Dark days have returned for Wales, make no mistake about that. Qualify for the Euros? Yerevan a laugh.

[gerrardisgod]

How many of Kane's England goals have been pens? 

19, I think.

All against muck too, probably.

[MBL?]

Looks like the hot weather training hasn’t done Ireland much good and it’s not even that hot out there.

Bellingham’s going to be great back up to Trent for England when he’s back from his knee surgery

Is this Trent's first goal for England?

Useless factoid: Emile Heskey's first goal for England was also against Malta.

Competitive yes. He scored against the US in a friendly.

So about 35% of his goals then. Christ.

Ah ok, thanks. Had a feeling he might try his luck from distance today at some point.

Friendly before Euro 2000 I think. Fuck knows how I know that!

[gerrardisgod]

A goal when aged one and a half? Impressive.

[ScubaSteve]

Is it the England fans playing that dreadful music!

[MBL?]

2-1 Greece

Real paucity of talent nowadays in reality.

Rice and Grealish were ones that got away.

Most talent we’ve had in years. Still not great though.

2-1 Greece

Fucking dreadful defending for that goal. Christ almighty.

Yep, best we can hope for is a draw. They have decided to sit back again after scoring.

[Fromola]

Mostly Championship players though. Only a couple playing in PL this season.

Indeed. We'd just signed him, so there was some anticipation for him breaking his duck for England.

As for me, I remember because I was there.

Years later, it was alleged that England chose to come to Malta for a pre tournament friendly as part of an attempt to get the Malta FA to support England's bid to host the 2006 World Cup.

[Bobinhood]

Trent scores that belter and Kane bitches at Maddison for not putting it in front of him first. Trent hits an insane outside of his foot that Maddison cant bring down because he starts late. Maddison points at the sky "too high".  Foden does the "what? what? thing at fatty for id even know why.  Trent calls for the ball pickford doesnt even look at him.

everyone on this team hates everyone else on this team and most of them are total suckholes. Trent's pretty good though.

[Gerry Attrick]

Could be worse, Irish fans. You could be like Wales and getting drilled by some electricians at home

I always love how nonchalant he is (not that I’m watching this game) but just in general around England, like it’s so easy for him, and if they don’t get that and don’t use him, then fuck ‘em.  He’s such a talent.

[Samie]

Look who's watching the game.   

[disgraced cake]

Look who's watching the game.   

Just need Trent to score again now and reveal a #WelcomeThuram shirt

[Bobinhood]

That was a real test for Apap.

[red1977]

Didn't know England were playing, had a quick look at the squad, its some squad to be honest, midfield and attack especially. Trent looks to be killing it in midfield.

[Schmidt]

Trent looks knackered, looks like he could be the next LFC player to get unnecessarily run into the ground by a prick England manager.

Has hasn't played for two weeks and been chilling, how is he knackered?

cos he’s been partying non stop of course!

[Funky_Gibbons]

Never a pen.

[wampa1]

Miss it on purpose, if you have decency.

[gerrardisgod]

He plays for the Saudis, so that’s out.

[Fromola]

Pengland.

Fuck off Southgate leaving Trent on.

[Schmidt]

There's a reason we usually book friendlies in whenever we have a few weeks off to keep everyone match fit, plus he's coming off the back of a couple of pretty grueling seasons.

[Bobinhood]

its ok its a good practice game in the mid for him.
