One thing I have not missed is the bloody Great Escape chant.

They all get killed except for a few in the film. 😂 Not very great was it.

Great song.

 

Better than that Scotland get battered nonsense.

[TaylorJ_01]

19 shots and only 3 on target is an unusual ratio

[andycap]

I do love the flower of Scotland anthem especially when you have some old crackerjack singing it 😂

I think it might just be that it goes on forever.

Haddaway Anderson is pivotal to this system working. 

He's good, but Rice can do the same job he does and O'Reilly is the most gifted player of the three of them imo.

Need songs like that though. Build the atmosphere through the silent patches. It's better than Scotland get battered. Millions times better.

Would Anderson and Miley work as a midfield with Big Nick just in front ?

He can't mate, rice isn't really a sitter neither is O'Reilly.

Was mildly entertaining for one tournament, passable for a second - but that was Euro2000.

Lot of gammon among the England match-going supporters.

Even better if it’s someone who has no idea when it was written.
 

I heard it so often when I lived in Scotland. Every once in a while it was in a situation that made me slightly uncomfortable

I think Rice can do it all tbh, he's quality. But I take your point, Anderson is possibly more natural in that role at the moment. I just think getting O'Reilly in the midfield, in the more advanced role elevates this team, and having him at left back is potentially a weakness.

Not really sure what Gammon has got to do with it tbh.

[andycap]

I know it's a friendly but this hasn't been great. 

I bet it cost a pretty penny to watch it in tampa aswell.

I am so out the loop. Why are we giving pitch time to players not in the WC squad?

Arsenal players given time off after CL final only joining the squad tonight. Other players filling in.

They're the sort of people that are inclined to do German stuff like the Great Escape and Dambusters

[leffe186]

Lost our way a bit here.

Last euros rice looked so uncomfortable in the holding role think he plays better in advance of Anderson. O'Reilly could be an option as an 8 aswell.

I mean they're a part of our history where we helped defeat fascism. Not really sure it's that big a deal. The French national anthem is about impure blood being spilled on the mother land and it's considered one of the best national anthems

 

People go on ridiculous both ways imo. There is some absolute shite sung by England fans but The Great Escape isn't one like

England Supporters Travel Club tickets were about $35, fair few just doing the friendlies alongside a holiday to get their points with an eye on the Euros and not bothering with the WC
