Think it was a half-volley.

Technically he's fantastic, but from what admittedly little I've seen, I'm not sure he has a football brain to match.

It's weird watching him sign his name. He's left footed but right handed!

Jack Butland broke a 124 year old record when he took to the pitch against Italy. No longer is Billy Moon England's youngest ever goal keeper.

Improved trolling technique, but could probably do with a bit more subtlety.

Why? Possession-oriented teams are in the minority.

Average defenders, which leaves everyone else with a complete lack of confidence. Too scared of what will happen when they lose the ball to properly express themselves going forward.

Disappointed by this. Will probably mean less playing time for Welbeck.

Gerrard, Rooney, Terry, Parker, Welbeck, Hart, Walcott, AOC, Sturridge etc. missing for England. Italy have nothing to worry about.

Also because they don't count penalty shootouts. The loss to Italy for example, would have gone down as a draw.

Is Puyol still going to be up to it in 2014?

Yeah, I wouldn't consider Real Madrid as a team that has a possession-based style.

Because he's need help to get it back on again.

Those type of statement always come out before players leave.

No, I'm saying it like we're crap, and he still wouldn't be an improvement on what we have, which is saying something. He's not a better DM than Parker, let alone Carrick.

I'm claiming he doesn't have a great touch because he doesn't. What that video doesn't show, is all the times he gets the ball stuck under his feet or all the times he gets caught in possession. I actually watched those U21 games live, he's more of the same, hurried in possession, just with a...

Rodwell does not have good close control or first touch. What antasy world are you guys living in? He's big, strong and quick, with a good strike on him. He's of the same ilk as Henderson, not Cleverley and certainly not Wilshere.

Nice goal against Bayer Leverkusen

I really don't rate Rodwell. Typical English athlete, with just a bit better technique than most. Good deal for Everton, they already have Barkley coming through, who will likely be the superior of the two anyway.
