The England kit makes no sense on any level. How could you leave the red off?
Oo decent goal.

It's rubbish, there are enough elements conspiring to prioritise club over international football without volunteering (or succumbing to pressure to introduce) this very significant negative switch.
I think one reversal against the insidious creeping domination of the calendar by international football is to be welcomed.
But you've long been acknowledged as a nutter on this subject.

I don't know why they ditched the navy blue shorts. These Royal Blue ones look weird. Makes the kit look like Man Utd's away shirt last season. Designed by Peter Saville I believe.

By the sound of things, you'd think England were 3-0 and creating chance after chance. I missed the goal, but have been watching for last 12 minutes and there's been bugger all to cheer about. And Johnson almost scores an own goal.

Bulgaria spent 20 minutes being petrified as England ran and chased and harassed them all over the pitch. They were making so many errors under duress. England deserved their lead although not much else in the way of chances.
The thing is, England's pace has understandably dropped and Bulgaria are starting to knock the ball about a lot better.

With six games completed and another dozen or more underway, there isn't yet a single contest in which both teams have scored.

There has been now, Italy equalise while RAI is showing an advert. So it's not just ITV who can do it.

Bulgaria really have very little up front and it's a very one paced team all the way through.

2-1 to Italy now. Estonia were millimetres away from having a two on one break a couple of minutes before the equaliser, but Pepe coming off seems to have been the key for Italy.

The next 30 years promise to be interesting times for Wales fans. We just don't know which yet to be independent parts of eastern Europe will have beaten us.
1976 Yugoslavia,
2003 Serbia & Montenegro,
2010 Montenegro,
2025 Vojvodina,
2042 Smerderevo

Wait, have Wales become the first nation to lose to every single bit of the former Yugoslavia? In fact, we'd already lost to Montenegro before, we've even lost to Serbia & Montenegro.
How small do these former Yugoslav republics have to be before we're good enough to beat them?
Wales haven't lost to Serbia or Slovenia (yet). We're on our way to building up the set though.

Portugal, without Queiroz (or Ronaldo) are down 1-2 at home to Cyprus after 15 minutes.

What is going on in Guimaraes? Portugal 2-1 down to Cyprus after... errr... 11 minutes.
Ketsbaia working some magic with Georgia - 1-0 up away to Greece.
And Fernando Torres on fire against Liechtenstein. 2 goals to the good. The lad just can't stop scoring.

BTW, the second Italy goal was from that over-rated nobody Bonucci.

Oh dear, that was horrible. Michael Dawson goes down really awkwardly and his left leg gets trapped underneath him twisting it and his knee ligaments in a dreadful contortion. He'll not play football again this year I fear.

France playing a decent game vs Bielorussia with a host of substitutes, though the game is still scoreless.

I'm not sure what a goal against Estonia goes to prove about whether he's a good player or not. The Italian defence has looked pretty rocky when I've been watching.

That is a nonsense that Fernando Torres is playing tonight.

Bulgaria break free and Hart punches clear comfortably. The Bulgarians stand there while England break through them and Defoe finishes rough Mikhailov's legs.
Well seeing his dad is the head of the football association, though you would have thought that wig technology had moved on a bit further than it seems to.

It doesn't prove anything, but two goals in three caps for a defender (the other was against Mexico) isn't bad.
