This is a warm up game for a more important international England have a couple days later, so don't expect England to be at full tilt.

They'll probably still destroy them though.

I don’t know about that, zzzzz.

Some on here have short memories. When England got caned 20 years ago in London 1-3 by Straya (scorers Popovic, Kewell and Emerton), they had no less than Beckham, Lampard, Ferdinand, Scholes, Owen and others in their lineup.

The English media was scathing in their comments, rightfully crucifying their Swede Manager Eriksson. I hope they “rest” most of their current stars for their game against Italy next Wednesday.

Half time, 0-0 with Australia unlucky with 3 very good chances and Strain’s shot beating England’s goalie but saved on the line by a desperate defender. Goodwin providing some good crosses from the left.

zzz 💤 wouldn’t know because it is getting it’s “beauty” sleep 😴 .

Is that really an accurate commentary on the first half? :lol:

Tell the full story, how many of those names were on the pitch in the second half?

This time, we rested all the starting line up and still won.

The post was literally about football. I know you try and point score against me but as usual you've scored an own goal.

Better luck next time.
