I like the fact that hodgson isn't afraid to play young or inexperienced players, and the 100% qualification record is impressive, but it was pretty dire to watch at times last night. Barkley stood out for me, capable of wonderful things with the ball at his feet.
I don't really get the fuss about lalana or sterling, there was a spell when huddle was telling us about how brilliant lalana was at doing something, but I couldn't for the life of me work out what it actually was.
I have a horrible feeling we will get dry humped in the euros.

We are a very average team, so not much is expected

[Misnomer]

I'll give it a bump......back to normal lol, like Firedodger said, we will get proper dry humped in the Euros!

The shot Rooney just had - described by Hoddle correctly as "poor technique" ...........compare to the goal by the Spanish right back.

It's one match. A friendly match.
We've got a lot of players out.
They scored two worldys.

Bump all you like but it's a bit of a pathetic point to try and prove after one "nothing" match.

And not only that is was a L3 pitch according to Hart

He should know because at times he shows the characteristics of a L3 keeper

True but the first one could have gone anywhere!

The first one was a worldy that went into the net.

Every worldy goal ever scored could have gone 'anywhere' , don't understand your point?

Fair enough; I'll bump it next summer, just for your benefit... And, your subsequent defensive response will be exactly the same?

So if England make it through to the Semi finals, then lose on penalties to the eventual champions who trounce the final match 5-0. Do you bump it again for self gratification?

We all know we're probably not gonna do anything in the Euros.

[metallilad]

I think that Woy looked at this match as an exercise in defending. He knew that Spain are the best team that keep the ball so he knew we needed to just keep our concentration.
Secretly he'll most probably be happy with the match because they didn't carve us open to score. It was two fantastic finishes that did us, that's it.
We did well considering.

Aye - if Hart doesn't miskick it and Jones wins the header like he would 9 times out of 10 against Fabregas (poor defending, no doubt) then we lose 1-0 to a wondergoal whilst having a few decent chances to score ourselves. It wasn't a great match but I'm not too disheartened. Like I say, I don't think we'll win the Euros, we probably won't do very well like usual but I don't see why some people seem so up in arms about this, like they're providing us with unfound evidence that England aren't actually that good.

Tuesday's game cancelled by all accounts. More to life than football.

Bump what you want , I'll still not join the lets pull down England bandwagon. We all know we probably won't do well at the euros but so what? Why is it some folk say we are poor but then make a big deal about the fact we've lost to Spain or next summer when we inevitably go out at the group stage? Maybe you need to lower your expectations 👍🏼

The correct decision after tonight's dreadful events in Paris.
