The Euros Continue
So, after just three games in Premier League, everyone is off to play for their countries. We will be all concentrating on the big one in Bulgaria. England hope to do the same with this lot as they did at Wembley... a 4-0 win!
At the same time, we'd all love to see the Welsh get something off of Montenegro!
Join me and follow it all
COME ON ENGURLUND!!!!!!!!!

Kick off for the match is at 2:15.
The Welsh get started 15 minutes later
Who will be in the England line up today?
Will the United Quartet all get in the starting line up
I think Jones and Smalling should get the nod on the right side of the English defense and Chelsea take the other side with Terry and Cole.
Ashley Young, Bob's favorite, should ABSOLUTELY get the start with the form he has shown so far this season.
As for Cleverley, I think he won't start but should!
England have not lost to Bulgaria in nine meetings... I hope they don't get complacent.
Putting the young uns would take away any chance of that.. they would want to impress!
I looked in my Guardian Season booklet and it says that all England away games are on Sky... so.... I will be bringing up Premium TV for the Sky link.
Looks like the coverage starts at 1:30
News that Scotty Parker should be in the team...only his 7th Cap for his FIFTH CLUB
Greece have moved four points clear of Group F after beating Israel 1-0
Breaking News
Celtic are to be reinstated into the Europa League after Sion has been found guilty.... there is still subject to appeal... but SCOTLAND LIVES!
Celtic would be in a group with Athletico Madrid, Udinese and Rennes... watch them go win the whole thing!
RANGERS MUST BE FURIOUS!!
Chelsea's new striker Lukaku will not feature in Chelsea's group stages of the Champions League
mypremiumTV has a great link going strong
England's starting XI for tonight
England: Hart, Smalling, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Walcott, Parker, Barry, Downing; Young, Rooney
No Lampard, Jones or Cleverley
Of course, I'm not happy seeing Barry!!
What will be the formation?
Rooney up top alone? He doesn't stay there!!
What about the midfield... there are three wide players... there are only two sides!!
Who is going to be in the middle?
Neville and Hoddle saying that the players didn't know the team until a few minutes ago... I guess they have practiced in this formation!
1847: Bulgaria boss Lothar Matthaus, Germany's World Cup-winning captain at Italia 90, on his side's approach tonight: "I want my players to be like Germans. They know they will play against England and have to show all the best they are capable of. It is important to control the play without fear, to press the opponent and not to be a mouse which runs from the cat."
Come on ENGURLUND... and COME ON WALES!!
On the bench for the Three Lions
Stockdale, Jagielka, Baines, Milner, Lampard, Johnson and Defoe
No place at all for Jones
samcandlin on Twitter: "Young out of position and Barry over Lampard. Did Capello pick names out of a hat for this starting line up?"
My link keeps going off... I am getting ticked off
England have scored 5 goals on the road in 2 games
5 minutes to kick off... teams coming out
According to Sky
Midfield is having Parker and Barry behind Walcott, Young and Dowling
Roon up top
I HATE THE LINE UP
I was wrong, flags were coming out... the teams are in the tunnel
Bulgaria are wearing white shirts and green shorts. England have light blud shorts...wonder what shirts...their in warm ups right now
Refs in red... so what color are England wearing?? All Blue?
A dodgy pitch and an unfamiliar line-up. Their last warm-up game cancelled too. But England are still heavy favourites to beat Bulgaria tonight, right?
England are wearing DARK BLUE SHIRTS with Coventry Blue type trim and shorts
My link froze just before kick off... COME ON!!!!!
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT CUT OUT!!!
I think I have it back now
Very frustrated right now... freezing screen, bloody commercials
Ok, now i have it back.. two minutes in
I really don't see Barry and Parker in the line up
Bulgaria visit Switzerland on Tuesday and England host Wales
Parker fouls twice in quick succession.... I am not a big fan of his either
Bulgaria have had most of the possession... England have done nowt
Downing seems to have forgotten the offside law... just runs blindly ahead of the defense
Of course, Roon is playing too deep!
Maybe he should change places with Young. He has pace to stretch the defense... Roon stays deep anyway
Great overlap run by Smalling... wasn't connect to in the box
12th minute... England have a corner....YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ENGLAND HAVE SCORED!!!
GARY CAHILL!!
The corner was not very dangerous but it went out of the box... chipped back in and Cahill chests it down and slots it in!!
LOVELY JUBBLEY
Useless clearance from Hart... knock it off
Let's get another one... and one for Wales too
Some invisible commercial comes on my link... it is really bugging me today
I CAN'T GET RID OF IT!!!
Still not too happy with the performance so far
Roon with a hopeless shot!!
YES!!!!!!!!
ROONEY!!!
I DIDN'T SEE IT!!!
DAMN COMMERCIALS!
Seeing the replay... corner and Rooney heads in... 21 minutes gone and two up!
Come on Wales!
Rooney just beat Terry to the header for the goal... He has scored in every September since Capello took over
I am off to take Jon to his soccer try outs... I'll be back soon
I am back from taking Jon
ENGLAND ARE THREE UP!!
Rooney with his second and it is half time!!
LOVELY JUBBLEY
On FSC, 21 minutes gone... Spain 0 Chile 2!!!
England scored in stoppage time as Roon got hiis second with a tap in after great work by Ashley Young and Walcott. England lead 0-3 at halftime. Still 0-0 between Wales and Montenegro and still 0-0 between Ireland and Slovakia.
Hello UWS. I wish Jon well at the tryout. Great news from Bulgaria.
Three attempts on goal for England and 3 up
Hey MUR.. welcome
Roon's second was a break from a Parker handball but it was awful defending
It's been a while
Sorry... it's been a while
"Last Bolton player to score for England was the legend Nat Lofthouse vs USSR in November 1959."
Wales and Montenegro is still scoreless but Wales are looking dangerous
There are other months Wazza
"3 - Rooney's last three England goals have come on: 9th September 2009, 7th Sep 2010 and 2nd Sep 2011. Annual."
Germany are three up against Austria
Not many Bolton players have been picked for England since Nat Lofthouse played. I can only think of Gary Cahill, Michael Ricketts,and Kevin Davies.
YES!!
Wales 1 Montenegro 0
Steve Morison with the goal
I was wondering if Rickets scored and this bloke was wrong
Wales have taken the lead against Montenegro. Steve Morison, who recently signed for Norwich from Millwall, scored for Wales. Great news for England.
Teams are coming out for the second half in Sofia
COME ON ENGLAND... control and score some more
The second half has started in Bulgaria.
England have outscored Bulgaria 7-0 so far in their game and a half
Chile still deservedly up 2 Nil to the World Champs
2018: Almost a spectacular second goal for Wales. Gareth Bale, on the right tonight, dances past a couple of defenders and slams in a shot that Mladen Bozovic has to tip over. That would have been pretty special.
I ahve noticed that the video is not the best quality unless it is the school computer
World #1... HOLLAND... three up at half time at home to San Marino
My video has been fine... except for the damn commercials
I thought Bulgaria were a decent side, but they have slumped over the past feew years.
I think it's the school computer because the page reloads every few seconds.
I think they miss Berba
They did draw with Montenegro
Wales have David Vaughan booked which means he misses the Wembley match on Tuesday
Struth... Chile should have been three up... Alexi Sanchez should have done better with a break
That a big loss as he is one of Wales' better players.
Young should have done better with a cross... it was blocked
Let's have Bale and Bellamy banned too
Good to the German struggling on the sideline
It looked like Hart had to make a good save from a corner.
Flick header at a corner by Bulgaria and it was a nice save by Hart
COME ON ENGLAND!!
Oooh, Downing has a header hit the post!
Great save from a shot by Scott Parker.
What do you think of the England uniforms?
Ooops , it was Downing.
Wales have a shot saved off the line.. COME ON WALES... GET ANOTHER ONE!
They look weird. It looks like anvy blue with light blue trim. It doesn't seem like an Englnad style uniform.
Bugger... my link just popped off
I got a better view. Navy blue shirts and sky blue shorts. That is not one of my favortie England kits.
France winning 2-0 in Albania
Half time... Spain 0 Chile 2
Still can't get my link babck
I wonder if Spain is not putting forth the effort beciase it is a friendly.
Mine goes off and on.
Bulgaria makes a change as Bozhilov goes off and James Milner os on for what looks like Ashley Young.
Still no link... bugger!!
Your link is still working
Is Young hurt?
He seemed okay when he came off. I am on ESPN3.com
He better be
Finally, I have a link working on atdhe... bugger... it's foreign!
Roon headed straight to the kepper from a Parker cross.
Great news. Hopefully, everything is smooth between now and the end of the match.
Still no link... I am very frustrated!
Holland lead San Marino 4-0. Italy lead in the Faroes 1-0 at halftime while Portugal lead in Cyprus 1-0 at halftime.Wles lead Montenegro 1-0 at the half and it is 0-0 in Dublin between Ireland and Slovakia.
FINALLY... mypremtv is back!
Ive got some blokes computer boxes in front of the screen
I am having some luck with ESPN3.com
It is now 5-0 to Holland.
I can't figure out ESPN3.. I have signed up for it and still can't seem to get it working
Holland.. Well they are the World's #1!!
Those bloody boxes are still in front of this blokes screen!
Roon lays it on a plate for Walcott who has a horrible shot
I was checking the scores and now my link is having some trouble loading.
Second half about to get underway in Switzerland for the Spain Chili match
He is bring his Arsenal habits to the England team.
Germany 4 Austria 1
My link is back and I tihnk it is still 3-0 England. I read your comment that Theo missed a good chance.
looks like.. if I can peek behind the boxes... that Lampard is about to come on... BUGGER... JUST LOST MY LINK AGAIN!
Gareth Barry was replaced, but I did not see who came on.
I now have a like of a guy filming his TV..... very blurry and the sound is whacko but still I can see it
I guess it was Lampard. Bulgaria may have several ineligible players as sveral have Brazilian sounding names. And they still play this horribly.
NOW THIS LINK HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN... I AM SO FRUSTRATED!
I have been here all afternoon watching the link and when the game is on... I can't watch the bloody thing
My link went out and is taking forever to load.
Mine is very similar now.
Wales have doubled their lead... Aaron Ramsey... great night so far for the Three Lions
Excellent! This is a really good night for England.
Holland now lead 7-0. Germany lead Austria 4-2.
I lucked into a lucky link
Awful pictures and not Martin Tyler
5 minutes to go
Iniesta scores for Spain still losing 1-2
I am very sorry, but I ned to leave to help supervise a pep rally. I will be watching the U.S. vs Costa Rica tonight and Scotland tomorrow.
CHEERS!
I have to leave soon too to pick up Jon
I am off... last couple of minutes
I am back... ENGLAND HAVE EASILY WON 3-0 with a brace from Rooney and the third was scored by Cahill
Even better news... Wales have beaten Montenegro 2-1
The group looks like this with either 2 or 3 games to go
England Pld 6 Pts 14 GD +11
Montenegro Pld 6 Pts 11 GD +2
Switzerland Pld 5 Pts 5 GD 0
Bulgaria Pld 6 Pts 5 GD -7
Wales Pld 5 Pts 3 GD -6
I was a little worried before the night started but I think the group is looking pretty good now.
I wonder what the tiebreaker is for teams tied. If it is GD than a win against Wales would almost certainly qualify but if it is head to head... it may still be a little iffy
Spain came from 2 nil down to beat Chile 3-2
Take care boys
UWS
Thanks for keeping the LOB going today, lads. I really enjoyed the comments and of course the England result today. Wales really did us a favor too.
Will anyone be around late tonight for the US v. Costa Rica, match?
Not pleased here about how they decide winners
Teams level on points are ordered by head-to-head record before overall group performance is taken into account.
Hello lads. I will be around for the US vs Costa Rica tonight.
