No way he s missing that if a world cup game

Saka, 5 yards over the bar... I can do that!

shocking finishing

ML-S, the Tom Daley of North London.

guehi was ok as a journeymen cb now he,s at city and think he,s a footballer he,s a liability

saka been saka never does anybody do so little with so many touches

England have done quite well to steady the ship to some extent, and had a couple of attacks, but

HA!!!

1-1.

Gordon is quick.

Spain forgetting to defend

GTFI!!!!!

Spain panic, wow

1-2

GREAT STUFF

GREENED UP....

Just shows if they concentrate on playing and not diving, particularly the Arsenal players, they can do damage.

Spain have been far too casual.

Bit like Spanish waiters, far too casual
and missing the table with the sangria and paella.

Could be some new staff for 2nd half.

great 1st half

I think the way forward, is to back Spain and the draw....

I agree

i find it staggering in moderrn football/epl how many player,s take themselves out of the game and get beyond the ball even defenders, situation on the trafford one on one save, before torres was put through,guehi had already got beyond the play in their half and konsa runs 20 yds to try and win a header on the halfway line and misses it,2 cb,s out of the game in spains half,absolute madness, earlier in half gehi chased torres 30 yds in to spanih half 75 yds from his own goal line ,been times when guehi looked like he wa playing in midfield and anderson at CB, and we,re playing the world champions

but kane lands goal or assist at 11 to 8 so hey ho

England could score again the way Spain are defending

pen ?

yep

Manuel dropped the hamster, and ref tried not to see it

slipped

Dodgy penalty, diving before contact.

FFS.

was a bit dodgy, but missed anyway.

Kane trying to kick the ball too hard

yep that wa a dive for me already made up his mind  up he was going down , whats rodri supposed to do

Fawlty walked into the bar

Ffs

Desmond arrives,...

Funny game this

man city defenders try 2 assists in 30 ec , gobmacking defending , guehi/oriley

2 man citeh errors

If you haven't made money on this match. give up!

now konsa trying for an assits tossed away in midfiled as hes, in front of 2 spanish attacker,mindblowing

If Spain score another, I'm gonna need a wheelbarrow...

To go with the other 114

Quansah is having a bit of a mare…..keeps giving away possession……

I'm still waiting for Anderson to get himself booked. He did a pretty bad tackle a while ago, but the ref wasn't looking.

guehi again ahead of the ball in spains half 10 yds behind attacker running away from him, booked for bringing him down, junkies at running pat/beyond the ball

Thought Gordon was playing well. Surprised he was subbed.

Garner should have started

Gordon's not had much football

Probably got another game for England.

was coming, onside

All a bit easy there,

And normal service resumes.........

2 cb,s,and oriely all facing their own goal

kane must be feeling a bit tom and mick

If Yamal could finish, and his final pass was better...

Olé indeed

3 paellas on the table 4 or 5 more on the floor.

Spain don't mind missing good chances probably because they know they'll always be more

garner joins the party ,sometime,s you just cant get the ball just hold your ground dont try to nick it and take yourelf out of the game

on does trays,

Did not have a bet, however I assume England fans are happy, think both teams have made mistakes however it has been very entertaining and not much in it.

Yes proper game of football but we had to go through so many bad game s and you wonder who is controlling the games it seems to me the betting companies.

"Obviously conceding three goals is not ideal."

You don't say.

SADJOE ...

  And normal service resumes.........Cool

Pathetic individual.

you can see the value of anderson in a mid table side/set up,but when your main asset is doing everything pretty averagely,average doent really cut it at the elite level,he doent really do anything at a high level

Sad Joe is definitely a peculiar fella

Enjoyable game. Spain 39 games unbeaten.

Not sure why they keep saying Harry’s penalty hit the bar for 3-1…..it would have been disallowed if it had gone in for the double touch…..

yep decent

For a neutral that was entertaining. I know people would laugh, I would like to see the same England 11 out minus Harry. Always feel in the biggest games he does not cut it in enough high stakes games. That said wish he played for N Ireland. Good game almost like a high tempo friendly not UEFA Nations qualifier.

ROgers is PANTS
Who paid £117m for that dog s h i t e

Anderson shouldn't be on free kicks

Why doesn't Bellingham take more?

Much better game than I expected, spain could have had 6,but had pelanty gone in
to make it 3-1, who nose.

Are ya raging pal......

obviously he doesnt rate him,but when your giving up a dozen chances anyway ,there,s no rhyme or reason not to start TAA in front of  quansah

few english ladies gonna be waking up with a black eye tomorrow morn i fear

Sad Joe is definitely a peculiar fella

Not been the same since Celtics Double humping.

Tuchel's subs didn't work out again, but Spain are hard to beat.

Can't accommodate trent in such a poor defence, sadly.

Who was the last team to beat Spain in a competitive game in 90 mins? Must be some country to have beaten this lot....

Joe sorting his Pally Kit out for the big game tomorrow

Anyone?

yeh but if your given up 20 chances without him what difference does his defending make, imagine him with all the ball QUANSAH had in the lat third, what difference does it make if TAA gives 21,22,23 chances away instead of 20 ?,can understand  if leaving him out makes us hard to get at/beat,but it doesnt

Who has never qualified for the knockout stages of an International tournament? anyone?

nice to see mes on official thread

Got to have one capable defensive full back so other one can get forward.

Not sure we have a solid left back to get trent in.

I'd love to see trent play, maybe he would work
with Lewis Hall.... Worth a look.

About 90% of the world's countries...

32 teams qualified for knock out stages at last world cup

There are 211 countries in fifa

So that's 15% in one tournament.

Loads of teams qualified for continental cups knock out stages too.

Are there any outside of absolute minnows that
havnt done so?

Think Scotland are classed as an absolute minnow

You've only proved my point yhtl, 85 % didn't progress, mes is demonstrably not very bright, but I thought more of you.....

That's one tournament, there have been dozens

Only absolute minnows won't have made it past first phase.

You haven't got two GCSE's to rub together Sadjoe based on the quality of your posts, which exhibit little man syndrome 95% of the time. We can't all support big clubs and big footballing nations, accept your lot and you'll be a happier person.  Kind Regards.

Sadjoe has been a shell of a man since nichola turned her back on him and moved to London.
