Can't see Kane's England goalscoring record ever getting bettered.5

With his lack of pace if he stays injury free and continues at or near the top of the game next year will not be his last world cup. And tbh it's not like he has huge competition in the centre forward role for England.2

And to also add there isn't many other centre forwards around who I would rather have from any country atm.Karim_myBagheri said:With his lack of pace if he stays injury free and continues at or near the top of the game next year will not be his last world cup.

Of those in reserve, its a shame that Liam Delap is currently injured for ChelseaKarim_myBagheri said:With his lack of pace if he stays injury free and continues at or near the top of the game next year will not be his last world cup.

Given how he's done of late, he seems the possible successor to Kane0 -

good player last season and I hope you're right as he looks like he would suit the role well. too early for me to say if he could do it.ForeverAddickted said:

Still remember the golden generation scraping results all over Eastern Europe and then telling us there's no easy games in international football.3

This is what I'm talking about. This is what pisses me off about the Latvian fa and their government. I know there's loads of issues within their league system and because of that it's possibly the reason why they don't play at a uefa agreed half decent stadium but they really don't help themselves. They seem obsessed with this place. Alright for a concert I guess and that's about it, no wonder they need such a large screen as otherwise you wouldn't have a clue what's going on. That's of course if you're in the main stand.Croydon said:

Are there any stadiums in Latvia that would suit the national team? genuinely curious.Karim_myBagheri said:

Is one of my overriding issues with how FIFA / UEFA works... I get that everyone gets an equal vote when deciding on where the World Cup gets held etc. But imagine there are so many countries out there, whose decision is easily swayed by heads of FA's who have their own financial interests at heart.Karim_myBagheri said:

Have always thought that as a result those higher in the FIFA Rankings (not the most reliable of ways to decide, but probably the "easiest") should get a stronger vote on matters than those towards the bottom etc... e.g. want to have a stronger say on matters, you invest in the Sport on a national level, and help your country advance up the rankings.1 -
Skonto stadium has been used. Slightly smaller. Just over 8,000 but fenaddick early said it's not uefa approved aymore.Addick_and_Chips said:

I agree though Latvia could be a special case in some ways*ForeverAddickted said:

But yeah if they were to make decisions that is to the benefit of their league their national team and the sport then it helps grow the game as a whole. However you and I both know that certain countries FAs can be "persuaded" by others for certain things/votes. So they won't give up on the right to have as much of a say as a major footballing nation.
* Since I first went to Latvia 20 years ago and the visits since I have had to change my team who I sort of follow 3 times. This is due to the previous team going under for numerous reasons. It's ridiculous. **
** Could be im a jinx but I've been supporting Charlton for over 35 years and as of yet we're still going.2 -
Cant see Latvia getting back into the game now...1

F.A. has already said it but....
Ezri Konsa made in Charlton.4 -
Regardless of opposition I don’t think we might have an identity under Tuchel. We move the ball so much quicker. Won’t know till the crucial games against good sides but I think the foundations are there.5

I've seen quite a few of the 'golden generation' (Owen, Gerrard, Scholes, Rooney) pop up lately talking about how difficult it was to play for England or at last accepting that they undelivered and were no where near good enough.Charlton and on said:Still remember the golden generation scraping results all over Eastern Europe and then telling us there's no easy games in international football.0 -
That has to be one of the shittest stadiums used for international football that i've ever seen.1

Impressively, the first team from UEFA to qualify. The Portuguese were nearly there but a late Hungarian equaliser means they'll have to wait until November now.
We have an unusual situation next month, two fully competetive international matches that we can afford to lose. I know momentum is important - though with the next proper competetive game not until June, maybe it isn't quite as importatnt as normal?
Players like Bellingham who have missed out this time will hopefully be fit and available; will TT want to give them a run out? Will he take a look at some dark-horses, or youngsters who have dual nationality he wants to pin down to England?
As we are playing the two rivals for second place, as long as we put out similar teams in both, I don't see any moral problem with putting out a "weakened" side? Though with the competition for places and the progress we have made, even a second string should be a reasonable match for Serbia and Albania.0 -
Tuchel will almost certainly want to keep momentum going, plus after November there is only one more international break before the summer.Algarveaddick said:Impressively, the first team from UEFA to qualify.

That said i think if any players have a knock or are not 100% then there might be an agreement with their club that they can sit it out.1 -
We can afford to rest players now and play reserves like Bellingham, Foden, Trent and Grealish
