    You know on second thoughts you might be right. I hope though we don't pick up any injuries in a frantic game against England.

    Is it possible for someone to be suspended for the Scotland game if he got sent off against England?
    I'm not talking about 2 yellows etc. I mean something crazy like a punch/stamp

    Exactly
    however it's not about grooming children, but some other meaning which I have never come across before, in this context catholic = progressive.

    Hodgson selected "three potential new caps to add to 29 awarded to date, confirmed his catholic selection tastes."

    I'd say he was deliberately going for the confusion there.

    In light of Hodgson having awarded first caps to 29 players and having called up another three potential debutants for this squad, I think it makes sense within the small-'c' definition of the word which seems to pertain to a sense of broad inclusivity (although that's not a definition with which I've been all that familiar either):

    I thought it was only us who had Catholic selection tastes!

    Now you know better Danny,
    If ever a woman says to you that she has catholic tastes, don't be put off.

    English FA on high alert for potential crowd trouble.

    The assistant Chief Constable Mark Roberts said the problem had been so pronounced during England’s games in Italy, Scotland, Estonia and Switzerland that “additional enforcement measures” were being re-introduced, for the first time in four years, before the match in Dublin on 7 June.

    Will be interesting to see what sort of crowd turns up for this and whether MON will start with the team he intends to start against Scotland. Any idea how many tickets were allocated to England?
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    US scores thrice to complete comeback and beat Netherlands 4-3. You fine chaps must be stunned. What do people refer to them as? "The Dutch", "Netherlands", or "Holland"? Why do they have so many names? And who ratted out the Frank family? That was mean.

    The Guardian listed our 'probable' team as:

    Given
    Coleman
    O'Shea
    Wilson
    Ward
    Walters
    Whelan
    McCarthy
    McGeady
    Murphy
    Long

    I hope they're wrong!

    Looks a standard 4-4-2 with very little creativity. I'd prefer Brady left back, Walters somewhere other than the wing and Westwood in goals. I've kind of accepted the latter will actually happen though.

    Just doing a cursory search, I think it will be only the 2nd time in history a team starts 4 players who's last name begins with the letter W.

    Ward is doubtful for the England match according to the latest reports.

    Eyes will be firmly fixed on the players during the anthems to see if anyone will do a Warren Barton.
