International - England v Czech Rep.

Anyone care what this lot will produce tonight?

I think GB team at the Olympics is a great example of what hunger to win things for your country, means.

I haven't seen this in an England team since Euro '96.

20.00 tonight at Wembley Stadium.

What would your England team be?

There's an England friendly on? Yawn!



Not arsed at all! Think its a farce there's a friendly this early in the season, not good for our squad!

I think Gerrard is the only LFC player in England squad now.

I want a new England vision but it looks like the same tired one going forward to the World Cup qualifiers.

There's an England friendly on? Yawn!

Should of gone to bed earlier last night  no problem getting off to sleep tonight watching it, just hope Stevie gets through uninjured

Wish it was on lastnight! Couldn't drop off at all!

That's all I'll check it for! I beleive there'll only be half the capacity in Wembley!

Probably less watching on telly!

I dont care what line up is played tonight because i wont be watching it, i dont see the point in these pointless friendlies. it wont have any impact on any of the qualifiers because its ages before they will even play together again so it makes no difference. All i know is that the manager needs to go because Terry has been chosen as captain and he failed to guide the team to the Euro's and Rio is vice captain (a player that has been banned for 8 months, not even captain for his team and kicked a steward at the end of last season). Everyone knows it should be Stevie who is captain, especially seeing as he seems to get the most stick out of the players.

The squad I think Mr. Capello will play

--------------------James---------------------

Brown------Terry------Rio----------A.Cole

Bentley----Barry-----Gerrard------J.Cole

-------------Rooney----Heskey------------

Couldn't give a flying F**k what happens tonight, just want our Stevie home safe and sound 

My Sinatra sports has just frozen due to the rain, well either that or they are focussing on Rio warming up!
I might have to go and watch beach volleyball instead.

I never wish injury on any player.  But if Gareth Barry breaks his leg in 10 places Martin O'Neill might give us a fiver off.

Great goal from the Czechs there. Great build-up play, passing around the English midfield and defence. Baros scores, with a little help from Ashley Cole.

32 goals in 62 appearences for Baros

off topic: xabi alonso scored for spain

Captain JT got turn by Baros bad...terrible defending.

Becks with the corner and Brown towers over and scores

1-1

Piss poor - gerrard off for joe cole when it should be becks off. Score 1-2 to the Czechs nearly 1-3! Mistake by becks

I heard that Rio and JT got turned by Baros on his goal. Can anyone confirm this as im not prepared to watch it

Can confirm JT got turned by Baros - listening on radio at work.

and he is suppose to be captain material and lead by example, no wonder they failed to qualify for the Euro's

2-2 joe cole bundled goal from a corner.

Literally forgot there was an England game on tonight.  Been busy driving all over the show today.

Gerrard get subbed for tactical reasons then?

Oh yeah, and what was the score?

Gerrard get subbed for tactical reasons then?

I doubt it, maybe some of the managers of the clubs said they don't want players playing full 90 minutes because you saw Rio get subbed off too quite early and if Capello was serious of winning, he wouldn't of done either. Gerrard was one of the better players out there, at least he tried to make something happen.


I still can't believe Beckham gets picked, he offer nothing to open play, he can't run with the ball, he loves going inside and it seems he become the hoff ball man of the side. The problem is that most of the goals come from him and his dead ball situations so managers wil put up with 80 minutes of trash to have him pop up with setting up a goal.

I don't know mate, I didn't see the game. Was hoping that Gerrard didn't get subbed for an injury.

I was hoping he did'nt play at all, we cant afford to lose him

showing on ITV just about to kick off

Robbie Keane scored for Ireland.

I would watch but i think Family guy is the better choice

Robbie Keane scored for Ireland.

Keep the same boots for Saturday Robbie lad.

Too right! Well in Robbie Keane!

On the England side of things, I've just heard a reporter moaning about Gerrard being played on the left - along with the words 'we've already had a Liverpool player retire from International duty'.

Very wise words I reckon.

Keep playing Gerrard on the left....or put him in goal even!

Reporter from independant said after match, he can't understand why Gerrard is moved around the midfield like a spare tire when he is the most affective midfielder england have?

Looks like the new england manager falling into all the old traps - shocking game of football.

Couldn't give a rats arse about England.  How any Liverpool fan can support a team with the Neville wankers, granny-shagging Rooney, 'off his face'  Ferdinand, and son of the slut John Terry is completely beyond me.

Big waste of time, and I hate the way the league starts and then all these opposing players have to spend a couple of days having a love-in.

Makes a mockery of the competition in the Premiership.

And then the manager's from Italy.

I dont know how Rooney even gets picked for England, he looks like Shrek and plays like the Donkey

The last 3 England managers have fallen into the same trap of picking players because of their reputation & NOT on their recent form, so sad it's almost criminal...

My dad texted me about the game and said "Crapello has them playing like Sven".

Crapello!  I seen the highlights after the game and I reckon your dad's spot on.

I reckon there should be a laugh at england thread the way things are going, feel a bit sorry for capello though that team just doesnt work at all

I love listening to 606 podcast after England games because they just through everyone under the bus. I couldn't imagine people going nuts if we drew Lazio in a mean nothing friendly at home and all the supporters going nuts about how poor Rafa is.
