  • Kane needs to hurry up if he wants 5, as he'll be subbed at HT surely  :D

    Harry 'stat-padding' Kane with a hat-trick containing two penalities. 
    Doesn’t matter - a goal is a goal. What should he do, miss them?
  • Imagine Kane playing with Foden every week for City...

    Let Mings, Smith-Rowe, Bellingham or Phillips take them. 

    It's embarrassing. 
  • Just need to keep it tight second half, soak up the pressure and we should win

    Why? He is the penalty taker.  Kane would take them against anybody, why shouldn’t he take them against San Marino?

    I've been to San Marino, it's a nice day trip if you're in that bit of Italy!
    I’ve been too, they’ve got a fantastic Ferrari and Abarth museum.

    We're playing San Marino.

    Let a player that may never score for England have a chance.

    Think I will flick over to the N. Ireland v Italy game for the second half.

    Italy need a goal. All the while it stays goalless they are leaving the door open for Switzerland

    If you want to know how to define embarrassing, maybe pop over to the Needing a Barry thread for my story of fecal failure at Kings Cross.

    Cos scoring a penalty for England when you’re England’s penalty taker isn’t it.

    Good of Mancini to name himself on the bench for Italy

    Typical of the Italians too, they've even stuck a Ferrari on there

    Oh come on, is that what VAR is for, to give ridiculous penalty decisions like that?
    Ref missed it.
    Clear and obvious error.
    I think that’s exactly what VAR is for.
    The handball law is a joke. That's never handball in the real world.

    Is this a joke?

    We are a professional footballing nation. Letting centre backs take pens is so Sunday league it’s embarrassing.

    Kane is our pen taker.

    What’s alarming is San Marino fans and media saying their current team is worse than the team that started competitive football years ago. That is completely against the idea of nations league etc

    The match shouldn't be happening anyway. It's the most boring game I've seen all season.

    Probably doesnt help that San Marino citizenship is nuts

    If you're parents arent already citizens then you have to live there for 30-years before you can apply.

    The pool of players to choose from must be tiny

    Although they did damned well at the Olympics this year (just not in the Football)
  • Thoughts with Conor Coady as he loses his distinction as the only Conor ever to play for England.

    It was unlucky. I’ll give you that. He gained no advantage from it and he didn’t mean to do it, but his arms were up in a position they shouldn’t be, as a result he ran the risk of handball, and so it proved. I can’t see how any ref wouldn’t give it.
    If Charlton we’re playing and the opposition got away with that, we’d all be furious.

    It wasnt even that clear it touched his hand though. 

    Anyway, the booking for it - and the second penalty - were also ridiculous.
