Barkley, Barkley, Barkley looked great,daring,had pace, and held onto the ball some of the time. I rather him play and increase his name than some of the old guard. It looks like Rooney, Lampard, and Gerrard are just flat out lazy, lazy, lazy for what I have seen in these pre matches. And for Rooney to celebrate the hand ball to his foot easy tap in is hilarious. He should act more like Dempsey, and the one he put in against Turkey that was a tap in and just laugh not kiss the sky like he just won the flippin world cup.

And that is why Barry should be on this team, not Lampard.

Dear Roy,
Ross Barkley must be in your starting eleven.
That is all.

Lets hope Hodgson doesn’t start Smalling and Jones at the back in the World Cup. That was brutal to watch today.

Looks like a three and out for England is looming.

What game were you watching? England played their reserve team against Ecuador’s strongest team and completely dominated the game and Ecuador were extremely lucky scoring two goals out of nothing. England should have won the game by two of three goals. The only big negative was Lampard who people seemed to think is as good as Gerrard and adapt to being a deep midfielder when he doesn’t have a passing ability. He was a complete passenger for England.
I would really be worried if I was Italy. Their strongest team struggled against Luxembourg and seemed a slow unathletic team. England’s fast athletic team will tear Italy a new one.

What game were you watching? Ecuador’s first goal was really good. That was bad defending on England’s part. England’s back line looked awful. The midfield of Lampard and Wilshere did not work at all. Smalling should never start a game again for England.

BBC Sports confirms what you are saying.

You’re telling me about lucky goals? The Rooney goal should have been called a handball by Lambert.

Wonder what Italy is saying today? It’s only Lichtenstein, it’s not like it’s Ecuador.

That American ref was an embarrassment. Sending off Sterling for being hit. He just was wanted his 15 minutes of fame by sending of an English player.

Really??
Read the rules of the game, then watch the foul again. Had Valencia been on his right leg, clean break.
Red all day long for both players.

Read the rules and watch the replay. Not only did Sterling touch the ball the maximum it should have been is a yellow card.
What kind of idiot sends off players in friendly matches. He made it look like that Americans know nothing about soccer. When Valenica did a red card action he saw it as his opportunity to put his name in lights.
David
June 4, 2014 at 6:17 pm
Toby, you can’t be serious. 15 minutes of fame…really? Thanks for the laughs. Players get sent off all the time in friendlies. I thought the call being a red was the correct one.

Toby, I pray that you never referee a soccer match.

I completely respect Roy Hodgsons squad selection until you see Jack Wilsher. Too light weight, no presence, spends more time on the floor and lets face it, he does look like he should be Lord of the Rings…

What’s wrong with mr champion how an earth these two players w’ll miss the first game of the world cup? This friendly jon.

not on our t.v. except in Spanish. But Xfinity have unlocked Bein on the app so we can watch it live on the tablet.

Just change your SAP. Both BeIN’s carry both languages on most matches.

All these 11 who started tonight in england none of them w’ll start against italy in manuas. Only rooney has 50-50 chance

I think it’s a mistake for Hodgson to use this match as an experiment instead of using it to get his starting 11 tighter

Its 8:00 pm in uk so every one in england is watching right now

I guess England wanted to get used to the afternoon heat/humidity that they’ll encounter in Brazil

They might get the humidity in Miami but they need to train in the deserts of Texas to get the heat

Question…is the England game being played at 3pmEST just so they can watch it in primtime over in England?
Nobody is at the game.
