Just starting. The Kosovans in the stadium love us for being part of the NATO force that liberated them from Serbia. Unusual to see total respect at a match!

Is this the official match thread?
Do they want Prince Andrew?

Dont agree with starting or even playing Rice.
Slight off topic.
But of you ever want an example as to why there should be pre qualifying for these it’s the scenes after San Marino scored when 3-0 down.
Pathetic

The qualifying is bobbins. The moment we come against anyone decent in the tournamount proper we'll fold like a red-hot Mars bar anyway.
I've only watched 10 secs and already I'm amazed Dunk isn't on the pitch.

Sticking my neck out, I don’t see Mings, Winks and Rice being European champions next summer.
We still don’t possess the Modric/Rakitic types who can take complete control of games home and away.

Er, 1-0 England. Winks.

Worth lay betting against England just as pre tournament hype reaches a crescendo. Hard to see the likes of Mbappe failing to thrive against Maguire and Mings.

Nobody fancied Portugal or Greece when they got to the final and both won
I think Winks is one of those players who looks better for England. Rice simply isn’t at this level yet, he may get there but not ready.
Hudson Odoi has been poor but he’s fifth/sixth choice for a front three so can live with that.
For me, and people will disagree, I would start Tripper ahead of Alexander Arnold. We are shaky at the back and he’s a far better defender.

Sounds like something out of a [MENTION=27447]Goldstone1976[/MENTION] restaurant review.

I expect Belgium, Germany, Italy, France and others are looking forward to playing against Englands defence and keeper. Since Hargreaves we haven't had a top class defensive/holding midfielder to protect the back line, and will be exposed against the elite teams.
