Finally a new core of English players in the 2nd half, Kane, Vardy, Ali, Dier and no welbeck, no rooney, no sterling, no lalana or Walcott to ruin the style of football with the same old things.

Excellent subs by Hodgson, more total crap from Loew on the attacking side.   Özil rhymes with over-rated. How many touches?  

Happy for victory and for English fans.

Harry kane is fucking world class. His finishing and all-round play is sublime.

I've been saying this since last season, he's the best talent to come from England since rooney came out from Everton 

[Special Juan 27,439]

Finally after years England are playing players based on their club form and not selecting the same old shit tournament after tournament and friendly after friendly.

Alli, Rose, Kane, Dier and Barkley are all the way forward, the likes of Rooney should be not near the starting line up.

As a club we should be looking at this too, far too many has beens and prima donnas.

Played a key role in their Premier-League survival, great finish of the season, but our legend couldn't see what's coming, despite of being on the big bucks, lolz.

After watching that match, and although its only 1 match, it looks like its going to be a while before we go back to where we where a decade ago.

From the entire England starting 11, the only contribution from Chelsea is Gary Cahill who is not even the favored first choice for the club. Chelsea back in 2004-2007 almost always had 4 England regulars in the starting 11. Mentality and attitude towards games were obviously better for it.

Tunisia 1-0 Togo

023 - Florence Hardouin elected as female representative on UEFA Executive Committee

The Football Federation of Kosovo (FFK) was admitted as the 55th member association of UEFA with immediate effect after a vote at the 40th Ordinary UEFA Congress in Budapest.

A simple majority was needed for the FFK to become a member and it received 28 votes in favour, with 24 votes against and two invalid votes cast.

"I welcome our 55th member," said UEFA General Secretary ad interim Theodore Theodoridis. "It was a very democratic process, and very open discussions [took place] between the national associations. We respect the result of the Congress [vote]."

Florence Hardouin (France) was elected as the female member on the UEFA Executive Committee for the 2016-19 period, receiving 33 votes against the 21 votes received by Karen Espelund (Norway).

"I'm proud and delighted," the 49-year-old French Football Federation (FFF) general manager said after the election. "It's a great honour for myself, for France and for the French federation. A lot of challenges lie ahead, and I hope to bring to UEFA the experiences that we are gathering with the organisation of UEFA EURO 2016. I also hope to contribute to continuing the development of women's football."

The UEFA Congress ratified the list of members of the UEFA Organs for the Administration of Justice and the list of members of the UEFA Governance and Compliance Committee for the period 2015-2019, as appointed by the UEFA Executive Committee on 29 June 2015.

Finally, several amendments to the UEFA Statutes were approved.
