Did you watch the Oslo friendly?
Roy Hodgson played 4-4-1-1.
He’s realised how Young should be used
After England had won 1-0 with an early goal by Ashley Young, skipper Stevie G said, “We can play better than that.â€
I\’m sure they can play better than that.
But , obviously,you can only play as well as you\’re allowed to play by France and Sweden,who have far better players than Norway.
Myself, I want to see Oxlade combine with Rooney but those two may not start together in this calendar year, so I\’m not holding my breath on that one.
I\’m just saying: the best thing you can do for a footballer is to give him another footballer to play with.
I blogged France 98, which was a week after I first went online, and then did 2000 and 2002 plus 2004 in Portugal.
And then 2006 and 2008 and then the World Cup in 2010.
I\’ve just realised that I\’ve blogged seven tournaments on ANR.
I thought : Blimey! Is that enough?
Or should I do another one?
Euro 2012 is quite soon.
On Wednesday, June 6, England fly to their training camp in Poland.
Poland v Greece is on Friday June 8th
Germany v Portugal is on Sunday at 7.45pm,
France v England is on Monday June 11th at 5.
Two weeks today.
I searched for a piece I wrote years ago. Didn’t find it- I’m not a good searcher.
But I found that another blogger reprinted a 2006 piece I did.
It was titled Thierry Henry wishes Zidane was Bergkamp.
