He does not have a clue what he’s watching. Explains why he spends the entire game looking gormless staring into space on the touchline. Bafflingly incompetent manager, Frank Lampard has more of a clue about management than him.

FT: Serbia 0-1 England
England
England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live on equalling Peter Shilton's record of 10 clean sheets at a major tournament: "A great achievement personally, but I will never take plaudits myself.
"I have a full 11 that help me and I am just there when the lads need me.
"To be up there with Peter Shilton is a great privilege

Which proves my point, the media and bookies have to calm it down, that’s why the Jocks, Welsh and Irish and the other ABEs get giddy at England’s misfortune and wound up so easily when they do well
A good 75/80% of England fans know the team has major faults and aren’t getting hopes high, just taking it game by game
Hope he realises he actually only has a full 10 to help him the big dope
Shame he's such a UKIP bellend

A thoroughly impressive performance and result for Sir Gareth Southgate and England to open this tournament

Laughing at Scotland for not doing well at the Euros as an England fan is a bit like a Real Madrid fan laughing at Everton for not doing well in the Champions League
We're well aware we're out of our depth against a team like Germany
Southgate knows how to navigate tournaments and that’s what that was about tonight.
We don’t have to be spectacular or even good to get out the groups.
The important games are down the road. Do what we have to do at this stage.
Thought we could have played better in that second half but we’ll improve as we go on.

China and India have over a billion. It’s when culture meets population that you have the best results. Kind of like Moneyball when cash met statistics.
Can't quite fathom why England decided to play ultra-conservative after Bellingham's goal. It wasn't exciting before that, but it was so dull afterwards that I started doing the ironing early in the second half.
Roll on September so that my Sunday evenings will once again be devoted to NFL redzone.

Sure and the USA have 333 million but like China and India football isn't even close to being their national sport
Which is the point

To take another sport, New Zealand have 5million people and are the best rugby team, possibly the best sporting team, of all time statistically. So what is your point again?

It's simple arithmetic
Germany 83,294,633
France 64,756,584
Italy 58,870,763
England 56,550,138
Spain 47,519,628
Serbia 7,097,028
In fact that makes the point perfectly where European football is concerned
Rugby is the national sport in New Zealand and not particularly popular in many other countries so it's a totally different situation
Hope the hosts get some of these logistics improved
