Not really. He had offers to make one of the highest paid players in the world so no way he would have earned just as much at Arsenal had they convinced him to join because all big teams were interested in him.

Lazy from Cahill. He's looked really average for a while now.
Shame Sterling missed an early sitter, could have been a much more comfortable game for us.

I dunno, I think they've done alright but need to hit Rooney earlier. Townsend and Sterling have been very wasteful.
Smalling's had a bit of stick from Hoddle for the goal, but in that position as a centre half, when you know there's a defender behind you and a slow striker you should know it's safe enough. Cahill just made a really stupid, lazy decision imo.

All this hope and excitement (minimal, i know) combined with one of the better records in qualifying stages yet again and at the end of it we'll still get eliminated early on at any tournament
Agree, at a tournament i just can't see us beating spain, italy, france or germany to name a few.

Worringly, I'm more concerned about getting to play these... The World Cup was an absolute embarrassment
Not sure why we even compare ourselves with the top nations, the last time we beat a top side in a competitive game was World Cup 2002.
We're awful, which is why there's absolutely no shock in the fact football fans in England take domestic football much more seriously than international.

Spotted the flaw there.
You'd have to defend. Nobody in England outside of Mourinho having his sides set up and organised properly can defend to anything worth a ****.

Having experienced Hodgson, albeit briefly, at Anfield; nothing he does isn't baffling. That just encapsulates him totally.
England may have a serious dirth of top bracket talent, but even if they didn't it would be utterly waisted under the current manager.

Shocking by England U21s! And shocking selection from Southgate! Lingard only player to come out with any credit this tournament and Pritchard.

You seriously expected more when all the best players weren't even there?

Yes. Still some good players. Southgate just had them on the bench.

Personally thought it was a very inexperienced, distinctly average squad and Southgate will doubtless get exactly what he deserves for leaving all the experience and quality out.
Don't understand how you can do that. And those players will never get that chance again.
