly the same design kit that they did in 1958, and probably for decades befor that none this change for changes sake every bloody year.

I just read this on the Beeb feed - staggering.

Credit where it's due, Southgate organised the best two defensive performances by England in 40 years. Staying in big games is crucial to succeed. Top drawer.

I guess the cup is already in the bag then.

Thought Denmark would sneak it but that was painful, especially letting Bendtner on the scoresheet

It wasn't really and I suspect if Brazil had tried they would have torn England's defence apart.

You're right about their kit. Iconic.

This is a good read: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-27809268

The hype machine begins, its not even a competitive match, lets see us do it in competition.

To state the obvious, staying in big games is worthless if you have to sacrifice the ability to score to do so.

He got a hat-trick against my team a few years back.I don't think I will ever get over the nightmare.

Watching both England v Germany and last night's game against Brazil was about as thrilling as listening to the Judean Popular Front and the Popular Front of Judea debating about some obscure point of Marxist doctrine.

Thank God we're back to league football on Saturday.

Coleman has binned Wales and is off to Sunderland. They might win a game now.

It's an amazing home record. Seems a shame to spoil it before the new year

It shows the regard people have for international football. Once the job of managing your country was seen as the pinnacle of a managers career, now it's something to fill the time till something better comes along.
