Some rather ominous words from Wayne Rooney in the pre-match news conference, with the striker saying he would 'never retire' from England duty.

Also, Rooney sees no reason why he cannot continue playing for the national team beyond the World Cup in Russia in 2018.

"I feel I'm capable of going to Russia," he added. "After that, it may be a realistic time to see how I feel and if I feel it's not right for England or myself, I'll have a decision to make.

"If I feel I can carry on, I'll try. But if the manager says he doesn't feel I'm in his plans for the next tournament, it's probably better I don't play in the qualifying games because I won't be going to the tournament."

England starting XI: Hart; Clyne, Cahill, Smalling, Shaw; Delph, Shelvey, Milner; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Rooney, Sterling.
Subs: Butland, Heaton, Gibbs, Stones, Jagielka, Mason, Barkley, Vardy, Walcott, Kane.

Switzerland will join England in France next summer if they win at Wembley and fourth-placed Slovenia draw at home to Estonia.

England, meanwhile, will wrap up top spot with a win or a draw.

Switzerland XI: Sommer; Lichtsteiner, Klose, Schär, Rodríguez; Inler, Behrami, Xhaka; Shaqiri, Drmic, Stocker.

First for England are literally winning Euro 2016
It's our year
literally

So I read somewhere that hodgson would start with 3 midfielders, being: Milner, Shelvey, Delph.

Why does he do this?

>>3
because that's the formation we play

How much champagne have you bought in anticipation of the extremely likely and realistic scenario that Roy's boys bring football home next summer?

why is chamberlain rated?

what has he ever done?

>>6

literally won every game so far
people still complain endlessly

why

>>3
its englands future
its a brave new future
the game of football has changed
hard working midfield is now a substitute for ability, talent, skill and intuition
be scared rest of the world
be very scared

Sommer; Lichtsteiner, Klose, Schär, Rodríguez; Inler, Behrami, Xhaka; Shaqiri, Drmic, Stocker.

I thought Syria wasn't European? Why are they in the UEFA?

>>9
How many of those players are ethnically swiss?

Hopefully Rooney breaks his leg the overrated fat cunt

He won't break the record tonight Switzerland are a good team and Rooney can only score against shit teams

>>11
why are you always so negative

what did rooney ever do to you

Glad we finally get to watch england play a real match. Is there a reason that no-hope non-countries like andorra, san marino, liechteinstein, holland, gibraltar etc aren't put together in a pre-qualifying group?

roy might of outdone himself this time. i can't think of a much memier line-up than the one we put out tonight

Theres just something really appealing about germany playing even if they are wankers

the really high technical skill and intelligence in every position along with a solid system really make for entertaining team

england will never reach this level because every pacey black winger with any hint of promise is literally the next saviour

How many times do you think they will say England alltime leading goalscorer tonight?

Raheem was playing with Silva, Aguero and Toure a few weeks ago
Hes now playing with Rooney,Chamberlain and Milner

Get ready for a reality check son you've gotta carry these shitters

Rooney is not worthy of besting Sir Bobby's England record edition

Garry Monk would get England to the semi's of a major tournament

Girl I like has invited me over to watch a movie tonight, but I dont want to miss my hero Wayne Rooney break the England goal record, what have I done lads?

Go on dating site because you are forever alone and get asked by a girl:

Looking back on your life, of what are you most proud?

What is the one dream for your life you most look forward to having come true?

Surely she could have asked me something like do you like pets or something, shit this is hard. Any answers?

Also Rooney to score or some shit.

>>21
Say you are proud that you can say you welcome refugees to the UK because you are a moral citizen.

Your dream is world peace and you think that through world socialism this will eventually be achieved.

jon-jo shelvy

has two first names, can't spell either correctly

>>9-10
Tbf Switzerland are only second to Germany in terms of kebabs in the national team:

Inler
Turkyilmaz
Derdiyok
Murat Yakin
Hakan Yakin

>>24
nigga half those swiss kebabs played well before germany turned into kebab

DELPH INJURED A MINUTE IN

TOP FUCKING KEK

>>25
How do you injure yourself after 10 seconds?

Is everyone else seeing spooky Ladbrokes advertising on the pitch?

If England wins Euro 2016, will all players receive a Sir title?

Guys can anyone else see the slight ladbrokes advertising on the grass? Wtf is that

The third ref got fucked by Kane!!!!!!!!

Tell me about Cahill! Why does he wear the mask?

no contact fucking refball!!!!!!!!!

Why do the Swiss have so many kebabs in their team?

>>33
Because Switzerland is 5% muslim
It's not the land of Aryan milk and honey /newpol/ thinks it is

Genuinely can't stand the way Sterling runs, it makes me upset.

>>31
It's a team-confidence thing. When he's wearing the mask, his partners can all pretend that he's EBJT.
