Must be the worst England team ever.

It's a pathetic team alright

England is symptomatic of my losing love with the game. I don't even want to watch them play, whereas i used to watch and enjoy them losing

Sad times
 
Its still better than selecting all the big names regardless of form, injury and their ability to perform well as a team. Because in the last 15 or 20 years there have been times when England team had many players that would be worthy world champions on form.

Germany do well in big tournaments because they always pick players who are on form, regardless of past achievements. Also they don't have clueless managers who say things like..."We must adopt English mentality".

I'm referring to Southgate saying "We must adopt German mentality" ...in case anyone is wondering.
 
I think some of the stuff Southgate has been saying has been really refreshing.

I don't really trust in him to revolutionize the national team (my expectations are zero) but saying these things publically and dropping the likes of Rooney is a big step in the right direction.

Whilst true, you also look at the German players and their whole squad across the board is better. Arguably because they've managed to cherry pick from some polish/Austrian players in the past too

You look and wonder at how some English players haven't received more caps over the years. It's pathetic
 
It took the arse of a commentator less than 45 seconds to mention 1966. I set out wishing England well and it's dashed in under a minute.
 
I bet Vardy still has 2 world wars 1 world cup ringing in his ears as he chases down the German defence.
 
What was all that nonsense before the game kicked off about how the events in London will have affected the England players? Why should it? As sad as it is it wouldn't affect me going to work so why would England players be impacted mentally? Crock of shite.
 
That's probably the worst English attacking line up I've ever seen.
Still, it's "only" a friendly.
 
1-0 Germany.
Podolski who's retiring and hasn't started an international game in 3 years scores.
Fear not though Nathan Redmond and Jesse Lingard are on.
 
Keane and Livermore?

I guess the only alternatives are Wilshire and Jagielka so yeh fair play.

Where was Barkley?

& not a fan of welbeck ox or walcott but they should be in and around the squad too.
