I'm surprised it's only 1 nil, friendly or not. England team compared to Germany's is just sad.

But I'm pleased Ward-Prowse got his first full team cap. He just needs to improve his long shots and he could be as good as any of the greats.

Yeah England doesn't look good on paper but they were the better team until Podolski scored. Surprising, I know. Germany didn't look good at all, terrible build up play and gave away possession too much and in bad areas. Can't believe Redmond and Ox are playing for England instead of Walcott.

almost comical that we won that game with a goal from Podolski (fantastic shot btw) - England should have had that 2 or 3-0, but they decided to stop playing after 60minutes

The Walcott exclusion was an odd one to many really, on form this season and yet doesn't make the cut? Yet knowing how things work, some not in form get a free pass because they play for certain teams. I think Redmond deserves the call up but he's not long term, not good enough but then what England players are? Ox is fine but I think this whole thing is more of a test from Southgate, give some youth players a shot, see how things work.



Hmm, pie.

Didn't even watch the friendly because..... it was a friendly and Löw likes to toy around as much as possible on these occasions. I was expecting a crappy performance and apparently they delivered. Only watched Podolski's goal this morning. Great way to say goodbye.

Can we PLEASE start suspending players for their fucking bullshit behavior?! Yes, Cavani rightfully got a penalty there but holy fuck he acted like he got fucking shot.

I also made it on Anfebious wall some time after here when talking to him about it.

Some time ago on a friends family anniversary party, they (his family and friends) were playing Bingo (hope it's called that way in english) and were we were chatting casually between us, then I suddenly told them the next ball would be B21 because I just felt like saying it (numbers and letters, the probability was ridiculously low) and they looked strangely to me "yeah, sure, let's hear it haha" expecting it to laugh harder, and yup, B21, they got speechless hahaha "did you see it?" but the guy hadn't even stopped spinning to choose a ball when I said it xD

Also the only time I've ever made a money bet on a football match, in high school, to a Brazil win for 5-1 (even bolder than today's), I won it as well xD

You should bet more often, that result was kinda unexpected

Going to the Ireland v Wales world cup qualifier tomorrow. Feeling pessimistic. I think the Welsh will beat us. Looking forward to the party after though
