Advertising boards - why in Italy are the advertising boards showing Pukka Pies, home insurance, Avon tyres..
Surely Italian TV are also showing this, and the advertising board are pointless to them? I could understand the boards in Wembley showing the UK specific ads...
The clever TV guys...Italy get Italian adverts, we get UK ones. Surely Italian TV are also showing this, and the advertising board are pointless to them? I could understand the boards in Wembley showing the UK specific ads...

I thought Italian TV might film from the other side with Region specific ads on the side we can't see
Watched live and listened to five live.
Danny mills is so full of crap.
Play the youngsters give them a chance...er no Danny that's what u20 and u21s are for. Thus by the time they get to senior level we should know what they can do.
Experiment up the pace friendlies are about performance not results...err well very good but what about the opposition Danny? If they're not bothered then ur stuffed.
Should u21s be sanctioned if they skip the summer tournament? Well hey let's put more pressure on the decision. I reckon if you qualify for the under 21s you should do anything to play in a major tourney with a good chance of success what an opportunity and then build from there.
1-1 tonight fair imho.

I only watched from 15 mins into the first half, during a period of play where the England players gave away possession with every header, even when under no pressure, yet without comment from the studio...perhaps it's the standard we aspire to today?
The Italians seemed to ooze class and pass with little or no effort, but accurately. Why is this beyond our 'bravehearts'?
The first goal was good (didn't see the equaliser until on the news) but Hart didn't seem to reach for the ball - in the slo-mo he is there following it but not inclined to reach out and actually stop it?
Still, plenty of time before we mop up the Euro's...

England still suffer from this inability to create angles for players to pass safely. The Italians, and most of the other major national teams, always have players moving to provide simple, safe passing options for anyone on the ball. England seem to fail miserably at this most basic of skills and, as a consequence, give the ball away too easily.

I was thinking exactly the same in the first half. The Italians easily passed the ball then straight away moved to create an angle to either receive a pass or create space by moving an opponent player. England look static and lacked serious movement. You could see the difference when Carrick came on. Always looking to receive the ball, and can actually pass forward with accuracy.

I didn't see the game so it's interesting seeing comments. Did you know england completed 530 passes compared to Italy completing 339.

Rooney should never have been made captain. If he's fit, then he has to play. Otherwise, 'questions will be asked'.
His first touch today was woeful!I'm sick to death of square pegs in round holes watching England. I can't believe we still do this. Jones at RB, Wilshere at DM. I shouldn't be listening to quotes after the game saying "I'm learning how to play the position"!
Pick a system, then pick the best players that play in those positions. It's so f
