England turkey (1 Viewer)

Kane's was decent, possibly offside. Could have had one before that.

Theirs wasn't our greatest defence moment.

Sure they'll show them both about 50 times at half time.

They should have scored almost immediately after Kane's goal but for a block by I think Walker. Bit of a sloppy game all round, didn't realise that was Turkey's first ever goal against us though.

We look OK going forward but when Turkey are testing our defence you worry what will happen against tougher opposition.

All this poor crossing and long range shots are getting tedious.

Typical England friendly, good start then a borefest.

It's the only way teams like this can play. Wilshire and Sterling particularly targeted.

Here's my view. Why would anyone want to wear this at a football match? A banning order is the only suitable punishment.

How to they organise the white and red cross CJ? Is it on the tickets or...?

Almost as bad as half and half scarves

Anyone else hear the commentators list the changes being made for the euros around officials and decisions they get to make?

Injured player doesn't have to go off if the offender is booked

No red card for taking a man down in the box, as penalty enough punishment

Some others I can't recall but seemed a lot of changes all at once. Wouldn't be so bad but some officials struggle to get the basics right with the rules as they are

Like the lino today for Kane's goal

As for their manager having a mobile confiscated for watching the replays to prove it was offside :joyful::joyful:

Here's the list of changes:

aw 1 - the field of play

Logos permitted on corner flags (previously banned).

Mix of artificial and natural surfaces allowed on field of play (previously banned).

Law 3 - the players

If a substitute, sent-off player or match official interferes with play, causing the game to be stopped, it will result in a direct free-kick or penalty (previously indirect free-kick or drop-ball).

If a substitute, team official or outside agent stops a ball going into the goal, the referee can apply the advantage rule and award a goal.

Law 4 - the players' equipment

Players wearing undershorts or tights have to make sure they are the same colour as those worn by any team-mates - and they must also match their shorts.

A player leaving the field of play to change their boots can only be allowed back on by the referee.

Law 5 - the referee

Referees have the authority to take action from when they enter the field of play for the pre-match inspection, not from the start of the game - which means players could be sent off for an offence committed while warming up. But yellow cards can only be issued from the start of the match.

Players injured by opponents who are then sent off do not need to leave the pitch for treatment.

Law 7 - duration of the match

Time taken for drinks breaks can now officially be added on at the end of a game.

Law 8 - the start and restart of play

The ball no longer has to move forward at a kick-off - it just has to move for the game to start.

Referees should not 'manufacture' dropped ball situations, in terms of who takes them, or the outcome.

Law 10 - Determining the outcome of a match

Deciding which end a penalty shootout should take place is to be done by a coin-toss, subject to condition of the pitch, or safety concerns. It is no longer the referee's choice.

A team with more players than the other when the shootout starts must reduce the number of takers so they have the same number of eligible players - this will stop teams who have had a player sent off having their better penalty takers available sooner.

Law 11 - offside

Hands and arms are not included when judging offside.

Free-kicks for offside can be taken from where the offside player received the ball.

Law 12 - fouls and misconduct

Indirect free-kicks used to be awarded when restarting games following offences against match officials. But lawmakers thought this sent out the wrong message, so they have upped it to a direct free-kick

A free-kick or penalty can only be awarded while the ball is in play.

Denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity in the penalty area is no longer a straight red card - unless the offence is holding, pulling or pushing; there's no attempt to play or no possibility of making a challenge; or it's an offence which is punishable by a red card, no matter where on the pitch it happens - violent conduct, for example.

Violent conduct is punishable by a red card even if no contact is made.

An offence against a match official will result in a direct free-kick or penalty.

Law 13 - free-kicks

When fouls are committed off the pitch when the ball is in play, the match is restarted with a free-kick on the touchline nearest where the incident occurred. A direct free-kick will be awarded for direct free-kick offences - and a penalty could be awarded if it happens parallel to the penalty area.

Law 14 - the penalty kick

Players who feint to kick the ball once they have taken a run-up when taking a penalty will get booked for unsporting behaviour. Feinting in the run-up is allowed. And goalkeepers who come off their line too early will also be booked.

Law 15 - the throw-in

Opposing players who try to impede a throw-in will be cautioned if they are standing under two metres away.

Law 17 - the corner kick

The wording has been changed in the laws to say: "The ball is in play when it is kicked and clearly moves." This is to stop players "unsportingly" touching the ball and pretending the corner has not been taken, to gain an advantage.

Glad they didn't reel them all off. Although there's been enough lack of action I'm sure they'd have found time

Not the best of games, but the front two of Vardy and Kane does look exciting! Just a shame we don't really have a settled midfield behind them

Started well but then as the tackles went flying in the whole team rightfully backed off. Not worth it with a tourney coming up. Should be noted that their two best players weren't playing. A win's a win though. More than happy with what I saw aside from Sterling's contribution. Given the choice I'd take Rashford.

still dont like
sterling, lallana and unfit henderson and wiltshire

havent we learnt over and over NOT to take players coming back off injuries

rooney has to start in middle, first time ever he'll be fit at a tournament , and is a lot stronger than lallana, hendo and sterling

my midfield looks boring but dier, milner, rooney, ali is our 'strongest' the other players will be kicked up in the air and out of a game
we need to man up

Don't think we look awful or anything, but I can't see us getting too far into the euro. We look fairly average.

Good, we may surprise then. How many times have we looked good before tournaments, then been rubbish.

Only one way to go, up
