    Given how this England manager is banging on about interactions, and being vocal, I'm feeling unfairly snubbed that I wasn't called up.

    Hang on in there. If Henderson can make it then there’s hope for you yet.

    Once he realises he needs more pointing you're in.

    Lots of interactions after the goal. I reckon a cunning plan to get the stats up where the Kraut Meister wants them, might be to score regularly. He should perhaps try players from successful teams that actually try to score goals when they get the ball. Or maybe not.

    ....and then Pickford reinforces his number one credentials with a classic double flap. Just one interaction after. I would have definitely added another one.

    Dan burn technically off the pace...not as off the pace as Maguire...but maybe we are going to actually start thinking about centre-halves that can run and kick, rather than be good lamp holders.

    Let's get Anderson in for Rice, too.

    Largely the same old wank, but with some players who definitely shouldn't be out there.

    Flicked over to the under-21s match at half-time just as France were making it 3-1 (England had apparently gone a goal up very early). Elliot Anderson has just set up a goal for 3-2. It's a decent game.

    Part of the challenge of international football is that most of your games are inevitable wins against the likes of Albania but they are very poor practice for the games you need to win

    FTFY.

    Modern football is very much shitter than football used to be, in a 'never mind the quality, feel the width' sort of a way.

    Well yes, but that's partly a factor of all these new countries they keep inventing.

    ....and all these new, and expanded, competitions that we can endlessly play them in, largely without any immediate jeopardy and fun.

    2-0 to Engerdeutsche. it looked largely the same, except the team was a bit crapper.

    Did the BBC quiz on which manager players made their debut under. Got 37%, aka crap.
