Van der MoodHoover Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Thought I'd kick this one off. So we have.........Winks in for Henderson, Gomez in for Stones and probably Trippier in for Kyle Walker. Young team, up against it......the Spanish national team stats paint a bleak picture for the young Lions (does that make them the Cubs?) Its a tough ground, but made memorable by Gerry Armstrong's winner for NI against Spain in the 1982 World Cup.........a bygone era when shorts were tight, shirts were shiny and Bris Vegas wasn't making waspish comments (not having been born yet). I predict a 2-0 to Spain, with the Cubs having a go and being gallant but predictable losers. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I still think it’s a new Carrick we need rather than a new Gazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 The game is held in Seville at Real Betis’ stadium, Betis have a beautiful stadium. Would highly recommend for people to go there in a league match. The Seville Derby of Real Betis and Sevilla is one of the best derbies in the world for atmospheres. As for the game, I’m going to go for a high scoring draw. I can see complacency creeping into the Spanish team with them being so far clear in front in the group.

Pfft... 125/1 with William Hill for a 3-3 with 55/1 for a 2-2. Get your cash on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Just find this whole tourny a bit meh, tbh. Can't see the point. Euros and the WC great, but this just seems like a pointless bolt-on to me. Hope Southgate at least plays some youth tonight. Watching Henderson and Dier in midfield last week was well..... dire!

Nothing can be worse or more mundane than the friendlies of recent years. At least there's some element of competition involved and hopefully reduces the chances of a complete team swap at half time.

At least we'd get to see what Maddison, Sancho and even Mason can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 This really isnt the Spain team of old, they'll play the same way but the quality of players is so much lower than it has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Booking Dier so early opens up the expectation of midfield substitutions. Hope Mason gets on for the second half. Meanwhile, stunning Michael Owen style goal for Raheem Stirling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Brilliant from Pickford and Kane. Good for Rashford to get a goal. England defending well against a high-quality team and being devastating on the break. Good game. Mason would be better than Winks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
