    Come on England 

    0-0 half time, unconvincing 1-0 victory at full time.
  • Would like Foden over Mount but I understand it. Mount has been a better player for England than Foden. I’ll never understand the Sterling criticism when he’s consistently been our best player at the last two tournaments. 
  • Love that armband Alex Scott.

    Is that 9 of the 11 that started the last game of the last tournament?  Must be close to a record.

    No reason why they can't go again in Germany and the States.  

    I know there is a lot of anti Southgate noise, which I am not really 100% sure as to why, but to me this is the next step on the journey.  The next two tournaments are the ones we should be aiming to win.  This is too much of a lottery to he the be all and end all.
  • This is the tournament , means soooo much more than the Euro's , the World Cup , come on ENGLAAAAAND !!

    Not a fan of Mount in an England shirt but seems to be Southgate's fave.

    I'm gutted. Can't watch it as work won't allow it

    In our corner though and buzzing for ENGLAND 

    I'm happy with the starting 11.

    The team has chemistry and they can get goals.

    I think an early lead foe us will be needed

    I think Kane is too slow for international football to play as a main striker. I think he should play behind Saka, Foden or maybe Sterling. He can hold the ball up brilliantly and can thread passes to allow others to run onto. Speed causes defenders loads of problems.

    Foden plays as part of the front 3 for City, so the choice is between Foden, Sterling and Saka for the 2 attacking wide players
  • Jude Bellingham is an impressive sounding young man.

    ticketing problems meaning a lot of England fans still not yet in the stadium.

    similar to the Champions League final - does this happen to other fans or is it just English ones it affects.

    Yes, I know, but it’s not like he couldn’t play centrally where Mount is.
