    Kane is so off the pace when a chance falls to him he doesn't know what to do.

    What is the point of having Kane if he can't score from there? He's not offering enough to be on in my opinion

    Weird that Kane didn’t just take that first time

    If I was an English striker sitting on the bench at the start of this second half, I would have every right to be furious.

    On this showing I think we should pass on Kane. Man City are welcome to him. 
    And Mbappe. ;)

    DCL scores that. 
    Sterling scores that. 
    Watkins scores that. 
    Anyone else scores that.

    Kane clearly graduated from the Jason Euell ‘Second Touch is a Tackle’ School of First Touch over the summer

    How do you know? - I thought this formation was too cautious for the likes of you anyway

    Imagine if you were the English striker in the squad that didn’t even make the bench!

    Kane is on Fraud watch. This man cannot turn up when it matters
  • Awful first 45 - two very average sides.

    Sorry when did I say that? I've actually been broadly hopeful today.

    Kane is so woefully out of form.

    We shouldn't be playing him becuase of what he's done before, he's not doing it in this tournament. 
  • What a fluffer.

    Not sure what to make of that. Very cagey.

    Shaw is not comfortable playing where he is, he’s done nothing. 

    Philips has played well but he’s 1 tackle away from a red.

    Maguire has been the best player on the pitch.

    Shami Khedira has in just 10 seconds of speaking won the "most boring commentator on Earth" award.

    On the positive I think we’ve played well. Gotta keep tabs on the counter but this game is there if we want it. We are the better football team.

    Would stick Foden on for Kane at half time. He's just not himself. No movement, sluggish, missing chances.

    Would not sub Kane, not whilst there is the risk of penalties

    Rice too.
  • We're so slow in our build up - seem to be hoping for a German mistake.

    England are an average side, have been for years. One of the poorest German teams I have seen for a long time,

    Not sure I'd back him to score one on this form. Shearer has called it, he's not even looking annoyed at the lack of balls into the box. Half arsed

    People are way too harsh on Kane, not been great but had no service.

    If we don’t make a change in the centre there is a red card without a doubt coming for England .... especially in a game where they will be under more pressure

    That's why he stayed on against Croatia in the semi final, when he was similarly offering nothing. And then they beat us before we even got to penalties.

    Slightly worried about getting done on the left hand side because Shaw is slightly too slow getting back when Germany break. 

    But on the whole a good half. The problem England have is that their main striker is playing like he's unfit. So Sterling and Saka are having to play around him rather than with him.
