It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

KERCHIINNGGG!!!! Henderson is still shite.

Vardy brilliant.

Vas is dis?

Ze Englander opposition vinning??

Iss verboten unser €uropen lawz!

Howz zat ..?..to put it in cricket terms.....well it's a friendly but that was an impressive comeback by England....could have been 4-3 to England....or 3-3.....but you have to say we deserved to win !...that's how good that performance is....RH and GN have a very very good squad that can get even better....it's not perfect far from it but England can take teams apart...the thing is to improve defensively....must work on that and freekicks.....need to prepare some cunning balls round the back of walls with one-twos...that sort of thing watching the offside of course.....tremendous by the England players tonight...bravo....of course the Germans will be their usual selves next summer but we might not bump into them.....but I have to think that German team might be past their best....

Just scratching my head for the England/ Holland game. :-))

Chris gone for Northern Ireland/ Slovenia - Northern Ireland to win and 3 or more goals in the match @ 4/1

BBc news -

Slovenia, who lost out to Ukraine in the play-offs for Euro 2016, defeated Macedonia 1-0 in a friendly on Wednesday thanks to a goal from Roman Bezjak.

That results means they have now lost just once in their last six outings, though their away form does not allow for a huge amount of optimism. 2-0 wins away to San Marino and Lithuania have punctuated a run of nine defeats with just three goals scored in 11 games on the road.

Half time


Northern Ireland 1 Conor Washington

Slovenia 0

FULL-TIME: Northern Ireland 1-0 Slovenia

Not good ...only saw second half.....why play the B team...?.....isn't it best to play your best with minimal changes ...too bad if others don't get a game...we always do this and it's a mistake.....several players should never never have played tonight....I hate to say it but as good as the German game was this is not good enough...Erickson...was terrible for changes....that's a game we should have won....ok the second dutch goal should not have counted...

Very poor performance from England. We should off had 4 or 5. No fire in them. Vardy played well.

Vardy is superb....but the way to the championships is a steady team....right there are injuries ; that can't be helped but what the hell were the defenders doing at the end...you have to pressurise the other team specially when you are losing...no we had players walking around like they were 3-0 up.....too many changes and this is what you get....the newcomers or back from injury don't need to play...they will get that in the premiership anyway.....disappointing....not impressed with the crowd either...Wembley should be rocking....not all sat there like mummies....

8/10 for the German game for England and tonight 4.5/10......(there are half points)....(sorry to be such a bossyboots)...

(You can see how difficult it will be to get a ten/ten).....I shall be awarding points from now on.......

If you want to change a lot...bring on Andorra or Luxembourg (no disrespect).....the FA could organise a game with a minnow on the road to the finals so that all the players could have a game but surely not against the Netherlands for pete's sake......agghhhh.....

I think the crowd were falling asleep with the poor midfield play of just passing backwards and forwards and not advancing towards the goal. England are not capable of a 10.
