Serbia are a tough side. And the earlier draw means England are very much in the driving seat in the group.

I told someone that I'll be watching 'the Euros' on my not the largest size laptop out there, or listening to the radio only broadcast games on the same laptop. They seemed to think I was missing out on things. 
I remember watching this game on a 5 inch black & white screen, portable TV in Woolworths in Blackburn, one Saturday afternoon 52 years ago. How would they cope with that I wonder?!

Genius. We're not even in the same group, and ENG haven't [hadn't .. you know what I mean!] played yet - and you're already stoking the fires. Good work

Yeah. And given how rarely we win an opening game, it's hard to criticise that performance.
We are clearly now favourites for the tournament.

Yeah, everyone wants to get off to a good start but depending on how the rest of the tournament goes nobody will care or remember.
Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia in their first game at the last World Cup and went on to do rather well...
I don't think England will win, but the semis are a realistic possibility. Every team has their fragilities, but despite all the flak he gets Southgate knows when to shut up shop hold out for a result. For all their pressure in the second half Serbia only really looked like scoring once.

Oh sure, very true; but it might make a huge difference in which opponent we get in the next phase.
The voice of reason - how dull!

I’m not stoking any fires.
I find my fellow English supporters hugely embarrassing. There are a group who simply can’t e trusted to behave.
The documentary on the Wembley riot in 2021 is awful to watch.

Is all footy violence down to English supporters?
(and Are you embarrassed to be a white man? )

Good starts are over-rated.
I would question them being supporters, just thugs who latch onto football. During ganes they spend all their time tauting opposition fans and hardly watch the game.
