Norway v England - KO 7.45 UTV

MagicMarker

Hodgson's first test as England manager, predictions?

Professional Griefer

They're testing goal line technology in this game arent they?

Handy enough win for England.

#England line-up tonight v Norway: Green, Jones, Baines, Gerrard, Jagielka, Lescott, Milner, Parker, Carroll, Young, Downing

#England subs: Kelly, Hart, Henderson, Barry, Oxlade Chamberlain, Walcott, Defoe, Adam Johnson. #EC

Oranage2

3-0 to England

Hodgson has a certain spark about him being able to get the best out of players as well as being very good defensively organised, I reckon they'll have a very good Euros under him.

Next game at Wembley apparently, or so I've been told.

That England lineup would not have me quaking in my boots, if I was the Norway manager.

Green
Jones Lescott Jagielka Baines
Milner Parker
Young Gerard Downing
Carroll

It's not going to set the world alight, that's for sure, but should still get a result...

Is Welbeck injured? Strange he's not on the bench...

SirDelboy18

They will supposedly be going 4-4-1-1.

Personally i'd like to see Roy do well

whatnext

Does anyone get what I'm on about or do I need a new TV

England to win easily.

The media to subsequently hail Roy and to big up Englands chances of winning the Euro's.

Step 1 completed.

''And it's Gerrard, who goes long to Carroll'' X 100,000

Really good interview from Gerard.

bwatson

Quite funny to see the studio analysts talking about how terrible it is for players to ignore the call from their country and have Keane sitting there quietly in the corner, looking at the floor for a couple of minutes.

Spoke well. Gave a good account of where England realistically are. In studio then Adrian interprets it as England are going to win everything!

I've heard this game between managers Egil Olsen and Roy Hodgson being described as a "tactical black hole" on twitter.

:D:D

I think that Chiles might just have been making that comment in a light hearted manner....

Ah he probably was to be fair to him.

When Roy mentioned the players to come back into the squad is that just the Chelsea players?

Phoenix Park

Peter Reid just said Downing is 22/23 years old. Hasn't a fcking clue.

ITV must be the worst channel of all for football, even worse then TV3 and 3E.

cesc77

Think Peter Reid just said there about Downing....hes only 22,23 isnt he?

No,was the response,I think hes 27 from Southgate.

:pac::pac::pac:

Reidy,out of the game much?

King Kenny ditto:D

kitakyushu

The England players look darling with their little roses. :pac: Let's hope they don't wilt.

Peter Reid is trending worldwide now!

Looking forward to seeing some of the Norwegian players for the first toime. Henriksen/Demidov especially.

It suits the ability of Rob Green to a tee then.

MagicMarker

Should have scored.

Paully D

Shocking miss from Andy Carroll.

steelcityblues

Commentary sounds like it is ahead of the picture.

decisions

Should be 1-0

cesc77

Carroll didnt want to score as that would mean a Downing assist.

Andy Carroll,he doesnt score when he waaaaaants....:)

The outfield strip has a school uniform-y feel about it.

Good there from Downing. Carroll should do better.

Fishooks12

Thought Carroll did very well to even get a head on that considering the ground he had to cover

Nice goal Marlo.

smallerthanyou

Goal from Young. And a very good goal at that!

MagicMarker

Way too easy for Young!

decisions

Good finish.

ollie1

Great goal by Young

Paully D

Nice goal from Young that. Poor from Hangeland getting beat like that though.

kitakyushu

Terrible defending there. The two CB's just left it to each other. More worried about what Gerrard might have done than actually blocking Young.

Fishooks12

Good finish, awful defending though

steelcityblues

Carroll will be distracted by the 'pork pies' sign.

JaMarcus Hustle

Henriksen could not look more Scandinavian if he tried.

Norway are putting 8 or 9 behind the ball. Yes its only a friendly, but if your opponent are going to do such a thing should you really be needlessly rash and leave yourself open to the counter attack?

Besides, they're one up against a decent side and are away from home. Not exactly a disaster.

Hank Scorpio

Good run from Milner there, better chance of scoring than passing to Carroll

Carroll is a donkey.
