Agree, our anthem is awful.

Equally, he could win the game for us too. Let's hope a week's training has fine tuned things nicely”

Hodgson mentioned Sterling and Lallana being wide with Rooney on the left side of midfield. By that I think he must've either meant left of Alli in a 4-1-4-1 with Dier sitting, or left of Dier in a 4-2-3-1.

Edit: Although I suppose the difference between 4-3-3 and 4-1-4-1 might not actually be much, particulalry if one of your midfield 3 in a 4-3-3 sits.

It is by far the best one ever, I wish we had one to match that, as theirs is really rousing.

Alli sacrificed for Rooney in this selection. He should be in the hole behind Kane and Vardy should be starting.

We do have a Queen though and it is her birthday today. The Russians have Putin

God save our Queen.

Spot on. The most stirring anthem v the least. Hopefully it will be the opposite on the pitch!

Do you think the England team having so many players from Tottenham could be a good thing

Early sighter for Alli.

Akinfeev was a bit of a liability for Russia in the last World Cup so it'll be interesting to see if he has any dodgy moments tonight.

Sure , why not . They know each other so well and had a great season . Some of their play was fabulous .

Seriously, Spain and Germany will annihilate this England defence. Can't see them defending admirably against a team who can pass the ball very well.

Bright enough start.

Hello all and thanks for the thread.

The Russian defence looks susceptible to balls over the top - promising for Vardy later, maybe?

I know it's frustrating to miss, and this might be least of the things a player thinks about, but I wish Alli would watch his mouth, as surely kids are watching and need to set an example in an England shirt.
