You know you are on RealGM when there's a heated discussion about a completely meaningless friendly game.

Looks like Drinkwater's coming on, about time.

every single header english players jump into, they always but always foul. they either elbow, push, jump on opponent's back.

If you pay attention, i said always. not often. literally they foul on every single header ball.

No idea what that Turkish defender is doing, totally blocked the goalkeeper.

it wasn't even a corner of course.

1 penalty + 1 offside goal + 1 corner which wasn't even a corner.

Turkey would've gotten something from this game if Arda and Sahin played.

Kane had a mediocre to bad game, he really needs to release his passes sooner and be less selfish. Our attack got more potentcy when we switched to the 4-4-2, but looked bad defensively in both shapes. Vardy did pretty well considering he was played on the wing for so long.

Danny Rose was great, though.

There is Burak too.

We played a very good game.

Fatih Terim giving the cellphone to the ref to show England goal was a clear offside.

Thug life.

The goal wouldn't have been disallowed because of the phone. Did he show your player fouls to?

That's how we play and we haven't lost a single game since 2015. He was probably showing the goals throughout 2015

You've lost now.

Fair result. England were clearly the better team.

True.

Vardy became a completely different player. He'd been spending too much time defending in the defensive third - that's not his game - he harries the opposition back line and forces them into mistakes. Drinky comes on and Vardy has a security blanket and becomes an offensive threat.

That ball from Drinky to Vardy and then the pass to Kane was great and typical Leicester.

Just hope Woy realises this too.

Are you talking about a Turkish tackle from the first half?

I thought England were the better team but pretty average.

The team defence was poor. The midfield didn't help out the central defenders and Rose was out of position a lot.

Kane had a good first half but not so good second. He is also too selfish.

Alli had a good first half but no so good second.

Wilshere did nothing to be selected.

Sterling had a poor first half and a couple of good runs in the second but he isn't a good enough attacker to make the squad and he is a liability on the defensive side.

Vardy was hardly in the first half but was great after moving up front and Drinky being introduced. Winning a penalty, scoring a goal and should have got an assist when Kane slipped at the end.

Walker was my motm.

England looked a good attacking team in the last 15 mins.

Turkey were a decent team but not quick enough defensively or clinical enough in attack. I haven't seen much of them but I'm surprised they made the finals on that performance.

Yes we lost. We lost against 16 players. Offside goal then no corner was converted a goal.

Our goal was great and hard earned.
