Tempting fate obviously, but the standard of refereeing in all the games I've seen so far has been outstanding I think.
I would say more odd than outstanding, whereby they have become somewhat more lenient (which is no bad thing) then after c.70 minutes they start booking people for what appear to be completely innocuous stuff? |

I went birdwatching instead and got soaked.
Good result.
Did you spot anything interesting? |

Better than the standard of goalkeeping |

Both games were crying out for Vardy, Woy finally realised that at half time yesterday. As harsh as it is to drop Kane, I wouldn't play him against Slovaks.. Sturridge also made a big impact and was instrumental for picking it up deeper & driving at the defence

Weird you say that and i know he scored but he didn't actually do much else did he. I think people expected Vardy out wide and Sturidge up top |

Kane looks burnt out. The long season has caught up with him.

Vardy did look off the pace a bit other than scoring, Sturridge seemed to play in the hole rather than up front and looked fairly comfortable and wanted the ball all the time, but he was a bit greedy at times. I would prefer Vardy instead of Sterling though any day. I agree with Arriba that Kane looks totally burnt out, which is such a shame for England. |

Think a lot of people forget Kane played at under 21s last year as well. Poor bloke is dead on his feet

Tournament football so no time for loyalty to players. Both Kane and sterling are not currently worthy of a game. Drop the pair of them.
Strikers are there to score goals. Everything else is irrelevant if they do score and the team wins.

Interesting you say that Sturridge just seems a little desperate/greedy (delete as appropriate) and just drives forward and either blazes it over the bar or gets tackled (a kind of Barkley/Sterling with more chance of end product), that said a goal may get his confidence up and make him play more of a team game with less to prove now, plus he has god on his side as he told Gabby Logan repeatedly - he would have been perfect for Hoddle on that front! It was good the rest of the team jumped on him and stopped him doing his twatish celebration  |

When fit and before anyone says it i know it is very rarely but when fit Daniel Sturridge is the best striker we have.

Depends what system we are playing and how fit he actually is, but hopefully now he has a goal he will calm down a bit and integrate his game with the team as he should be playing. I agree that Kane looks proper shattered, I image Spurs will be fairly pleased if he is kept out the team for a while.... |
