Surprised Sessegnon is still eligible. Seems to have been around a long time. About three Fulham promotions ago at least
He's 22 and he's been playing for the U21s since 2018, which is a bit odd.
He'll no longer be eligible after the U21s Euros next summer, by which point he'll be 23.
Skipp and Spence are in similar positions.

Which part of the wall do you think Kane would've hit?

I you took vid footage of all of Kane and Sons' long
range goals. and impose a rectangle of a size representing
a wall 10 yds away, I suspect that a lot more of Sons'
shots in flight would clear the rectangle than Kanes' wpuld.

I also think that Son scores a higher % of goals from
range than Kane does.

All moot of course until a manager tells Kane
he ain't first choice for free kick duties.

THis has to be down to the manager. How does he manage to deliver such negative performances with an undoubtedly talented squad.

Tbh, it looks like a Spurs first half on a regular basis under Conte. The issue is whether England can raise their game in the second half and come away with a win?

Not particularly great viewing. I have to admit.

I don't think we look that negative with Conte. We generally have active wing backs. Walker confined to defence has to be a waste of talent.

It's not identical but it is familiar. Now, we need to up the intensity and ambition...much as Conte has us doing most weeks.

THis is not a great Italian side we really should be dominating this but we've hardly created a chance.
 
The commentator says Italy are great at keeping a clean sheet. Germany have just scored 5 against this lot.
