Maybe Sterling. Walker has the accuracy of a blunderbuss fired by a blacked out Spaniard. Not sure about lallana.

If Michael Bradley can take a corner England can find somebody other than their biggest scoring threat.

Who is being sacrificed for this Rooney midfield experiment? Barkley? It doesn't seem to have been worth it.

Barkley had a awful season so not sure if its him but that's a good question.

Wilshere maybe based on the sub. They can mess around with starting Rooney where they did mainly due to the uninspiring options otherwise I guess.

England have three games to play in this competition so it would be pretty optimistic to start Wilshire in the first game and expect him to still be fit by the Slovakia game.

USMNT gritty AF in the second half after dumbass Yedlin got sent off. Time to get slaughtered by Brazil.

Never mind. Great opportunity to get a win against a beatable team in Seattle. Huge home field advantage for USMNT.

Lol@Brazil
Controlling Ecuador on the wings is going to be very difficult. Especially without Yedlins recovery speed. He's not positionally sound but it's hard not to imagine we could have used his wheels to chase back on a few occasions with Montero and Valencia on the flanks.

Yeah I was going to say this isn't the Brazil of old. Just a very bad team. Absolute garbage strikers. Garbage midfield. Weak fullbacks. A average number 10. Average wingers.

Good thing Neymar sat out so they could bomb out of the umpteenth tournament in a row.

Hahaha yep. I just wonder what happened to their player development. No great strikers are coming up. No great number 10s or fullbacks either. All use to be the hallmark of Brazil. Crazy. Kind of similar to what has happened to the Dutch.
