He is!

Did he come on at half time?

Yes, good volley Rooney.

Refreshing to see a keeper catch a cross!

I think the draw for the Euros is December 12.


We're in Pot 1 among the top seeds. I have no idea why. We never seem to live up to it.

It's done on qualification campaigns for the last 3 tournaments with extra weighting given to the last two. 10 out 10 wins in the recent campaign and getting to World Cup 2014 pretty easily almost guarantees us a top seed.

I'm trying to adopt a more positive outlook for this tournament, we have got a decent group of youngsters. Whether Hodgson can get them playing a decent tune on a consistent basis is another matter.

Hodgson should be applauded for bringing in plenty of youngsters. Good to see and will be leaving a solid base of players when he leaves. Seems to have made the transition form the old guard to the new players very easily.

Scotland win 10-0

No, not the men. The women's team have thrashed Macedonia.

Our women got a win as well although we scored 9 goals less.


Absolutely pouring with rain. It must have played havoc with their hair afterwards.

Not sure Scottish women do their hair?

Sorry Rich!

I'm sure women's football is very strong in Macedonia.

I much prefer womens football to mens, these days.

good work out for England today. B&H parked the bus.

Selling fags outside the ground?

Women couldn't have generated the drama and reaction I witnessed yesterday.

Everton's defending for that equaliser was on a par in the women's game, took backing off to a whole new level.

Their mindset would have been the game is won, the referee is going to blow for full time any second.

Plus they'd over celebrated the Barkley goal for so long the concentration levels in the 98th minute of the game would have been at a low ebb.

Don't you just know that things are going to go horribly wrong for England now....
