No way Hodgson should ring the changes, we have a great route to the semi final if we win the group, this is not an effing freindly

Got a feeling he won't make as many changes as he's hinting at. Could be pre match mind games.

Think Vardy and Sturridge will definitely start and poss Henderson for Ali. My guess is Rooney will start, but will be subbed at some point or if the games in the bag.

Have you seen the quality on the bench?

Personally I have absolute faith in Roy, he's done everything the fans and pundits have asked by picking youth more or less across the board, he's got them playing well and has picked players on form, almost the entire 23 are in form, Sterling and a very tired Kane aside.

Trust the guy, he knows what he's doing.

Slovakia have 3 points, Slovakia need at least 1 point to practically assure advancement. That worries me some.

Also, some teams flub up one game, often it's the first one, jitters.

But England can't mess this up; or Roy's really in the hot seat, sure, England will advance no matter what.

Their chances of not advancing if they were to lose is about 8%.

England beating Wales was the key result in this group, we're through already, and hopefully a victory tonight ensures we go through in 1st place.

I won't be watching the game but I hope Wale send the Russians home, for a variety of reasons, but can you imagine the shame of a country the size of Wales sending Russia with 140m people home.

Come on Wales :tu:

I know they are no mugs but we're playing Slovakia. The team he has picked should be able to beat them with a fair bit to spare. Some of the players he has brought in are the same ones that folk have been clamouring for. Tournament management.

(It could blow up in his face, right enough lol)

I just dont really buy that you need to rest players for a maximum of a seven game tournament, especially when we have been so dominant the players have strolled around without breaking a sweat.

Ive defended Hodgson but this is very odd.

Bloody hell he made all the changes. We better win or the knives will be out. Bold move.

Not bold at all, look at the players that are coming in, quality in every position.

This team sends out a message and deals with tired legs/yellow cards, players want to prove a point so give them a reason and save legs.

This is Slovakia not Spain and I applaud Roy for doing something different, doing the norm has not worked in 50yrs, I'm ready for something different.

Six changes is pretty ballsy. Especially as two of those changes were in the full back positions where I felt we were the strongest incidentally....

Not sure if too many changes but then since some third place teams go through (given any place with a population of over 500 people is on the tournament and only 2 go out at group stages - or something like that) the risk is minimal.

Personally I'd have just changed those there are no cover for or haven't performed. But we'll get ar least a draw and go through.

Wilshere struggling, Looking really short of match practice.


Is there any advantage to finishing 1st in the group as opposed to 2nd?

(I know if we get beat here and finish 3rd we could end up playing Germany or Spain next round).

If we win the group we play one of the 3rd place qualifiers.

Boring is the word.

Disappointed with the changes. Despite the players bring fairly similar in ability, tournament sides need to gel quickly. Chopping and changing means starting again and finding your feet each game.

I certainly wouldn't have dropped Walker, he was instrumental against Wales. Wilpshire has lost the ball with alarming regularity, and if Henderson didn't play for Liverpool (dining out on being Gerrard's replacement) he would be nowhere near the Engkand team. Drinkwater and Noble both better but don't play for trendy clubs.

Always looking to nick a game by the odd goal. You don't get points for possession.
