    A borefest won with an own goal or the mighty Lions run riot? Who knows, not me.

    England to win 1-0 and me comatose on the sofa by half time.

    In the words of the stingray voiceover...'anything can happen in the next half hour!' (or hour and a half)

    Should be a more entertaining game than the Andorra one as Serbia will be going for it I imagine

    I’ve been doing some decorating so I think I’m gonna watch the paint dry… Far more entertaining and probably more exciting.

    I’ll give it a go but can’t promise I’ll view any longer than the 5 minutes I managed on Saturday. Watching paint dry is far more stimulating.

    Yeah well done Basil, an Ingerland match thread. :rolleyes:
    So come on Lions, I think there's a few things to prove here, and maybe one or two players who do need to do better.
    Let's see what Tuchel's ideas are, and changes are, if any.
    The former Yugoslavia are surely the next best team in this group, if we're thinking about winning it. So this will be tricky.

    I've got a 10' barge pole and a boat hook that need a second coat of stain before it rains tomorrow, should be entertaining.

    Was just saying much the same - it'll have to be better than Saturday's game if I'm going make it to the second half.

    I've learned so many times over the years, to not over react when it comes to England, especially in Friendlies and even in most Qualifying games as well.
    So take a point tonight, err yeah I think I would. :rolleyes:

    A game against one of those 'middle of the road' sides, who regularly qualify for major tournaments, but rarely get out of the group stage. It's often this type of game England thrives in. Serbia won't put 10 men behind the ball, which will leave space in behind for England to exploit. I expect the Serbs to have a couple of spells of pressure, where it'll be a little awkward, but for England to win comfortably in the end. I'm going for 2-0, a goal either side of half time by Harry Kane.

    I don’t watch many England games outside of tournaments but I’ll watch this.

    The Serbs hate us & they'll have a proper go at us. They won’t be sticking men behind the ball.

    I think it’ll be a lot better than what most of you expect.

    I'm going a draw. Dodgy game this and Tuchel's overall strategy is still not imposed in my opinion. A loss will be quite damaging.

    Milenkovic, Rice and Burn to commit 10 or more fouls between them... 100/1

    The Ultras will have reduced numbers but I’m sure there’ll still be a hostile atmosphere

    I'm not sure about the 'hate us' thing, although yeah I know they aren't exactly best friends with us lol.
    But isn't it just what many other low life nations think about us anyway. :rolleyes:

    It's like watching a pre season game when you haven't got a clue who half of the players are :D
