England 0 - 0 Albania [KO]
Thomas Tuchel has selected his first starting XI for England against Albania at Wembley on Friday. And the big news for Everton fans is that Jordan Pickford retains his place in goal.
The full first team and substitutes:
England: Pickford, Walker, Lewis-Skelly, Burn, Konsa, Rice, Bellingham, Jones, Rashford, Foden, Kane
On the Albania bench is Chelsea's England-born Armando Broja, on loan with Everton.
Jordan Pickford continues in goal for England, winning his 74th cap.

Personally I would rather see less of Everton players in their national jerseys – we seem to have more crocked players afterwards.
England have a very easy group to deal with and only Serbia may be a test.
Tuchel is not my idea of a manager who will take England far and only Pickford, Kane and Rice are World class so we will see what happens when they ace some top teams.

I don't know if it's my mixed race upbringing - I'm a plastic paddy on my dad's side with a penchanct for Welsh Rugby, strangely from him, and proper Welsh on my mum's side.
I don't care one flying fuck if Everton players play for England or not. The only side of that that bothers me is that they may have ambition to do so and leave us to achieve that aim.
Good luck with that Jack Harrison (and Calvert-Lewin) but I think you're deluded there.

Mixed race (Irish/Welsh) - that cracked me up Mark. I guess we're all mixed race in that case.
I've never cared much for the national team, but have to admit that I felt differently when the young, still blue, Rooney was playing his heart out in the Euros all those years ago. I'm back to not caring again now!

Mark, I don't have any affiliation to any international football team. I enjoy watching it and will go out to watch England later, probably sat amongst the meatheads that England seem to attract where I live.
I've always had a soft spot for the Netherlands and Germany. More recently Croatia. For a country with a population less than 4M, they have produced some really good players over the years.
Sell out at Wembley tonight. Not bad going for the level of the opponents. No disrespect for them.

I just saw this Bill: "The England vs Albania Match broadcast live and free on streaming platform DAZN Canada from 3:45 pm ET."

Sorry Paul I don't subscribe to DAZN but to Fubo for the English Premier league, Fubo are showing the game but only to its American viewers, the Canadian networks are showing that game invented by a Canadian called basketball that to me is about as exiting as croquet

Ah crap: BBC Radio 5 live commentary Bill?
