Spain were being seriously talked up again as well and so this is a big result for our young team. And if nothing else this result will mean we should stay top tier as well so all good. 2 minutes ago, BobBobSuperBob said: Very impressed by Chilwell Take him over Rose and Shaw Yep been very assured.

Explained the rules of cricket about 15 times that summer! Everyone was hooked. Average viewing was 6-7m I think. On Sky its less than 2m. Short term financial gain for long term participation pain My son is 8 and has barely watched any cricket (or golf) on TV. By his age I would have been up to 100s of hours already Spot on. I think we’re basically the same person Dave. My son (7) knows only the basics of cricket...by his age I was watching test matches. In fact I don’t think I saw us win a series until I was 15!

Gazred Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Couple more stats from the game... First time Spain have conceded 3 goals at home in a competitive game. England's youngest starting line up since 1959. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After years of disappointment and the occasional trip / game that’s so bad I sometimes wonder why I bother, along comes that tonight and you realise it’s all worth it. I expected us to get no points from these two away games, so to come away with four is very pleasing. And Seville has to be one of the best cities for an away trip. Highly recommended.

WessexPest Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Well done, England! I was fairly vocal in my criticism of Sterling on here a couple months back - to the posters who begged to differ I humbly apologise and as I said at the time I think (hope I did anyway), I’m delighted to be proven wrong. This isn’t a pop at anyone on here but fans in general - those of us who have stuck with the national team through thin and thinner feel slightly smug given the semi-final appearance at the WC and this result - when we’ve had an endless chorus from fairweather fans of “I don’t care about England any more, they are torture to watch, I turn the channel when they come on, yadda yadda yadda.” I bet these bandwagon-jumping types are the first to buy waistcoats and all that jazz when it’s fashionable to support England again. Forgive me if those of us who have stuck with them while they toil in Montenegro, Glasgow and Vilnius treat those “fans” pretty much with contempt. lovely to see a City flag in Seville to end on a positive note.

WessexPest Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 One caveat I will add though is I still r main to be convinced of the merits of this Nations League palava.

BessexRED Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I’m glad 3 at the back has been ditched. It was a great short term fix and worked in the world cup as our fixtures were somewhat favourable but Walker at centre half was a failed experiment, Stones and Maguire/Gomez works and we have an excellent choice of full backs now. Still not sure on the midfield, I’m a big fan of Henderson but not in the same midfield as Dier. We missed a player like Maddison at the World Cup, some creativity in midfield — hopefully him and Barkley between them can play the more advanced role, not sure where Alli fits, maybe alongside Henderson much like in the summer. Love what Southgate’s doing, **** me we have a lot of exciting young players coming through the ranks atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling showing how good he really is too. This will hopefully shut many of his critics up. I have criticised Sterling’s performances for England in the past. Happy to say that he was excellent last night against Spain. Hope the goals give him confidence to keep knocking them in at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have come a long way since the disaster against Iceland, I actually look forward to watching England these days. I recall the exact date when watching England started to get dull. 7th October 2006. After the 2006 World Cup, the qualifiers for the Euros began. I was at Old Trafford for this game, and I was so bored and the players appeared not to give a toss. All of a sudden, watching England became a chore rather than something I enjoyed. Before this date, me and my mates would make a whole day of watching England playing, this would be for all games, qualifiers, friendlies, tournaments. After this match, it turned into "oh are England playing later?" when it came to non tournament matches. Since Southgate took over, he has bought more excitement into our game and has done wonders with blending the younger players into the squad whilst also keeping their feet on the ground not to get too carried away. The front 3 of Rashford - Kane - Sterling could be devastating over the next few years. They are 20 ,25 and 23, so many years left in them.
