England v Croatia 13.06.21 2pm ko

[JimW]

Running out of captains

 

[dessiato]

A refreshing 27c here after four days of 30c plus . Hydration relief has been sub contracted to Sagres .

Yes, it's better here, even at this temperature, we've had 40 this week.

[xenon]

Fairplay, job done.

 

[blairsh]

Lol

 

[two sheds]

wehey

 

[Sprocket.]

Am chuffed with that.
I’m sure Phillips has Norman Hunter on his shoulders.

 

[Steel Icarus]

That was a very professional performance. Good start.

 

[blairsh]

Just need the fucking sun to come out here now.

 

[The39thStep]

controlled large parts of the game , always looked more likely to score and the defence looks better without Maguire

 

[Steel Icarus]

Where did that fan get a quarter-size Harry Maguire head?

[JimW]

Solid opening win

 

[tommers]

Nice to watch an England game where we never looked like fucking up.

 

[Lord Camomile]

He won Series 12 of Taskmaster.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ooh, are those headphones so Sterling can here the questions better? If so, that's great

[JimW]

Pools beat Stockport in the NL playoff in the day's bigger game. Bad luck steps.

 

[ska invita]

Yes, that smell of panic finally washed out of the kit I hope

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Good match!!

 

[Steel Icarus]

I think key was Southgate started with two ostensibly holding midfielders but Phillips didn't play like that at all. I think he knows what he's doing you know

 

[Lord Camomile]

Blasphemy

 

[Lord Camomile]

People are far more knowledgeable than me and were almost certainly paying more attention, but I feel like a lot of the post-match coverage/comments seem to be overlooking some dicey and difficult moments

 

[Voley]

Enjoyed that. First 20 minute we were ace - heat got the better of both sides after that, I think. Went fucking mental when Sterling scored. COME ON ENGLAND !!!

Yes the double pivot in front of the defence was excellent . Both can tackle , screen and pass but Philips is a gem .

 

[tommers]

So when do they give us the trophy?

You can take your pints from the bar as soon as you've paid.

Good day for England bad day for the racists .
