UEFA Nations League

Southgate really rates Ben as an attacker ... impressive how much of the ball he is seeing and how far upfield he is playing.

[Carl the Llama]

Makes me nervous when a team does a back-pass towards the goal, at least aim it a bit wide in case the keeper has a mare.

[Nalis]

Get used to 3pm kick offs finishing well after 5pm next season.

Kane is the new Rooney.  Lombard and Rashford would have been better

[fazzyfox]

I notice the added 7 mins, if there are a couple of VAR reviews per half should we get used to 7 or 8 mins over the typical 3 or 4 we get now?

[Carl the Llama]

Lucky boy, Harry.

[spacemunky]

C'mon Harry!

Yeah the Charlton defender in the play off final didnt get that memo.

[spacemunky]

The good thing is that when the ball falls to any of the Dutch forwards, there's a zero chance they'll score.

[spacemunky]

Nice take from Sterling.

[Countryfox]

Extra time ...   this is anybody’s ..

[Carl the Llama]

Gotta say I fancy our chances in ET if we can keep this fluidity up.

More of that , much better unlucky with the offside

VAR goes for and against England in tbe matter of seconds - both decisions probably correct in all fairness .

 

Took quite a while for a clear cut decision though .

Why did it go for England?  The ref didn’t give a pen ??. 

[fazzyfox]

If we wanted to bring on a CF just to win headers couldn't we have dug out Crouchys phone number instead of Kane electing to stretcher himself onto the pitch unfit (I'm doing this in the hope of inevitable banter when he scores the winner)

[whoareyaaa]

Don't mind watching another half hour of that decent game

[RowlattsFox]

Southgate showing limitations again whilst we were ahead. Midfield needed changing way before he did. Pretty shit overall but had chances, the Sancho miss crucial. Going to lose on pens.

It's so close it's ridiculous really but I guess it has to be given. Bring back the clear daylight offside rule. 

Attackers attack, can't punish them for seeking advantage, so I agree.

I played GK and defender in my (glittering) Sunday League career and I was always pass it back to the side of each goal in case it goes under the keeper's foot or it takes a bobble. 

[Carl the Llama]

Is it harsh to suggest our better passages of play all seem to surpass Kane?

Attacker advantage is no more, harsh but correct decision 

[yorkie1999]

Holland are a good side and 1-1 after 90 mins is a good result so far

No (but he'll inevitably score the winner off his arse)

The Dutch are technically superior but we are going in the right direction. Not too long ago that it was usually like toothache watching England 

[Carl the Llama]

Shit shit shit
