We havent got kane into the game at all

We don’t look bad, but way off the level of Italy or Belgium, albeit after 45 mins only

 

[mark82]

Just not picked.

Surely not. Champions League winner, him and Shaw both excellent. Presumably neither fully fit, only explanation.

Not a bad half. Surprisingly most impressed by Phillips and Mings. Croatia vulnerable to ball over the top. Hopefully the heat won’t get to England second half.

Mings has defended well this half does look like a lumbering giant

I would have defended well against this lot.

(touches wood) Mings looks very solid

croatia own midfield, we didn’t know how to keep the early pressure up, which has more to do with their know-how than us. We look young, energetic but lack of killer touch & apart from the early fire we don’t know how to break them down. Neither side would mind a draw either, if they score they’ll totally shut the game down, if we score we’ll get flustered and we’ll have a CCFC style horrible nervous remainder of game. 0-0 looks very likely, and that wouldn’t be a disaster.

anythung is possible but I wouldn’t fancy us against Italy, who are the best team so far imho

Phillips best player so far.

Really don’t get where this talk of us being favourites came from

 

[Tommo1993]

I believe Grealish will hang around in that gap and drag Kane into the game

Southgate spoke like he just wasn't picked.

 

[Liquid Gold]

The two wide players of the three need to offer more. Walker poor too. Mount has been the standout.

As dull as they have been in this first half, Croatia are no Turkey or Russia tho.

 

[mark82]

Sterling done ok, but can tell he's not as confident as 12 months ago. Would probably have had a goal from the positions he's got into this half a year ago.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Also good. Our midfield has controlled really well

Yep, world cup finalists 3 years ago (don't we know it).

 

[Marty]

Ah yes, multi millionaire footballers trying to tell us about injustices, dressed head to toe in clothes made in sweatshops, soon to be playing in stadiums made by slaves in Qatar. Anything other then not going to Qatar will be hypocritical as fuck.

I disagree with the knee but I wouldn't boo it, if fans are expected to respect the players views then the players need to respect the fans views.

Thought we done ok this half, largely done well but feel we're missing the midfield out a bit too much. Wouldn't change things at half time. Give it 20 mins and try grealish.

COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!

When he was put through he should have opened his body up and tried it first time but he wasn’t confident enough so he took it down with his other foot and then was closed out

We could pump these 3-0 but people would still have a bone on for Italy.

Schools

 

[Blind-Faith]

Walker and Stirling poor IMO. Get them off and get shaw and grealish on

The countries should come together and play a separate tournament at the same time as Qatar. Joke that it’s still going ahead.

 

[Evo1883]

I think we will win this 1-0

 

[Liquid Gold]

Yeah. I wanna fuck that boot shaped bitch.

 

[COV]

I think we will win this 1-0

the way to win this is the ‘old fashioned English’ way- direct, fast, intense, pressure.

something looks wrong with Kane and Walker fills me with dread, looks like an accident waiting to happen

 

[Tommo1993]

Do you think of it as Sicily could be your bum bum with the boot kicking it?

Stop it I’ve already got a semi

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Thought Sterling did well. Great chance for Foden he made for himself. Half of two halves. They shit themselves when we get it wide…. Kane hardly involved.

 

[Hertsccfc]

Anyone else think Kane looks a bit leggy, the heat might be taking a toll

Running isn't really his strength. We need to give him service in forward positions. I woukd back him to score a half decent cgance

Kane is never going to be running himself silly and especially so in this heat.

 

[Tommo1993]

Kane flourishes with Heung-Min Son. Like he will with Grealish. He’s a world class striker, he just needs one chance.

 

[Hertsccfc]

Chilwell isn't on the bench. Saka is though I think.

Assume Chilwell must be injured? Explains why Trippier is left back.

 

[robbiekeane]

Quality by frank lampard lol.
“any offers?”
“Yeh obviously none as good as this because I’m here”

 

[Hertsccfc]

Good first 15/20 then Southgate ball took over

You'd be there shouting forward?

Can't take Lampsrd seriously after listening to top flight time machine

 

[Paul Anthony]

Why didn't Stones just put his boot through that? He wasn't going anywhere by keeping it
