No, it was a friendly.
From f365
"It is a fact worth repeating: Barcelona’s win percentage in all competitions when Samuel Umtiti starts is 83.8%; without him, it is 33.3%. They have won each of the 16 La Liga games he has started. "
Begrudge to say he's been shit
Not a bad stat! (I would retort with saying Sakho's win percentage when paired with Varane @ France is incredible - he's still not that good).
The question is who on earth were Barca playing at CB with Pique when Umitit is injured/suspended?
Mascherano/Mathieu I think?
Just looked it up mate, it was a 2002 WC qualifier.

I stand corrected Larry. As SG and Heskey had great games, you're right that Liverpool fans enjoyed it. Even ones not predisposed to enjoying English victories...
Can't remember. It was a very Liverpool-inspired performance: Gerrard, Heskey, Barmby, Owen, more on the bench, and we scored all the goals.
Still didn't really care, though
That England line-up isn't great but could still win a trophy if they had a decent manager. It's a more talented 11 than Portugal's from last summer or Greece's from 2004 and the Iceland team that beat England last summer.
Cup competitions can be won by dodgy teams but not by dodgy teams with dodgy managers. No point in getting rid of Southgate though because the FA have shown to be buffoons when appointing managers and will probably replace him with Stuart Pearce.

Both those teams were something England arent though, good as a team. Balanced, worked hard for each other and carried out a tactical plan to perfection.
That wont happen with England I'm afraid.
And getting to a quarter final with the likes of Hart, Eric Dier and Jake Livermore might be possible, but winning a trophy with them in the starting line up? Doubt it.
Lingard, Keane, Redmond etc arent exactly what you want to build your team around either.

If Greece could win with the Euro with their starting line up, then England could too if their front line was led by Kane.
When was the last time you saw an English team work like that for each other and carry out a tactical plan for 90 mins? Kane wont make much difference if the rest of the team isnt working.
When was the last time you saw a Greek team do it before 2006? It just takes one magical run with players who actually work hard, and get all the breaks, to win a cup ...
Well, they played like that under Rehagel leading up to the Euros if I remember correctly. Finished top of the qualification group ahead of Spain.
If England can find the right manager, then maybe.
I actually thought that the English formation and front 3 were really quite effective in the first half last night. I think Southgate showed more of a sense of current tactical theory in that game than England saw in the entire tenure of Budgie. Though that is not particularly high praise.
Sterling down injured *worried face*

No Griezmann?
Interesting to see Vardy in a 433 linking with Lallana and combing for a goal within minutes. Certainly one for Klopp to think about.

Where's their best player?
I'm assuming you mean Grizemann and not Sakho.
Impressive
I thought that was Bobby Charlton's reserve
What a totally fucking ridiculous, smugly pious over-reaction all that media coverage was anyway. They didn't fucking attack anyone, or make monkey chants.
They just did what that particular sad, dismal and embarrassing minority of England fans always do.
"No surrender to the IRA"
"Two world wars"
"Dambusters"
The Greatest Hits of an ever-decreasing small bunch of 50 year old bald men with diabetes and size 46' denims, carrying their "Pride of Bath"/ "Super Wolves"/ "Forever Millwall" "Hull Forever" flags around from place to place, before returning to their resentful broken families and labouring jobs.
Who fucking cares?
Whilst you are correct in most of your post, unfortunately it's not an ever-decreasing bunch of 50 year old bald men... that are singing those songs. Luckily it is a minority, but a younger generation are also singing them. I remember watching an England vs Germany match in the world cup in 2010 at the local pub, it was fucking terrible the singing from the younger generation, and that was just at a pub.
