If you could just get score draw with one (or both) of Kane and Bellingham scoring, that'd be great. Thanks! ... Ok, ok, job done. Can you all stop playing good football now please? |

Mainoo has been top class tonight
I do worry how open we are when they break though, we’re not getting it right at all

The Netherlands have been very passive for a while for some reason

Maybe the players switched kits for a laugh?

Why does Walker never pass the ball forwards? He also looks totally gassed. Hobbling around like my Auntie.
Hopefully Southgate will make better use of our subs this game, bring them on a bit earlier.

Fuck me, Trippier going for a first time cross on his left foot. It’s all going crazy tonight.

I know Kane is the man but with the Dutch not remotely interested in defending it’d be interesting to see what trouble Toney or Watkins could make by being more mobile I think Kane is having a decent game to be fair. He dropping off, picking out passes, helping things tick over and bringing others like Foden into the game. Which has pretty much been his game for a few years now. He is kind of doing the sheringham/rooney thing as he doesn’t have the mobility/pace anymore to stretch the defence. Both Watkins and Toney are definitely options though to stretch the defence later on when they tire. |

What a superb half by England. Words I can’t recall ever putting down in ink.

Despite all the positives we are still very panicky and indecisive when we’re asked to defend
Need to maintain our structure

Bit disappointed not to be leading there. Get Shaw on for the second half and hopefully we can continue on as we were.

Fair play Gareth. I did not see this performance coming. I think this is basically as good as England can realistically play without actually addressing the left back and striker issues.
The midfield's been excellent bar Rice who had a poor start (maybe because everyone is further ahead of him?).
We just don't need Kane dropping into midfield to play passes that the others are more than capable of.
Shaw and Toney asap please.

Sounds like everyone apart from Neville has gone woke and wants all contact removed from the game

Soft pen but it's a foul elsewhere so...
Otherwise, Mainoo, Foden, Saka excellent. Jude grew into it. Even Kane has had a good game and linked well. We're a bit static at times but overall, can't grumble.

I'm with Wrighty on that one. Thought it was a late challenge from Dumfries rather than purely a block.

England have played the best I’ve seen them in this tournament, but they should be 1-0 down…
It’s a funny old game
