In the 28 years I've been on this planet I don't think I've ever been entertained watching an England game.

You're welcome, England.
I don't know, the Iceland game was pretty entertaining.

Not even Euro 96?

Or Germany 1-5 England
Sure, England are usually turgid to watch these days, but come on
Its pretty obvious from his statement that he's not watched them particularly often.
And is very young.
Edit, oh he says he's 28. Must have got into football a few years ago then.
I was 8 when this happened and I'll never forget a minute of it.
I remember it all so vividly. Sat eating a Chinese takeaway with my extended family. Remember when internationals brought people together?
There's even a piece of graffiti on the side of an arcade in my hometown that reads 'England 5-1 Germany' that's still there.
Fuck it, I even remember our exits in 2002, 2004 and 2006 fondly in a bittersweet way.
We'd love to go out of tournaments to Portugal on penalties nowadays.
Jesus Christ. Does he think it's Game of Thrones or something?
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It's not just me.
I fucking hate his commentary. He always has to try and go way over the top with his shit.
And the nominees for most asinine, puerile, masturbatory piece of commentary in 2016 are...
Peter Drury - "Through English eyes the world is a safer, better place. Two goals clear of the raiders from the north."
Clive Tyldesley - "Justice for the England Eleven!"

I was in a pub. This makes me feel so old!

That's a great shout. Yeah.
I was a bit too young to fully appreciate Euro '96. Although I do remember that Scotland game fondly. I should have remembered that last night.
2 games in 28 years. My mistake.
Oh, and that Holland game now I think about it. Shearer and Sheringham.
3 games in 28 years.

Why does he wear the mask!?
At least you guys have consistently challenged for and won major competitions in the last 20-30 years.
Also, you hosted the WC 10 years ago which is a pretty fun time; I mean, I have zero interest in athletics but I absolutely loved us hosting the Olympics. I really hope with the stadiums and infrastructure we have in Britain, we can host a tournament sooner rather than later.
Legends. I never thought Schweinsteiger was able to play what he did from 2010 to 2014. 3 CL finals in 4 years with him and the glorious WC 2014 leading in midfield. Lahm is a robot though.
2010 to 2014 was a magical. I think it will take some time if we ever achieve something similar. we should get used to the fact that everyone was just playing perfectly, combined with a generation that had to prove something.
ancelotti took over many great players. while the older ones already one most of the stuff, the young ones still need some time. the team needs also to find themselves.
Could thrive under Koeman. Mou doesn't develop players, he destroys them.
I'd say that aswell. But if one trainer was the best option for Depay it was LVG. That didn't work either.
There was nothing for Mou to destroy, Depay has been absolute trash. The premier league has just been above his level. He moves in slow motion out there, he tries to pull off a million different things instead of playing a simple game. The few times he has looked good is against weaker European opposition.

13-11-2002! Exactly 14 years ago, #Schweinsteiger and #Lahm celebrated their debuts for #Bayern
Love the look of the old Munich Olympic Stadium. But how on earth is that no sell-out crowd?
Love how you quoted me with something Blablurn wrote ^^
Mou will make it a 2 for 1 deal. Buy Schweinsteiger and get a Rooney for free.

After the corner Aspas took in that Chelsea game, he shouldn't be allowed to play football again!

Lallana nooooooo
Didn't look serious so hope he's under Klopps orders to be extra cautious.
