Euro 2020

[Alan]

I'd like us to have a bit more possession but we do look good on the break

It's clear even out of possession that England are controlling things, though. Either Southgate hit a blinder (previous quibble with Kane's positioning notwithstanding), or Mancini has massively cocked up. Probably a bit of both.

 

[Alan]

Little bit of life from Chiesa there.

 

[Jinky]

Luke Shaw and Kieran Trippier have been fantastic so far.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Swiss guy got sent off for that. Neither a red and the ref used common sense.

 

[Alan]

Italy finally finding their feet here.

 

[Freddeno]

kane is falling over more easily than doyler despite his weight

 

[Jinky]

Rice has been excellent too.

 

[AndyWolves]

Mount not playing that well

Happy with the game so far though!

 

[BillyDee]

Well that just flew by.

 

[Alan]

England excellent for the first 35. Started slipping in discipline after that. Will need to refocus as Italy look to have snapped out of their stupor.

 

[Nando]

Rice has been magnificent. Shaw and Trippier seriously good too.

 

[AndyWolves]

I think we need to see more of the ball in the second half.

We've been defending well but these top teams can score goals from nothing.

We've created some good situations though

Just why? Especially considering it’s obviously very cold

Had to have lost a bet. Only semi-reasonable excuse I can think up.

Also, thanks, he gave me a confidence boost.

 

[Jinky]

Grealish or Saka for Mount seems the obvious choice.

 

[Freddeno]

Maybe this is Southgates revenge from the missed penalty from 96 in the semifinal

 

[Jinky]

Not totally convinced by us at the moment. Inviting on pressure and not holding on to the ball.

Don’t think you can just sit and defend for 40 odd minutes against these lot.

 

[Tony Towner]

Too deep, need to get out

 

[AndyWolves]

Need some possession

 

[Throbber3]

Need some possession

Need a second goal !
