England wins 2-1

Big result

Win on Sunday, as expected, and that’s England more or less through to the Euros.

Roll on Malta in June.

I think Malta might give them a game you know

England wins 2-1

On paper yes

Reality is England in the 2nd half did everything they could to throw it away

 

[MikeH72]

Cannot allow this generation of players to be wasted on this career failure of a man.

Can’t be any worse than Italy tonight.

3 days on the sun, I don’t really care

England wins 2-1

Big result

Big result for sure
Still very strange that Phillips and Walker start before Maddison and Trippier when the first two barely play
Got the result though so I suppose it worked

Where did they get that woman from? You'd think they'd find someone who knew hour our National Anthem went FFS!

You don’t have a national anthem (assuming you’re English sorry)

Southgate trusts them more you'd imagine.

Phillips and Maddison are completely different players

 

[MikeH72]

Phillips and Maddison are completely different players

Bellingham could play the Phillips role and Maddison at number 10. Personally I’d play Foden in that role. He’s using Bellingham wrong, he is a box to box midfielder, not a number 10.

Will Italy ever be good again?

Yes

Today's matches

Group B
France Vs Holland - 7:45pm
Gibraltar Vs Greece - 7:45pm

Group E
Czech Rep Vs Poland - 7:45pm
Moldova Vs Faroes - 7:45pm

Group F
Austria Vs Azerbaijan - 7:45pm
Sweden Vs Belgium - 7:45pm

Group G
Bulgaria Vs Montenegro - 5:00pm
Serbia Vs Lithuania - 7:45pm

France/Holland and Sweden/Belgium seem like the pick of the ties today

Moldova/Faroes is two smaller sides going at it where either could realistically win

Czechs Vs Poles could be intriguing as well

2-0 to Steeeeevy Geeeeee on Channel 4 for me. More comedy gold than golden generation. Bloody sure he said someone was playing a "Pacific role" in his pre-match comments, only to be followed by the Italy striker looking like "a duck out of water"in his half time analysis. Now I'm no ornithologist but I'm quite sure that the ducks I've encountered over the years looked quite competent on dry land, managing to keep their footing even when in close proximity to Demba Ba.

A third of Kane's goals have come from penalties. Has any England player ever got a higher proportion of their goals from the spot? Indeed, have England ever won more penalties than in recent years?
