Looking at the first 30 mins... Sori but kane just ain't cutting it...with the Irish line up it NEEDS some one in the center,playing of the Irish c/bs shoulder keeping them active .. .. kane dropping of even a couple of yards gives them numerical and spacial advantage.. let's hope I'm wrong and kane pops a couple in the net....
 
Who cares - Irish have actually injected some atmosphere into that god awful morgue

2024 and people are still getting uppity about their nations theme songs. I couldn’t give a shit if they boo our boring anthem and vice versa.

Games a bit dull so been the only notable thing to happen so far. Hopefully we win and then boo them a bit more after. Will be a laugh.

Kane doesn’t really fit the way England play. He’s there for the penalties etc but we don’t play to him like Bayern do. Get him in to shooting positions regularly, he scores.

Pointless him being out there in games like this, you’re waiting for a moment. Madueke at the moment is doing the whole Sterling thing where he’s allergic to cutting it back.

Against this kind of setup you want to pull them in as many directions as possible.

He’s fucking dreadful
 
Absolutely a glorified friendly.If it was an actual qualifier I wouldn’t mind so much.

Regardless of anything, international football would need friendlies anyway. People just moan for the sake of it.

Countries are going to play games otherwise they’d be a chaotic mess come tournament time. They’re disjointed enough as is.

I'd started supporting Spurs a year or so before but the first game I can really remember watching was England vs Brazil. What a fucking game too, one of the best ever tackles and the still the finest ever save I've seen.

Yeah. Started supporting Spurs in 68 but as I lived abroad I don't think I actually saw them play live or on TV until 72.

Do recall watching England v Brazil and England v West Germany on TV in 70 though.
