Surely the owl is off to his nest after the Euros.

No. Keep them on and run them into the ground please.

Rinse & repeat vs Holland

 

[Zidane98]

Can't see how Rooney should be in the squad this summer but you know Woy will pick him..

 

[Zidane98]

2-0. Too easy. Cahill caught out of position.

 

[Buckleys Jocks]

Meh. Finishing first in the league and having it mean pretty much **** all isnt football for me.

That's a huge assumption you're making that just because there's a Grand Final on offer that the League then becomes meaningless. If you ask Melbourne Victory fans which achievement meant more to them last season out of winning the League or winning the GF the majority would say the League. Heaps of HAL fans view the League title as the real indicator of the best team rather than the GF for the same reasons you talk about.

 

[Zidane98]

Great finish by Kane.

 

[go you pups]

Lol, Deutschland

Are you having a laugh?

How was that performance drab. You must be on drugs. Our Spurs players were magnificent

Too easy indeed

 

[chef]

Cracking finish to the game.

 

[ADL9798]

What a finish by Vardy

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

You just know come the euros Germany will find another gear.

No hummels or Boetang as well.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Lol that miss by Alli though

But what a mature performance by him. Even now he's different quality, he's going to be a very big player

Oh yeah no doubt - very lethargic tonight they were.

But excuse me if i get a little bit excited tonight - because for the first time in years we've played with some intensity and quality. There's a new breed of English talent coming through which is exciting. Still too many Liverpool players out there though! Clynne was good though - but I think we should still go with walker

Watched the first 50-60 and it was very poor. What changed? It didn't look like England would score. Subs for both sides make that much of a difference

Our 2nd half was better than the 1st especially after Vardy and Berkley came on. Still thought we were good in the first hour - showing promise and growing into the game - but each to their own it's probably some kind of anti-English bias that affects your judgement.

Anyway COYS! So pumped!

Nah it's not at all. I always wish England do better than they do mainly because of the constant spurs presence. But for too long they've been a shambles. 2002 onwards they've just not hit the heights they should have. Could only imagine what some of the England squads would have been capable of if they'd had good bold attacking managers rather than Mclaren Capello and Roy

 

[Nefarias_Bredd]

Meh. Finishing first in the league and having it mean pretty much **** all isnt football for me. Just my opinion. But that's just one of the many issues I have with the A-League and why I have no interest in it.

Automatic qualification for the Asian Champions League unless it's been changed.

Vardy is what changed. That finish and then should have had an assist as well.

Nicely taken goal by Kane as well.

And then:
https://streamable.com/lf6e (Against freakin' Neuer)
https://streamable.com/ii4d (That workrate and that service)

Vardy the game changer. An excellent and exciting partnership with Kane in a 4-4-2. Tottenham and Leicester showing why they are on top. It looks extremely promising.


And then cue the actual Euro games, with Rooney and Wilshire playing in the first Euro game.


It's only a friendly, but to be honest, that last half sums up exactly what England could potentially have and it can be excellent. More of that would be nice.

Geeze great call from whoever that was who said Vardy would be dangerous against Germany!

You actually couldn't be more wrong. Very few, if any, A-League teams play that style. Most of them play it on the deck and at a very high tempo. That description of the A-League might have been accurate in it's fledgling years but it's not now. This season apparently has highest goals per game ratio in the league's history with an average of about 3 per game. It's an exciting league with the top 5 or 6 being of a fairly high and similar quality, 2 points separate the top 4 teams with 3 games to go.

I honestly can't stand that Euro snob attitude that is prevalent in the Australian football community. Sure it might not be that standard of the Premier League, but it's our own league and one of which we can be proud. The cultural cringe in relation to football in this country is incredibly frustrating.

100% this. Jod's view reeks of a Eurosnob who turned on a Jets-Mariners game five years ago, got bored, turned off and has never given the league a go again. Watch a Melbourne derby jod23 and tell me that it's a boring league. I support Adelaide FFS, you don't have to support the Glory, even though they won a game 6-3 recently.. they aren't too shabby themselves.

Solemn video but still gets a couple of jokes in at the end.

 

[ADL9798]

Hodgson: "Eric Dier did his job [as a sitting midfielder] against France, that's for sure, and does it for Tottenham," explains Hodgson. "I've been very impressed so have called him up with Drinkwater, who does a similar job for Leicester City."

"[But] they're still in the shadow of Jack Wilshere, who did so well for us before his injury. If all three were available for the Euros, that'd be a nice headache because there might not be space for all three."

How is this buffoon still in a job.
