    I can't believe there's no thread on this
    I've watched both the England games and been really entertained
    I think what Phil Neville has done with the team is very similar to Southgate and the Mens team

    Big game v Japan tomorrow and I'll be watching again

    Anyone else been watching?

    I saw England's first game where we were a bit disappointing, but sadly missed the 2nd game. Looking forward to our game v Japan. people have been commenting on the General Football thread...good to have a separate thread though there may not be much interest as there is a lot of sport on at the moment....England U21 v France on now for instance. Interest may increase if we make it to the semis and finals.

    Really enjoying it. The Chilean goalies performance against the USA a couple of days back was immense.

    You were entertained by the England v Scotland game? I thought it was awful. Poor pace and poor quality.

    It has been good, but has put me off VAR, which I was fairly positive about.

    Sadly there are now three things you can be certain of...death, taxes and VAR :(

    I thought we were really good 1st half v Scotland. At least they held on for the win
    Argentina we made a lot of chances and the goal was quality, their keeper was really good

    You didn't think we were good 1st half?

    No. I gave up trying to count consecutive passes. The number of mis-controlled touches and poor passes was awful.

    I suspect some posters on here are going to start to hate me this coming season.

    I enjoyed the first half...especially the first half hour. Good saves from the goalies. England the better side, but we really need to get another goal....not inconceivable that Japan could score. They get themselves in decent positions but lack the final ball...but only needs one England slip. Early goal for England please.

    They talked about Phil Neville's '9 pass rule' in training, anyone know what that is?

    Scotland 2-0 up. Gives them a chance to go through in best 3rd place. Pleased to hear that...be encouraging for them....though they will have to play Germany in the next round.

    After 9 passes you must shoot, no matter what.

    Neville will only make a pass at 9 of the starting 11?
