Not really 30+ years of suffering depression does though

You have my empathy, fooking horrible condition.

I'm sure you have a thousand coping mechanisms do don't need to be patronised by me.

When was the last time we (England) lost two competitive games on the spin?

2018

 

[Jack Regan]

Far too much space there and Pickford practically dives out the way of it (well struck but Neuer saved two similar efforts in the first half).

 

[BillyDee]

These are just friendlies tho...

 

[jd1981]

Proper chocolate wrists from Pickford

 

[YoungWolf]

These are just friendlies tho...

Yeah, we regularly use to win these type of games in build up to a tournament and get our hopes up so hopefully this is the other way round now

 

[jd1981]

Sterling and Walker then both with great opportunities to create something then play nothing balls in quiet funny really

 

[jd1981]

Mount and Sterling absolutely anonymous and are still on the pitch.

 

[AndyWolves]

I think there are quite a few similarities between Lage and Southgate. Both play really dull football but somehow got results beyond what the football deserved.

I kind think the "Southgate got us to a semi-final" is similar to "Lage got us top half". Whilst true, misses the context

 

[Jinky]

Saka has has been absolutely shocking.

 

[jd1981]

Saka is infuriating to watch three times he’s given the ball away in advanced positions that have led to Germany breaking.

 

[Jinky]

Wow, that’s a soft pen. Looked offside (God knows whether that matters these days?), ball had already gone past him & couldn’t even tell if there was a touch.

Still, nicely taken by Kane & that takes him past Sir Bobby and three off Rooney.

 

[jd1981]

Very surprised that was overturned in fairness England have been knocking on the door in the last 10 minutes

 

[Mel Evo]

That was really odd - wasn’t he offside? Putting the dive to one side (not that we’ll hear much about that).

 

[Jinky]

Grealish & Bowen have turned the game around.

 

[Jack Regan]

Not a massive amount of contact (Kane ended up making more contact with himself) but there was definitely a brush from the defenders leg.

Kane was certainly offside when the ball went forward (although the pass wasn't too him) then think it must have played on by a German touch after that.

 

[jd1981]

Mount, Saka and Sterling were awful. Grealish and Bowen were very good when they came on.
Bellingham the real bright spot of the night really good at regaining possession and picking a pass.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Decent game that. Both sides had some good moments and others where they have work to do.

Maguire looks done, reminds me of a less overweight version of Paul Butler when we had to drop him in 2002. Needs a move (though United will find it hard to shift him) and a reset. He shouldn't be in the squad for now, he's all over the place.

 

[YoungWolf]

Saka has has been absolutely shocking.

He looked exhausted tbf. Bowen instantly made a difference, as did Grealish before that
