Watching the cricket, is the Scotland game not on anywhere?

Powerpost.

Enjoying watching Sterling. No doubt he's a massive twat too, but at least he's playing with pace and intent and looks excited to be out there.

Sterling and Sturridge are the only two that I'd actually like to see play in Brazil.

I thought Sturridge looked like he was being played wildly out of position in the 1st half, and has been pretty quiet in the second.

This is a god-awful game.

Don't think the game's been that bad, think England have been the better team, think Sterling is dogshit and I don't know why his hasn't been taken off yet.

Oh and Schmeichel is playing like Schmeichels do.

I think we've played some decent stuff at times. Just need to be a little quicker in seeing/playing the pass.

I've somehow been tempted to turn it on, it hasn't looked any worse than most other England friendlies tbf. I think Sterling's still on so Tyldesley can confuse him with Sturridge, who btw Wellbeck might have passed to a couple of times

1-0 to Scotland in Poland ft actual w

Deserved goal for England there.

Andy Townsend gives MOTM to Raheem Sterling.

I'm going to need a few minutes to pick the right emoticon here

As expected, an average performance.

Shaw and Llalana look decent. Good header from Sturridge.

If Henderson and Gerrard are first choice they need to track back a bit better as we were caught knapping a few times with runners from their midfield.

Or just admit you might have been a little out with your analysis?

I wouldn't make him MOTM, but dogshit he hasn't been. There's a reason he got a decent reception when he was subbed.

ITV coverage massively improved with Hoddle in there.

Shaw looked good. I'd pick him over Cole.

We'll need a new right back soon. Johnson looking a bit off the pace. Not sure who though.

Schmeichel looked excellent and until the goal was my MOTM.

The defence is still a worry for me, a better side would have easily scored against England tonight.

Rooney needs to sharpen up a bit, he can't live on past glories for ever more.

Lallana & Shaw easy worth a place in the squad, Gerrard & Henderson look pretty good in front of the back four.

Sturridge & Sterling were both ok, they do have a tendency to over do it with the tricks though.

Right on cue, the Liverpool fan boys spring into action. I'm sure Victor Meldrew will be along soon to claim he's better than Beckham.

I think he's a limited player and Oxlade-Chamberlain is a much better option out wide. That's it.

And I don't hate Liverpool before you start - Sturridge is on fire in general and I thought Gerrard and Johnson both had good games tonight.

I thought Gerrard was a bit hit and miss tbh. Prefer him to Lampard though.
