Maguire with some outstanding turnstyle defending there. Been good against mediocrity in this tournament, have severe doubts about his ability against real talent.

Not only do England have the luckiest draw, they are gonna reach the final while playing championship football.
I think that also. This is classic british style from 20-30 years ago. Just cross the ball and play defence. Can't believe that in 2018 year that style is working. England can win this wc.

This BBC commentator is now shouting. It’s a bit cringeworthy

Fair play to England.....

Delighted for them and Southgate. Hopefully they keep grounded after this

“English blockade” in the “Kingdom of Jordan.”

Come on now commentators, have a word with yourselves...

It is because it is a rather poor standard at the top of the game right now. People have tried to argue that football is better than it has ever been but I just can't see it. This WC has been great fun, but the quality has not been high.

Henderson very good indeed.

Don't understand why you say it is a United team though:confused:

Southgate will never have to buy another pint for the rest of his life.

He's already sorted for pizza and waistcoats. That's the trifecta.
