    Not that impressive but a win is a win.

    Well that was nice, but it did feel rather like a pre-season friendly a lot of the time, and not just because of the weather.

    Big winner: Phillips

    Czech’s could be the tougher game.

    If we had Modric in there I’d really fancy us. What a great player.

    Well done lads. It wasn’t pretty at times but a win and a clean sheet is huge.

    If they equalise late I’m convinced the NT has been cursed.
    National Trust?

    Lovely 3 points, stealing ooh ah’s thunder, 90% chance of qualification.

    I’d keep Phillips and Rice.

    I’d change the Fullbacks (maybe keep Walker?). Chilwell would take this side up a gear.

    Decent start, a win in the opening game takes a lot of pressure off us.

    Haven't felt this positive after an opening game for a long time.

    No complaints. Really good performance. Southgate has put together a team that looks more like a club side.

    How good was Bellingham when he came on. 3 or 4 crucial tackles.
    Totally agree. For 17 he is so combative. 

    Sadly he’s competing with Phillips and Mount who both played well today.

    Concidering all the bed wetting  going on about Southgate picking a negative team.
    Well I thought we played superb. 
    Yep. I thought he'd picked a bang average teM, but we played well, and there were a couple of chances to put that to bed second half. Happy to be proved wrong. Even happier we won.

    Scotland the perfect game to rotate the side a bit

    And that’s something that so many of the players have commented on. Like a club side.

    Let's not forget that team knocked us out of the World cup a few years back...

    What a stupid question.

    We can improve and will need to, but important to get off to a good start and we did enough to win. I was critical of Phillips and Sterling starting but to be fair both did well particular Phillips who was my MOM.

    Not a game that will live in the memory after about 6pm tonight but they did what they had to do. Phillips was ace in that role. Rice nice and tidy, Mings looked good and we never really looked under real pressure at any point.

    Good win for England.

    Think people need to forget about the Croatia of 2018, three years on this team is a shadow of that side.

    Good win for me and well deserved.  Phillips MOTM, loved seeing him get stuck in. Croatia not the team they were 3 years ago, but we still had to beat them.  I’ve watched countless tournaments in my life time where England have let me down.  We should be buoyed by this as we only need to get a win against Scotland (which will be a different type of challenge), and we’re in the knock outs.  

    Enjoy it and onto Friday
