Rest In Peace, Hughsey. :(

This Poland side is pretty mediocre compared to that Croatia side that had solid players in all positions, was very well managed by Bilic and basically passed England off the pitch at Wembley.

He's got a worse footballing brain than Rafael. Physicality alone won't make you a great defender.

I think it helps that Roy finally realised Welbeck is very hardworking, as well being capable of getting in goalscoring positions, so there's no need to draft in a grafter like Milner on one flank to make up the numbers. I've got a bad feeling we'll be seeing the tired formula of...

Surprised that no-one in the prediction thread had Ecuador down to win, given their home record Guess they probably thought they were a team of nobodies or something.

I'd not get too ahead of myself if I were you. It was an injury hit Montenegro side missing main man Vucinic and while Townsend was impressive, I can remember Wright-Phillips scoring a very good goal on his debut and we all know what happened to him.

Would be funny if Totti was called up. I'm sure Mario hasn't forgotten that kick he received from him in 2010.

Wait, what's Januzaj got to do with this? Do people other than ill-informed journalists actually think he's contemplating playing for England? The real reason for his stalling over national football is the situation with the Kosovo side. Wilshere just comes across as a cock, tbh. If...

I think the only way you'd realistically be able to accommodate both Pirlo and Totti in the same side is in a 4-3-3, with Totti as the false-9, something like this: Buffon Abate Barzagli Bonucci Chiellini Pirlo De Rossi Marchisio Florenzi Totti Insigne That way both have the necessary energy...

Looking forward to this. Never been a huge fan of the games but this installment looks very, very good.

Hotspot was far too unreliable in the previous series, not surprised they dropped it.

Good God, the BCCI are a bunch of manipulating, bullying cocks. What's their problem with Haroon Lorgat?

Good God, no. Keep him as far away from the England setup as possible.

There are few managers with as little self-awareness as 'Arry.

Aye, the EA-Micro$oft partnership for next gen should've rang alarm bells for gamers.

I think Rafael's a decent defender in terms of tackling but he hasn't developed his football brain completely yet in terms of defensive positioning and concentration. You bring up overrated Utd players and I say Rafael is one of them, a bit like Tevez was prior because of his workrate and...

Nani was excellent throughout 2010, I think he averaged a goal/assist per game throughout that year. He hasn't had a consistent run in the side since 2010/11 due to injuries and his contract issues but on form, he's one of the few genuine matchwinners Utd have. Valencia basically fell off...

I meant that he's the sort of player at the age where Wenger could've moulded him into an excellent player, as he's done with many in the past. Koscielny and Sakho are probably France's best centre back pairing at the moment, so I don't see why they couldn't play together at club level as well.

Unless England plan on winning it with the oldest midfield in history or something.
