[Vacamion]

 

The ref bears a certain resemblance to Leandro "I see Dead People" Trossard.

Maybe everyone can get behind them now

Obviously, England haven’t been good tonight, Serbia have just been shit. Can’t win with some people.

Is this a general cultural thing with them, or is it just in football?..

Serbia is a lovely place for a trip. The people are friendly and hospitable.

Football supporters.. not so much. A bit like Galatasary. Greece and the people are lovely. The Gala supporters however are very hostile towards any opposition, although they are probably the same friendly people you might encounter as a tourist

They might’ve had a chance if they hadn’t put 11 behind the ball but we can only play what’s in front of us.

They certainly wouldn't be friendly if you call them Greek

I mean they have actually been shit  but England have played really well. This has been the most comfortable and convincing performance of the campaign in what was the most difficult fixture.

Calling a Turk Greek would be like going down the Falls Road and saying “I love Britain”. 

[JonnyZeroFox]

These Serbians bloody hell 

[RowlattsFox]

Serbia approach has been helpful but its been nice to see more direct players around Kane. Less tippy tappy stuff around the area.

Literally everyone on here is saying England have played well

I've thought this, but then come back to wondering how these small nations' game becomes viable if they're only playing each other.

 

For mostly amateur associations, the TV money they get every couple of years when the BBC or ITV wants the rights to Andorra/San Marino etc v England most likely keeps their FA going until the next time. How much TV money, gate receipts etc is Liechtenstein v Gibraltar realistically going to generate? 

Good points. 👍

Agree about the Serbs though, the general population is friendlier and more open than much of the Balkans in my experience despite their reputation being totally the opposite.

Some run that from Rogers

I often wonder how the American tourist is who I met in a bar in Belfast and recommended to do this.

[Guest Bilo]

We've been class in fairness and completely outplayed them from the outset. A huge improvement from squeaking past them in the Euros last year.

[StanSP]

Looked a harsh red, that. Unless it was a high tackle. 

[Guest Bilo]

Straight red for Milenkovic. 

 

A nice preview of how he'll get on in a high line. 😂

My bad. I got my nations mixed up 

 

Of course I knew Galatasary are Cypriot

[StanSP]

Nope, tough red. Obviously a clear foul but Kane was going well away from goal. 

[RowlattsFox]

Never a red card. 

[Lionator]

Milenkovic has taken the Nuno sacking well then
