What has Southgate done with his hair? He looks like Partridge.

Probably end up signing a cleaner and couple of barmen. Step up from Butt anyway.

How is that a change strip from Red and White Stripes?

Stuart Pearce has gone down in my estimations after watching that. He needs to man up a bit instead of being another yes man. Was it Phil Neal who would agree with everything Graham Taylor said?

The problem is that by the end of extra time, chances are it won't be the first 11 on the field. Its when you get down to penalty 5, and possibly 6, 7 etc that you end up with those who don't really fancy it having to take them.

Tits? Tits, and blokes wrapped in England flags shouting, "Goooooo on, you cant." Did you hear John Terry singing the anthem as the camera passed down the team? "Send 'er Victorious"

I went for Spain, I think they may be in trouble with Goal Difference.

Why is it this training top has the n rock logo on it fine, yet on the home strip they insist on having a different shade of black box around it? If they sorted out that and the bizarre outline round the crest then I'd be happy enough with these kits, nothing wrong with simple black and white stripes, its just the completely amatuer logo and crests thats the problem.

You might want to check your colour settings, I see no purple on the white top (just blue trim)

Who is this grease ball coming on?

There's been some great calls by Linesmen so far this World Cup

Did that lad just say he plays with his ring up his ring?

I would be pretty happy to see that happen, I never said I wanted Mexico to lift one, mearly just get passed the group stages with Uruguay ahead of France. Lots of players for various teams have been wearing that clear plasticy thing on the back, I don't know what the fuck it's for though. So its not part of the strip? it seems to be under the numbers. Fuck knows, I've been hoping some commentator would of picked up on it at some point, like they usually pick up on shit when nothings happening. I've seen it used in the warm up games aswell. Apparently they are TPU strips which "aid performance through proper muscle support and posture". I have no idea how that works on a loose fitting top though.

"Everybody" thought that. I think it was "Borderline" who got picked & Di Maria has to thank his "Lucky Star" he is there while Colo is "Miles Away" on "Holiday". "Take a Bow", we all know what most of the posts for the next "4 minutes" will be like now don't we. I think ""You'll See" there is only me & you sad enough. Could be just you on your own then, I have to go read my girls their "bedtime stories"

I know its not a particularly new strip, but was there ever any explanation of the bizarre black straps on the French kit?

Camera needs to pan across them, if they are actors then Alan Dale will be in there somewhere.

How does the 'Choose Audio' feature work on the red button? I am watching BBC1 through Sky and I would much rather have radio commentary instead of Mark Bright, but pressing the red button just brings up the Sport Menu with options of watching Highlights or F1 etc.

All about getting him back in the team and fully fit again should we progress. I'd be more about trying to bring some creativity into the team.

I can't see why we would bring in Barry. A defensive midfielder surely isn't what we need against Algeria and Slovenia.

I'd take Heskey off for Cole and play Cole and Gerrard just off Rooney.

How is Green getting credit for that? Inches away from being beaten on his near post with another howler.

It says an awful lot about the other 10 that Heskey has been the best England player so far.

This ref is itching to send someone off late on
