How will Southgate set up his side
Will it be his starting side against Tunisia?
Will he play three at the back which really means FIVE!
Will he play two up top with Kane and Vardy?
Will he play players out of position?
I don't have much hope for this squad in Russia.... maybe they will surprise us! Couldn't do worse than the last few World Cups!
The Three Lion Line Up has been announced
England: Pickford, Trippier, Young, Walker, Stones, Cahill, Lingard, Dier, Kane, Sterling, Alli.
Subs: Rose, Butland, Maguire, Delph, Livermore, Vardy, Welbeck, Loftus-Cheek, Lallana, Rashford, Pope, Heaton.
Not sure why Livermore and Lallana are on the bench...they are only in the provisional squad
Nigeria XI: Uzoho, Idowu, Ekong, Balogun, Onazi, Mikel, Obi, Shehu, Ighalo, Moses, Iwobi.
Just tuned in ITV
The Epsom Derby just finished
Football coverage starts at noon
The problem with watching on the computer, the coverage is always delayed by a minute or so
Sitting on my deck with the pool in the background...very pleasant day
Nigeria have Argentina, Iceland and Croatia in their group!
Tough group there
Apparently there is a lot of away support at Wembley today
Come on ITV
The Derby is done... get over to Wemberlee
My video is so clear though....just the wrong part of England
Come on England
Come on England
Come on England
Three Lions on the shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
30(52) years of hurt
Never stop me dreaming
I wish England would play with Kane and Vardy started together
Brilliant...show is starting!
What is the formations
3 3 2 2 apparently according to ITV
ITV are Gooners!!
Dixon and Wrighty in the studio
Sterling starting despite the gun tattoo on his leg and him being late coming back a trip even though he had extended break
England are without the Liverpool lads resting after last weekend
Ali and Lindy on together
My link has been perfect for half an hour....it better not starting acting up as the match starts
ITV doing their best Fox impersonation...commercials!!
around 70,000 expected under the Arch
Southgate being honest in his interview
Thought about axing Sterling 10 days ago because of the tardiness to protect the team
I like England's white shirt and blue shorts....Nigeria's tracksuit tops are Liverpool's paint shirts from before
3 millions pre orders for their shirts!
Teams coming out of the tunnel
70,000 but Wembley looks empty
National anthems...glad they don't boo like they used to
Here goes GSTQ
I might be watching some of the WC games on ITV and BBC the video is brilliant!!
I don't end my school until June 22
I feel a tummy bug coming on June 18!!
Nigeria's shirt is light green with white
A minutes applause for Rays Wilson and Wilkins
Well done fans
Wembley sounds good... more of the seats look full
I think the top deck on the camera side is kinda empty
Away we go
COME ON ENGLAND!!!
Both shirts look white
16 days til England blast off in the World Cup
Ali is being booed by the Nigerian fans... I hope it is from them and not England
I want England to play quick... too much passing right now... going no where
Ali with a chance to cross.... absolutely hopeless
At least Glenda says he should have done better
It is depressing
Man, those Nigeria tops are ug-lee. Nike did them rotten on them. Hiya UWS.
Clash of heads in the box... both players are Nigerian
Ref didn't call it off at the beginning... waited for England to get a hurt
The new Seagull is still down
Hey Steve
Welcome
How are you watching the match?
Apparently the new shirts are so popular!!
Free kick chance for England
Young and Trippier...with a shot on target
Saved
I'd love this team to surprise us all and thrill us in Russia
GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cahill heads in the the corner!!
What a novel idea.... have a corner beat the first man
YES!!!!!
Great header thumped in
love it
Yeah, I did a bit of tidying around the gaff this morning so I'm watching en Español on Deportes now.
Cracking header from Cahill to start things off right this afternoon!
Goal came at the 7 minute mark that included the injury too
Get my link going... it is great coverage apart from Glenda on the mic
It's always a choice for me, but I went big screen and chitter-chatter for this one.
Young to take England's second corner... deeper...Cahill wins it but is cleared
Sterling with a nice move....shot blocked
Looking good so far
I am encouraged
oooh, how did England not score from there
Almost in twice
Nigeria look very ropey to be considered much of a threat this summer. Do you know if they've trotted out all of their available A's?
Wish that had been Kane onto that Sterling chance. He'd have buried it.
Great turn by Sterling... finish was lacking
Flicked it over the keeper but wide....not that close
England could have scored four already and we are only 13 minutes in
Nigeria still haven't named their squad
Still 35 in camp
What happened to #7 being coveted shirt(and always mine)
Lindy wearing #7
Not exactly Keegan, Robson, Beckham
Young has had a lot of the ball this half
Playing well
Just finished talking to Bob and asking where he is. Yard-sale duty. Cue, big brother eye-roll.
Decent cross by Trippier cut off
Came back to him and he tripped....himself
Honestly don't like Young so far forward. It's working against these mugs, but it mustn't become a habit at the sharp end of things.
VAR being used but only for goals, penalties, red cards and mistaken identities
Sterling with another chance... blows it...passes to Young... saved
Sterling can't finish in front of goal!!!
Still encouraged
This has been ALL ENGLAND in the first 20 minutes and Kane has hardly touched the ball
Young to take a free kick from out on the left... swinging in... cleared
If Vardy was in there... he would have scored where Sterling didn't
Not keen on VAR. It's too disruptive. When I've watched it in use, it feels very NFL to me.
Kane is weirdly not involved. Worried about an injury?
I hope that England do use their subs well in Russia
Rashford and Vardy would give scoring options when goals are needed
Nigeria are the lowest ranked African team in the Finals
Tunisia.... the highest
Totally agreed about VAR
Can't really celebrate a goal...until it is confirmed!
That pen for Italy's equalizer was mindless
I think I'd run Vardy like a viscous dog from the start, and then when they're tired of him, bring on a speedy option like the Rash or Sterling. I'd save Welbs for when Kane needs a breather or sub.
Southgate has asked for an Asian referee for Thursday match to get a feeling about the man in black, red, yellow, blue... whatever they wear
Sounds like a great plan
Why aren't you in charge!!
Nigeria with their first foray in the the box... England panicked a little
What are you thoughts on Shrek to DC United
Would you want him?
Stones needs to be told the saying
WHEN IN DOUBT
KICK IT OUT
Agreed. I would much prefer a few errors than the farcical spectacle of VAR. I'd prefer miking the refs so we can hear what the players are yelling at them, and the introduction of 5-10-15 sin-bins to punish numbskull crap like simulation and dissent.
Nice move by England
Quick move... Lindy has a shot blocked at the near post
I have always like not knowing how much time is left but it is getting ridiculous
I am moving into the clock being shown.... a player goes down to waste time...stop the clock
All those moronic substitutions at the end...stop the clock
All of it will end!
Great movement again... Lingard fails to find the man!!!
Modern Day footballers can't cross!!
Bring back Coppell, Hill, Beck, Giggs
I'm ok with Wazza to DC. I don't think he's got an outrageous number of goals in him any more. but as long as he can prove his physical fitness, it would be great to have a little excitement like him again. My vote was for bringing in Ballo. That guy would have the goals for sure, and a much higher entertainment factor, on and off the pitch.
If this was the WC... I would be thrilled with this display!!
Is the new stadium ready?
From that angle? Really Raheem?
Ballo was back in the Italian squad... not sure if he would come over here
Another great move...another piss pour cross by Sterling
So frustrating
Jully 14th. They just laid the new pitch yesterday and the monsoon weather we're having will help it get ready for the opener.
I really wouldn't have Sterling in my side
He is so wasteful
Sterling with the ball again is wasteful... comes to Lindy with weak effort blocked for a corner
Young to take...come on England
Deep...punched out
Capacity?
I have been the Union and Red Bulls stadiums
Both perfect sizes for the MLS
They are doing it right
Do the Revs still play at the Gillette? They need to move
Nigeria with first shot from tight angle saved by Pickford
The Ballo rumor apparently was real. We sent our recruiting team over to woo him, but he wouldn't commit to talks and a DC visit before the home opener. I know he's back in the Italian national team but that's not worth a pail of piss with them out of serious contention until Euro '20. By then, I don't expect them to be thinking of a Ballo in attack Italia.
England with another chance... hit over by...guess who... Sterling
26K capacity. Good public transit links, and good bar and restaurant availabilty nearby.
YES!!!!!
KANE IS ON THE PITCH
TWO NIL
Great finish... after Sterling blows it going into space
Poor goalkeeping
should have been saved...under his hip!!
First time England have scored two in a match since September
Where's your brother?
OK Raheem, watch and learn from a master finisher. One chance, and wallop! 2-0. One more before the half would make up for Sterling's profligacy. And it would be great if it was him. If he finishes without at least one, the tabs will be on his back tonight and it won't be because of his idiot taste in tattoos either.
Great for DC....out of town?
I hope England play this way against Tunisia...not afraid to attack... great display so far!!
There's a town wide yard sale and that he and Katie are participating. They want to shift some clobber that accumulated when they combined households, My eye-roll this morning when he told be me was just about audible.
hahaha
In town, on the river in a underdeveloped area. It's former mayor Berry's old ward so it's been contentious getting it built. But finally, the DC (dysfunction city) government pushed it through.
There's the half. Time for a sandwich. Back shortly.
Half time
WELL DONE ENGLAND
KEEP IT UP
Chris Waddle is disappointed. He thought this was going to be a good test foe England
He says it is hard to know how England are playing because how shocking Nigeria have been
What does Wrighty and Dixon think
Lee is pleased
So is Ian
Sterling has gotten himself in some great positions and has had great movement...it is his finishing
For Kane's goal, it came from a poor pass from him to Sterling which caused the ball back to him
I think Young and Trippier have done great out wide
4 change for Nigeria. None for England. And we're off.
Iwobi does get one back with a great finish. It's what I'd like to see more of when he's in Red and White.
Bugger
1-2... under two minutes
All of a sudden.... England are second best
The full backs have been invited to rampage forward. It will be interesting to see if they will defend as well as they got forward. Nigeria showing more intent in nine mintues than then did in the first 45
So bad by Sterling!!
Gets a yellow for a dive.... fans cheer the yellow
I HATE IT
I'd take him off for Vardy or Rashford
Yep, clear attempt to deceive the ref and a deserved yellow for Raheem. He does himself no favors does he. Southgate's got a decision to make. Withdraw him after his dreadful hour, or persevere with him because he needs to redeem himself?
Come on England....just like the first half
I'd like it if Kane got more service than he's getting, or if Alli could exploit the attention their defenders are giving Kane. I can't remember any chances that have come from Alli doing anything at all.
Second half has changed from the first half
I was so pleased...now...not so much
The crossing is a lost art
Glenda says that England are leaving Sterling and Lindy up for defensive corners... I like that
No, this is just drift from England. I'm waiting for Southgate's changes. This is awful
England should have been out of sight but not now
Dier should have scored from a close header
Oh yeah, Lindgard is on the pitch. I'd forgotten. He's been so anonymous I was thinking that he'd make a good change to liven things up. Not so much, I guess.
Agreed. Dier scores those plenty for Spurs.
No quality on that cross but that Nigerian bloke ate Young up for speed. There are Belgians that won't be as kind.
Here come the changes
Rose and Loftus Cheek
Young and Lingard being replaced
All United players taken off
Lost my picture a few times!!
Coverage is like England...worse in the second half
Can't get video back
COME ON... get your finger out!!
I have a frozen screen... finally
Welbeck and Rashford coming on for Kane and Sterling
Tier takes the captain's armband
Two Nigerians have clashed heads again!!!
Is it the shirts!!!
Not before time, Sterling's day is done. Rash on for him, Welbs on for Kane.
Every African in the Prem is in a green shirt today. I didn't realize all of them were Nigerian
Foxes Iheanacho for the Nigeria
Rose dives too
It isn't a European thing any more
It is a young England thing
Ooojh, Welbs away but he got tracked down. Probably would have tried that Emirates crowd favorite, poking the ball into the keeper's midriff as if that's some magic passage through to goal.
Me neither
Sin-bins for stupid diving. Let them watch the match from the side-lines for 5-10-15 minutes away from their bench.
England aren't going forward with speed any more
Rashford with a pop... weak effort
Delph coming on for Ali
Thought he was playing full back these days
I'd like that
Do you get the point of Delph in the squad? He's so mediocre, IMHO. Even a new-boy with something to prove would be a more positive choice.
I totally agree
Mediocre is a perfect description.... it is just the wizard Pep's influence..... that gets you a call up all the time
Stones, Sterling, Delph
Ahhh! Rash with a balloon over the crossbar when you were sure he'd bury it.
Nice cross by Delph...headed over by Rashford
Glenda has to name his man of the match.... he gives it to Cahill with an honorable mention to Lingard and Ali
Stones is probably the best of a poor crop. I hoped Tarkowski would have pressed his way in, but his previous England outing did show him up as not at all ready for that jump. I would hope that Southgate would realize that Cahill's a bit creaky and Stones switches off, and the best bet is to have a midfield that makes their job easier.
Glenda Hoddle is concerned with the second half the other team was able to shape up to us and we had no answer
4 added minutes
Glenda's having a laugh. Dier by a mile.
Tunisia drew 2-2 with Turkey last night
Also drew with Portugal as well
Wasteful from England there
And he's a Spur!!!!
That's more like it. I agree that we invited the Nigerians onto us and had no plan to counter when they did.
That's it
England win!!
Great first half
Normal second!
Great talking to you Steve
Take care
There are plenty of them that are too classy to be slumming it with the arson enthusiasts. Winks, Song, Eriksson, Kane. They'll figure it out soon enough when Potch flees to the Bernabeu with 4 or more of them in his household goods.
Likewise, Cheerio Mate.
