Devotees of gambit play will be pleased to note that England have gone with the Milner-Barry combination in midfield.

Very good. But I thought it was most effective against the French?

I noticed that commentators were worried about England's performance in the qualifiers. It's not the qualifiers they have to be worried about it is the main event where they play so poorly!

I thought Bulgaria were in with a chance for a while there, but then the game started :-)

In the last Euros they didn't have to worry about the main event at all.

Like many, I wonder whether it is no coincidence that those finals (2008) were by far the most exciting of recent years.
