If we beat Colombia a possible game against Sweden who we've beaten twice in the last 15 games:thumbsup: Oh and Alexander Arnold's corners were shite tonight.

Not only the 'easier' side of the draw... no injuries, no suspensions, less travelling and an extra days rest.
What's not to like!?

The worst bit of news to come out of tonight is that ITV have also got our next game :(

Exactly.

And no Cahill, Jones, Dier, Delph, Rashford, A-A, L-C or Vardy next time.

Hopefully he'll consider Pickford's position too.

If we’d fielded only nine players we might have more of an excuse

I'll give you that. Not particularly happy with Pickford's parries, but that's just being picky :)

True but the fans have missed having a good moan about England, so let them get on with it.

Never thought I'd say that England missed Henderson in midfield.

There's very little quality in the back up midfield options, Rashford fluffed his audition to be Kane's partner. Defence looked a bit better but still seems disorganised. Surprised Butland didn't get a game.

Plus side: I don't have to face the horror of England losing to Japan...

Before the game, a bunch of experts on 5Live including (Spurs loving) Jenas, explained that Dier at the moment lacks the mobility, pace and the ability to get around to shield the back 4 at international level. Henderson has earned the right to start in that position.

Okay, I know I’m very biased, but is Dale Stephens any worse than Delph or Dier, I realise he ‘sits’, but he (Dier) literally offers so little, and drops so deep he is on the toes of the CB’s.

Best path to a semi since 1990, we've NEVER knocked out a big side on foreign soil in Euros or WC

That game stank, Southgate is a genius, reverse Psychology on Martinez.

On the down side if England don't make the Semi-finals now Southgate should go the same way as Roy 4yrs ago..:thumbsup:
This is now the best chance England have had to reach a Semi-final since 1990, don't blow it lads!:rave:

Vardy didn't get any support. We didn't play to his strengths either.

half true, he didnt offer his strength though, didnt offer anything for anyone to pass to, no runs, no movement, just sat between their CBs and waited for a ball. how many times was he offside? 0 i think, because he wasnt doing anything.
