Baines is really insecure tbh, he'd probably have a fit on the pitch out of nerves if he was picked. Probalby needs to be eased in.

Ratinho

Awesome stuff on SKY now.

Taylor definitely a future England captain apparently.

My School had that type of pitch the England team is going to play on tomorrow and it will be bullsh!t if they use it as an excuse for any reason as to why they lost because there is no real difference except that its very very quick surface and that it bounces consistently but consistently higher than a normal bounce.

I dont think anyone in the England camp has really spoken out that much really. More to do with injuries on it as that kind of surface is harder on the knees and ankles. It's everyone else that has gone on about it. Hardly any of the Russians have played on it either tbh. Just there for the bigger gate really

Decent article.

Poor form?

Razzler

for England in the quals, sure. Not him alone by any stretch.
That clip is stupid. I didnt think Gerrard played very well on saturday but it's stupid in so many ways

ACou2000

haha that clip is the worst thing ever

Gerrard/Barry is a far preferable midfield to a Gerrard/Lampard one. And Gerrard is > Lampard. deal with it.
