Game is flat. But we're having the best of it. Croatia not offering much.

Kane hasn't offered anything yet

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Kyle Walker has been crap and Trippier is slowing us up due to it being on his wrong foot. Ggrrr

 

[Liquid Gold]

I think both teams are struggling with the heat. England are right to keep the ball and make Croatia do the running but it’s hardly a spectacle.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Commentators just said exactly that he’s right get the ball to mount foden and Sterling and let them run at them

 

[Paul Anthony]

On the basis of so far, I think we could move Trippier right, stick on Chilwell at LB and take Walker off, he's not looked at the races.

I agree. Id have played James and Shaw

Incorrect. It was brought to the UK game to protest the systemic racism in the world highlighted by the murder or George floyd.

Now that that’s cleared up you can stop getting angry by it and you can agree it shouldn’t be booed.

(I’ll ignore the nonsense about solidarity with the NFL or whatever you’re suggesting I was trying to say)

No, it was brought to the UK because of BLM. All of the TV coverage was BLM, shirts had BLM on them and it was BLM 24/7 on the news.

Let's not pretend there's no link for people.

If it had started at the same time as the NFL stuff, more people would link it to that.

Can you really not get WHY people link it to BLM and then say it's political?

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

i wonder how much the future is playing on their minds- all the pressure is on us & Croatia might not mind second bearing in mind who the winners end up against. It’s not as if coming first is imperative otherwise you end up playing a horrible game next.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

The good news, which I'm sure we can all agree on, is that we aren't losing yet.

Oh right, didn't realise that.

I would take 0-0 today if we annihilate Scotland next week.

They've made it very hard for half decent teams not to get out the group stage. A dull draw would be fine for both but hardly inspiring.

Chilwell injured or something?

 

[COV]

if we go 1-0 down in this game we’ve had it, they’re too calm and experienced. I reckon we really need to score first

 

[Nick]

Just not picked.

 

[Tommo1993]

1-0

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Sterling’s having a good game

 

[Johnnythespider]

This is where Trippier makes me eat my words

 

[clint van damme]

They’re much more experienced, but they haven’t handled the more direct/pacy stuff as well.

It's not easy keeping Modric quiet. But he's done nothing so far.

 

[Nick]

Can't help but think Grealish would make a difference in the way space is opening up for us.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Or not

 

[oscillatewildly]

OK, one too many now - Is Walker pissed or is it just a simple case of him having one eye on the escort he's got booked for later?

 

[Tommo1993]

1-0

I meant that Croatian now has 1 broken tit

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

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

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We need more of those balls over the top, they aren’t handling it well

 

[Nick]

Hasnt really been tested yet though.

 

[Evo1883]

Good first 15/20 then Southgate ball took over

 

[jordan210]

First 10 was ok. Otherwise wasn't overly exciting

Agree, we really need to get that greasy Villa bastard on unfortunately.

Half time. Here come the Sky Blue Crew

Yeah, agreed. Don't rate them one iota from this first half performance but if they were to sneak one you just know they'd possess the 'experience' to close this one.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Bit of a flat half in the end, had the best chance.

 

[stupot07]

Great 20 mins but then have dropped off. Walker has been poor, and no having a left footed left back has hindered us at times.
