Get in

Bang bang

 

[EpsomWolf]

Ooo 3-0.

Opening game, half time. Got to be content with that.

Edit: 14 mins of injury time, not ‘even’ half time.

Ooo 3-0.

Just over 30 minutes in minutes played

 

[Langers]

Ruthless so far - great stuff.

 

[WsWolf]

More annoyed that I haven't seen a competitive game yet. Boring watching shit like this.

Yeah, but this was normally the sort of shite we used to labour to a 0-0 against. I’ll take the progress.

Suppose. Nice to see a few goals at least but as a neutral I want to see good competitive games. No idea how Iran are ranked inside the top 20.

 

[sycophantia]

Best we've played for a while, got the tactics spot on and been excellent in the final third.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

I hope England haven’t peaked too soon like we did inside 10 minutes at Elland Road.

 

[The Bear]

It was a bit turgid for the first 20 mins but as soon as one went in we stepped on the gas.

 

[WsWolf]

Yeah, I think once that first goal went in England settled a bit. The tempo was awful at first but they've quickened it up. I think still missing someone who's going to dictate play from deep to beat better sides.

 

[Langers]

I would never call watching England play well 'boring'. I don't care how one sided it is - just nice to see us play with such confidence. Long may it continue.

 

[AndyWolves]

The first goal is so important in games like these, negates any benefit to Iran to slow the game down.

 

[sycophantia]

Bellingham is gunna be some player if he carries on with this rate of progress, seems to have it all.
Lineker compared him to Bryan Robson in the build up and I don't think that is ott at all.

 

[WsWolf]

These are probably even worse than Qatar were yesterday.

 

[jd1981]

These are probably even worse than Qatar were yesterday.

That I doubt very much England are playing some excellent football.

 

[EpsomWolf]

These are probably even worse than Qatar were yesterday.

Come on mate, give us some credit.

 

[WsWolf]

England have done what they needed to and have been clinical but the defending is awful.
