Commentators doing their best to polish the proverbial turd

Untill a lad at work said this afternoon.
" Are you watching it later"..

Watching what mate.

I honestly did not have a clue England were playing tonight.
Pointless
All the same teams qualifying as normal.
Hype up England
Play rag players.
Go out as soon as they play anyone decent.
Same as next time

Agreed, media making it out this is a tricky game but they are 32nd in the rankings. Group qualifying as you said is more about who comes 2nd as 1st is almost guaranteed for the seeded teams. I bet Rice costs more than their starting 11. Be more interesting if they did the CL league games with random games inc against fellow seeded teams.

We're actually playing some good stuff right now

Without threatening

 

[madloaf]

Not a lot of belief there from Serbia in the counter attack.

 

[super_city_si]

Bit of inexperience showing from Anderson there. I thought he was a winger?

 

[discopop]

Whilst this shit show is on the big H has scored and assisted for Norway

 

[heslops barnet]

Asking myself why the fuk am I watching this shite

 

[remember arthur mann]

I see the grappling has made its way from the swamp and Clanfield to the England team.

 

[deano ou812]

I'm not sure madueke is good at all.

Has a bit of Wanchope about him he doesn’t actually know what he’s going to do ..

Funny not many say Norway are a better team without him!

Hope he has a few lined up for Sunday

The media narrative the FA are feeding them is these games are a necessary evil to qualify for the world cup and Engerland aren't shit.

 

[hertsblue]

Is this the England team that’s going to frighten opponents in World Cup 2026?

There are not that many great international teams these days tbh. Would expect England to beat most bar Spanish, France perhaps

There are a fair few teams we'd draw against and then lose in a penalty shoot out to.

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Declan Lice still dining on those two
Real Madrid set pieces.

 

[super_city_si]

Settled in to a stalemate already.

I think England are playing some good stuff. Serbia looking to defend deep so moving the ball quickly is key. My main criticism and something I'm not sure we can solve, is Kane. He scores so many goals but he has a tendency to drop deeper to get involved in the game but I think we would benefit from someone just staying in the box and look to play him in or cross it because we don't have players that are good enough to break sides down otherwise (in this squad with Palmer, Saka, Foden and Bellend missing out)

 

[dadnlad]

Well he cant control it

surprised we didnt sign him then

 

[Fordyboy46]

22 mins in and zzzzzzzzzzzz again

 

[heslops barnet]

About time England fuked Arry Kane off
