I'd prefer it if he was playing, at 44 I doubt he can still do our defence for pace.Trying not to get too carried away against Shevchenko's lads, just glad he isn't playing

Yeah but we got the point we needed to qualify. No stress for the 3rd match. A clean sheet guaranteed that. It did the job. QED :-)And how many conceded?
The England-Scotland game was hardly a goal laden thriller, but a dull 0-0 on a wet evening3 shots on target in total ......woot

The playacting from the Italians in their game was ridiculous, although the Belgians were at it too. It's the kind of thing that makes football fans embarrassed

A clear case for a booking, VAR should be constantly looking for such in the background and advising the ref to book players; would quickly cut a lot of it out.

Do you think Grealish will be on from the start, or is he going to be used as an impact sub again.
Southgate seems to want him as an impact sub.
I would like to see him start but doubt he will.

Likewise, I would like to see him start, he is one of England's most creative players and for the life of me cannot understand why he doesn't start him, but then again I am a fan and not a coach or someone who has played the game at a pro/semi pro level. Southgate obviously sees things many do not.

Maybe. I still veiw pens as mainly a lottery (winners will disagree, no doubt!)Switzerland REALLY annoyed me last night.
They had that game won but some of their penalties were pathetic*.
First time for a while I have sat on the couch ranting and shouting.
TBH Spain's were only marginally better.
SWI threw it away with the sending off, I reckon. Before that they had a foot in the next round, IMO. Spain were very very lucky to win that, very unimpressive.
(and they will now go on to win the bloody thing ...)
Weird match.
*Danny Murphy managed incisive commentaty moment of the tournamant. Player kicks ball clean over the ball:
"That's a terrible penalty kick." Thanks Danny.

I quite like Danny Murphy's commentary, along with Lee Dixon although they both state the bleedin' obvious at times compared to the pro commentators.

Thanks. Having just switched over from the football at 2-0 to watch a repeat of Taggart, and logged in here, I was about to google a new avatar!

PS.... Please remember, it's not anti English; it's pro Danish. We had Danish neighbours back in the 70's, who were very nice people. I'm doing it for them!
