Teams wearing their away kit when there is no colour clash has been an increasingly common thing in recent times. I guess shirt manufacturers figure that they'll sell more away shirts if the team play in it somewhat regularly. In Scotland's case they'd probably sell more away shirts if they weren't fluorescent pink. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 God Scotland are terrible. England were so poor, there for the taking yet they won this comfortably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could make things a little more complicated looking up to try and cross a ball with players side-on to you i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 South gate being full time manager is going to go McClaren way I guarantee it. They missed a trick but not going for our brucie. Their loss our gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the point that you want opposing teams kits to clash? Would make things very complicated if they matched... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Next up, an international friendly. Absolutely zero point (literially) in the game. Should have been cancelled as nobody cares, fans, players, management, nobody. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 so far GS has said everything right for the FA to say "great, we found our yes-man" They should appoint him asap before the Spain game so that its too late to go back on the decision once we've had a football lesson from Spain C team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Seemingly all playing friendlies actually achieves is reducing your international ranking and increasing the chances that you fall into the next pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter the occasion I would always get excited at seeing England play. Even during those God awful Sven friendly shambles. Not now though, not anymore.

It can do that. It depends on certain criteria. Wales figured that out and have benefitted from carefully selecting when to play and when not to play.

VillaChris Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 They've done this the wrong way round...surely you play the friendly before the competitive game? What they could've done is play all the qualifiers on the Thursday and Friday, release the players that night...and then have a full midweek round of league fixtures on the Wednesday. Far too sensible though to ever work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think it's partly national glory hunting. It's no different than people who stop watching Villa when we weren't as good. Those people will likely watch again when we are decent, just like the people who "don't care" about the national team would watch if we were deep in a tournament.

There are some qualifiers tonight I think, England just have the round off, can't play league games because it's still the FIFA break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
