Our weakness is our midfield. Workmanlike, committed, energetic, but not creative enough. I've said it so many times, but Lallana, Wilshere, or Oxlade-Chamberlain would be excellent additions to this squad. Shame they're all always injured. :lol:
I don't rate Pickford either - makes spectacular saves but also a huge load of basic errors. I would be tempted to use the 4th sub to bring on Pope or Butland, to be honest.
England have to exaggerate contact because this ref has completely lost control. The Colombians have lost their heads and it wouldn't surprise me if they try and seriously hurt one of ours soon.
Nah, not really. Most English and Irish people are totally fine with each other. Also something like 25% of English people have at least one Irish grandparent.
We are England fans, we've been burned too often before with talk of "easier games", so we are bound to be nervous. My nerves are shredded right now. :lol:
No game is easy. Each game is gonna be difficult. All I ask is that we give a good account of ourselves, which we've done so far.
I'm not defending any Serbians who booed the Swiss anthem, mate. It's wrong to boo any national anthem. I agree with you, they shouldn't have done it.
I'm criticising Shaqiri and Xhaka for making Albanian political gestures at Serbians whilst playing for Switzerland.
You can be angry with what you want, I'd be angry with that too, but an anthem being booed isn't the same as the level of animosity between Serbia and Albania. Italians booed the Swedish anthem in the play-offs, yet no one would say Sweden and Italy have a bad relationship.
I just take issue...
Anyway, England line-up:
Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Trippier, Young, Henderson, Alli, Lingard, Sterling, Kane.
Good team, though I would personally have brought Cahill in for Maguire and possibly Vardy in for Sterling.
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
