Does he know he can use 5 subs?

Austria North Macedonia will surely be a step up from this.

Take a sad song ...

[Jattdogg]

Bell in ham.

 

Its meant to be. Bang one in lad!

[spacemunky]

Pickford makes every save look difficult.

[lnkstern]

Jude Bellingham, 17 years old.

 

I think I was still eating paste at 17.  At least as far as I can remember.

 

Good on ya, son!

[Tielemans63]

This has been a decent performance. We've done okay IMHO 

[Col city fan]

Honestly thought Croatia were better than this. They’ve offered nothing coming forward 

[AS78UK]

Give the players on the bench sometime on the pitch.   

[MattFox]

Southgate’s football is pretty uninspiring but he tends to get results

They used to be...

[Vacamion]

 

Sterling scored, but it was nearly saved and he ain't been all THAT good.

 

Not sure what Jenas is seeing.

This is England in a nutshell to be honest. Do just about enough to get by but never really fill you with confidence that they can really go on to win anything 

[Countryfox]

Should’ve been booked ...  child abuse.

They’ve not been great. The energy has gone from this game now though. 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

The optimists will say we will grow into the tournament after winning by not playing particularly well.

 

The cynics will say same old England.

[old koppite]

I thought Mount was a world beater. Where has he been second half? 

[Countryfox]

Hmmmmm ...   not convincing imo.

[Tielemans63]

Phillips MOTM for me. Very good.

[Vacamion]

 

4 minutes is a bit short, given the injuries and subs.

Maybe we dragged them down to our level and beat them with experience?
