San Marino v England (17:00 BST)

San Marino coach Pierangelo Manzaroli said on Friday that he expected the home fans to be outnumbered by England's support in this 6,600-capacity stadium - and it looks like he will be right.

England flags are in evidence right around this small arena, although plenty are taking advantage of the open spaces and trees banked high behind the goal to get a free glimpse of the action.

Security, and the term is used loosely, is in evidence but it hardly counts as strict and plenty could get the equivalent of a free ticket.

San Marino: Aldo Simoncini, Bonini, Brolli, Davide Simoncini, Palazzi, Berardi, Hirsch, Battistini, Chiaruzzi, Matteo Vitaioli, Selva.

Substitutes: Benedettini, Berretti, Alessandro Della Valle, Alex Della Valle, Golinucci, Mazza, Rinaldi, Stefanelli, Tosi, Valentini, Fabio Vitaioli, Muraccini.

England: Hart, Clyne, Stones, Jagielka, Shaw, Shelvey, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Barkley, Vardy, Rooney.

Substitutes: Butland, Smalling, Walcott, Cahill, Carrick, Delph, Kane, Mason, Sterling, Gibbs, Heaton.

Referee: Leontios Trattou (Cyprus)

Rooney stat padding against shit teams

i farted

3 mins in and its only 0-0, why are we so shit and why isn't Charlie Austin on the fucking pitch

Jonjo Shelvey is better than all of Liverpool's midfield

Why is Scotland so shit at every sport /lounge/? Do they just have weak genes?

so you had scholes, lampard, gerrard, beckham, and rooney all in the same squad at one point

surely such a stacked team won something right?

yfw Shelvey and Vardy look bang average against this literal pub team

Tippy toppy lel

San Marino actually looking better than us at the minute

Gerrard and Rooney the most overrated English players ever

Both add nothing to the team who so ever

Why do England always get to play san Marino

Why is Vardy even playing for England? He is fucking shit, even Tom Ince would do a better job

>>11
wrong mate

rooney is the only that does anything for the team actually

Rooney ball control

this pitch is fucking wank
it's like manaus

Do you think if Gerrard was still playing, he would have cucked Rooney out of the penalty?

>>13
he's a chav knobhead too

if our players are going to be shit, at least make them half likeable

Rooney just stat-pads against these non-teams like san marino and never performs in actual tournaments

the fact that the media is now going to be making a big deal about him being the best england player ever is sickening

tfw could be watching Wales vs Italy at the millennium stadium right now but I have the shits so I couldn't go
I'm reduced to watching my national team play shit football against the most irrelevant nation in football

JUST

Would you rather score the world-cup winning goal for england or have sexual intercourse with emily ratajkowski

How many goals have you got in major tournaments rather than Mickey Mouse teams you shrek fuck

Milner has looked so fucking shit since he moved to liverpool

He was a beast at city

this is wank

we should play zaha instaed of vardy hes still young and has way more potential

tfw always hope San Marino score

I don't even know why I always watch these games - We make it look so boring.

It's true, working class families, shit schools. Low aspiration. Criticise the shocking cancer survival stats of the NHS and they have a fit. Mentality of accepting what's given to you and being grateful for it.

Look at post match interviews, football players can barely strings two words together. Then compare to the cricket or rugby teams, the players are upbeat, looking to learn from mistakes.

It's no coincidence that the England player regarded as the most "educated" because he took the time to read a newspaper once a day, was Graeme Le Saux who of course comes from Jersey which does not have the underclass culture of England.

As the commentator said, Vardy is turning 29 and still is shit, Austin is 26 and has scored over 200 goals.

There are literally no likeable players in this England team.

Roy will never stop playing Liverpool players
England will never have a competent manager

bad feel tbh

>>7
England were shoehorning Gerrard and Lampard into the same team + playing Heskey

It would have made more sense to go 4-5-1 with Gerrard behind the striker but instead we had to have one good striker plus fucking Emile Heskey as a battering ram

England went downhill after the Venables-Hoddle era of 3-5-2

who the fuck is this new second commentator? he is dreadful

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_international_goals_scored_by_Wayne_Rooney

HAHAHAHAH Look at this list of shitty countries

Why the fuck is Vardy in this team

Imagine having to support a team with Rooney in it. Yuck

I feel bad for you guys
