That’s if Aidy Boothroyd doesn’t ruin them first. The U-21’s losing again and set to exit the Euro’s early, another early departure from a tournament. A brilliant set of kids and he’s clueless.
Taxi for Boothroyd. Another FA darling who got the job for being a yes man.

BBC says one shot on target in two games and not one tonight. That’s disgraceful considering Eze, Brewster, Nketiah, & Smith-Rowe are in the squad.

It really is a shame that the pinnacle of Aidy Boothroyd's managerial career remains twatting Leeds 3-0 in a play-off final.

Its international football overkill, even i who wants England to win games dont always watch them especially if its a friendly match, at one time all the home nations would have big world cup/Euro qualifiers in midweek but the full league programme on the saturday before still went ahead. Agree totally. In years gone by I’d really look forward to watching a meaningful International game. Those Wednesday night ones were usually great occasions. Now, even mediocre players are given England Caps. - these used to be the pinnacle of a players career. Personally, I restrict myself to watching the World Cup and Euro Finals only now. I have 8 world cups under my belt and 8 Euros. Seen England in nearly 60 countries. Used to be the no 1 ranked fan. Now they play and i dont even know. FIFA and UEFA realised in the early 90s that they only had a small slice of the coming TV pie...they grew the World Cup and Euros, added groups instead of knockout, did the Champions league and Europa the same. More matches more TV revenue....all to the detriment of national leagues and even the national teams. Greed...pure greed. Internationals were the pinnacle. England v San Marino behind closed doors is about as exciting as blow football at my spotty mates house.

As a football fan Porrohman is there a particular reason you dont care for the football team but want the rugby/cricket teams to do well, i wouldnt say that too much money, greed, overrated etc can really be used because that runs through league football too, i want both the rugby team and cricket teams to do well also, although i rarely watch a match of either sport in full. I don't know tbh. Someone said earlier that if it wasn't for Town they'd have given up on football. I think that's about where I'm at. I scarcely watch EFL games on the telly, I'll put the PL games on but end up looking at stuff on my phone instead of watching. I don't bother watching internationals or the Champions League. I think I stopped caring about England during the SA WC fiasco and haven't ever got the buzz back. Oddly though, I got my kids to buy me a copy of the early 80's Admiral shirt for Father's Day last year, although that's probably cos it was the last good looking home shirt they wore. Gave mine to a Swedish mate about 10 years back....the originals are now £300...it was the one i wore at Spain 82, probably fit a 12 year old these days

Definitely a great England Shirt that one. Understand your lack of interest in the England team. Do you think a reason for this could also be that since Beckham, we’ve not really had a standout England player who people all want to watch? It’s certainly the case for me. Playing a boring unadventurous system and not having any flair in the team certainly means no interest from me. Favourites every tournament....they are not even in the top 10 in the world despite all the Prem investment in youth. Alright against minnows, dicked every time they face a real team. Watch out for Denmark, they are flying the last two years.

I am, nowt better to do, a few beers before tea, but.....we should have been 1-0 down earlier, that would have been embarrassing. There's no easy games in international football anymore. Just ask Eire 😁 1. Eire are shit. 2. Luxembourg have made big strides....they were only 5/1 at kick off....no longer the minnows.

Think there are 20 world cup matches this midweek and 18 complete mismatches...what is the bleedin' point? Teams at 20/1. 50/1. 100/1.

Same with my Central Mirfield shirt.

2 so far tonight for Bacuna, Curacao v St Vincent and the Grenadines 18 seconds, his first goal. Their fastest goal since 1976.

Watching Gibralter v Holland, the Sky commentator's just said "if Gibralter defend any deeper they'll be over the border into Spain" 😁.

Wales just managed to get a Czech sent off, bit of a wrestle in the box, bit of an elbow on the back of the neck but the Welsh lad goes down holding his face.
I hate the cheating & trying to get opposition players sent off, where's the honouring of their profession? Plus it makes it so much harder for the ref
