Always highly amusing when the in-stadium camera beams in on a colourfully-dressed group of fans who are sitting there quietly, texting and/or yawning. Til they realise they're live on the big screen. At which point they always come over all FERVENT. At which point the camera always moves on, leaves them hanging :lolol:

All slowed down for us now. Need to keep it along the floor unless it’s going in behind and pick up the tempo.

Mason Mount is such a quality player, lovely to watch. Could be a star of this tournament.

Kane on the other hand is a bit of a problem for us. Constantly one or two seconds behind the other attackers. Sterling in fairness has done well so far.

That ball from Mount to Sterling was absolutely world class - the kind of ball you just don’t ‘see’ as an armchair fan. Both Mount and Foden have serious futures ahead of them.

Kane is not exactly busting a gut is he. But like Glen Murray will take an opportunity when it comes.....usually.

Walker has been shocking so far.

But it’s not like this Wembley is 50+ years old. It’s a relatively new build.

You would have thought they could have engineered some kind of mitigating solution in this modern age, even if it’s some kind of roof material that lets a proportion of light through so the shadow isn’t quite so absolute. Or lights that can be directed at the dark pitch areas to compensate. Something. This is pretty ****ing shit to watch, to be honest.

V lucky here, found out I can adjust the contrast and brightness on my TV. I guess when building it, the position of the sun during 2pm kick-offs a week away from the longest day weren’t top of the list of concerns :shrug:

Bit like Songs of Praise. Once the camera is on they start singing with evangelical zeal.

That pace was always going to be difficult to keep up on a day like to day.
Playing into Croatia and Modrics hands a little.
