All these peanuts picking Ryan as their starter for the world cup are on drugs. Retire already.

So it is a half past kick off after all the wrong information the FA and other channels kept reporting and changing back and forth.

It was honestly all over the place. First on the hour then socials reporting the start of the broadcast time then another 30min deviation. These USA games are brining back the Australian football fan times of old. Everyone else finally with their kind lunch time kick off.
 
Minimal turnout more reminiscent o those casual midweek London affairs. Don't mind it from time to time to be able to hear the pitch communication better. Those in the 11 know this is the only chance they'll get to impress. Venezuela team pretty unfamiliar.
 
Even in the first minute toy can already see Venezuela have something of an automatic calm shape while whenever we have the ball we've got this hectic ad hoc shape and movement. Can see Venezuela pressing hard in comparison.
 
Wouldn't mind trialling a hard press on 15min or some. Curious to see how we look breaking our shape but also putting pressure on the opponent.
 
How didn't that ball go in? Lovely pass by Goodwin and great glide by Toure. Promising.
 
Not impressed by the lack of our two centre mids seeking the ball in build up. Also Okon with some hectic turnovers in front of box.
 
thought we were going to hold the ball better after the first few minutes, caused a couple of chances too
 
Why? He's playing well in La Liga. Izzo shipped plenty of goals the past 3 weeks in Denmark and shouldn't be embellished by one good national team game.

Cost is the game against Argentina. Still bitter about that.

But besides that, stands rooted to the spot whenever a shot comes in more often then not and his passing is poor and scary at times.

He's had 2 world cups, on your bike.
