England 1 down!

 

That penalty against England seemed a bit ridiculous to me. Rico Lewis' hand lands rather softly in the opponent's face (or the opponent runs into it). There was no malice in it at all and he was looking away, focused on heading the ball.

 

Should have had one earlier though when Maguire tripped and bundled over their player. Think VAR was making up for not giving it by giving the second 'shout'.

 

Ollie Watkins looking crap so far. I know the service hasn't been great, but he is such a huge drop off from Harry Kane.

 

Kane’s done a Rickie!

 

Lol. Just to empathise the point I just made

 

Nope, it's an own goal!

 

Anyone know why Kane is wearing 20?

 

I know, let’s call it an almost-Rickie.

 

He started sub

England matches the starting XI will be numbers 1-11 (unless it's a tournament in which case they get squad numbers)

 

Why do I even watch it

Just so boring. No movement.

 

Another uninspiring showing from Southgate FC.

 

Well the only bit I got wrong was which end the penalty was

Everything else spot on

 

Can we please never play Alexander -Arnold in midfield again.

 

Rashford looks a shadow of the player from last season. Not helped when playing for unimaginative bore (Southgate) and a deluded man (ten Haag)

 

Absolute mind blowing. Never a midfielder! He’s a kyle walker who sees his attacking / playmaking prowess a lot better than it actually is

 

NI beat Denmark 2 - 0 Shea Charles got an assist for the first, Dion Charles scored the 2nd.

 

The dead ball distribution for England was poor, if only we had a dead ball specialist in the side!

 

Rashfords blast from 35 yards was embarrassing

 

Can we just reduce the amount of international football that is played, or preferably get rid of it!!
