Go Ukraine

 

[Lord Camomile]

Thought the match started at 5:30pm, turned it on just as they were showing replays of the Ukraine goal

Whoops

 

[planetgeli]

Kyle Walker's first goal under his 77th cap. No England player has ever waited longer to score.

Good goal too. Kane's good in central midfield isn't he.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Sweet Christmas, Dion Dublin is a dull commentator.

 

[planetgeli]

Maguire's clearance there lol. Proper Sunday pub team stuff.

Static performance from England tonight

 

[Maggot]

Ukraine celebrating like they won.

 

[manji]

The Ukrainians are great in defence...

Poor counter offensive.

 

[Ax^]

Ukraine celebrating like they won.

world ranking 30 team ecks out a draw with a top 5 ranked team

Peter Shilton?

Seriously though, Gary Neville never scored for England, and he got 85 caps. Ashley Cole's the same, but with 107 caps.

Isn’t that the point? They never scored so can’t claim the record for most games before their first goal. Bit of a meaningless stat though.

Christ, never realised I was being controversial.

They were (are) waiting for longer tho.

They were (are) waiting for longer tho.

Chilwell's not great, and Shaw is injured, so Cashley might still do a decent job.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Friendly v Australia this evening, ahead of a Nations League game against Italy on Tuesday.

So far: it's absolutely teeming it down, it's a relatively inexperienced starting XI, and the defense look very uncertain, leading to some very hairy moments for our 'keeper

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aaaaaaaand now two England players 'done a Gazza' at the same ball across the box

Well, one was a Gazza, the other was... can't remember who's done it, but basically got everything mixed up and tried to kick the ball as it went through their own legs, 5 yards from a completely open net

This lot look wet

 

[Lord Camomile]

Both

Bloody hell Australia gone close twice

 

[Lord Camomile]

What the hell happened with that Maddison 'shot'??!

That was some mishit!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bloody hell Australia gone close twice

Aye, they're proper going at England, and though I'm generally an advocate of giving opportunities to players, this team definitely look like they're currently suffering from a lack of coherence and familiarity with each other.

 

[two sheds]

Bloody hell Australia gone close three times

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bloody hell Australia gone close three times

England have had their chances too, tbf. That ball across the box earlier, and now Watkins doing a very humbling homage to my "do everything right except score" signature move.

 

[two sheds]

Lovely goal, Alexander Arnold is something else

 

[Lord Camomile]

Weeeeeeell, bollix.

Good movement in the box, but not great defending

 

[Puddy_Tat]

oops

 

[planetgeli]

Er, we scored about 5 minutes ago

(echo, echo)

 

[planetgeli]

Wow, g'wan Rashford

 

[tommers]

What a fucking goal. Bellingham man. And great finish from Rashford.
