I'm sure a lot of us will be watching the friendlies over the next couple of weeks.

 

Tonight I am watching Belgium v Luxembourg.  I'm interested to see if there's any sign of a connection between Hazard and Lukaku - nothing much in the first half.  In fact, Mirallas and Lukaku clearly have a good understanding.

 

At half-time it's Lukaku 2 Luxembourg 1 - he could have had a first half hat-trick

fantastic third from Lukaku - we have to play him next season;

Is Thorgan Hazard in the Belgium squad, I forgot to check?

No they didn't include him, but they've a lot of talent and a lot of guys playing in England. Dark horses....

 

Going to watch France and Norway tomorrow night to see what they're about....getting pretty excited about the World Cup

Yeah, I'm getting excited too. Even for England.

Joey,i am beginning to believe England might throw a surprise or two this time. Theyve the potential to be a lot better than people think

I just can't see it... You look at the back line and you wouldn't say any of the likely starting 4 are world class players.

 

Considering they're going to be coming up against against world class attacks it's hard to see them coping. 

Pogba running riot against Norway

Yeah, I'm getting excited too. Even for England.

In my country, the orange articles (t-shirts, hats, bunting, flags, you know, your average junk) are not flying off the shelves :-)

tonight's offerings don't look just as tasty - might give Nigeria v Scotland a go for a while...

Craven Cottage looks bunged, pity the BBC are talking over the Nigerian national anthem though.

 

Scotland wearing that hidious away strip...

Is it on TV?

 

Nigerian side looks a little weak, no Mikel, Moses , Odedemwinge, and Oduamadi on the bench.

 

Aluko, and Anchibe havent managed to get called up either

Watching the England V Peru game, and as usual England take the casual approach. England players are always so scared to do anything, it's so frustrating to watch.

Sturridge who?

One good finish can't disguise the fact we are completely sh*t

Even so that was a pretty good goal from Sturridge

Not looking great, but Sturridge and his ability to score at any time is going to be real valuable in Brazil. What a player he is

If only we could sign a striker like that..

Usual fifty yard 'passes' from Gerrard going out of play by the corner flag.

Come on, Gerrard is fantastic...at least he's not slipped over yet...in a very sarcastic mood tonight for some reason

Someone explain to me why Welbeck is still playing

Might as well just have Milner playing out wide, he'll contribute a lot more.

Well done Gaz

We haven't even created a single chance this is diabolical

 

I know Sturridge scored with a great finish but we have done nothing against a very very average Peru side

 

edit: Cahill just scored but we have still been poor

They've made more chances and Sturridge's goal came from a quick throw in which took them for surprise.

Most of our attacks come from their mistakes as well, it's not looking good..
