Awful. Completely dire! Sack Southgate at half time and choose someone from the crowd.

LIneker or Shearer (as they are today) would have offered more than Kane has...

So is this it? Will England fans reminisce for years to come about that glorious first 25 minutes of Euro 2020 :lol:

With all the great full back options we have, it’s extremely impressive we’ve ended up with one this shite

How do England manage to turn their most talented squad of players in living memory into that I will never know. Failure, it seems, finds a way.

Too slow through midfield. Kane is taking himself out of positions to score from. Relying on a misfiring Sterling to add goal threat behind Kane while theres a lot of ohs and ahs they arent that threatening.
England needs Rashford or Sancho just to run in behind

Croatia really aren't very good anymore. Considering your squad you should be beating them easily over 90.

Gary Lineker desperately trying to tell us England have been great. Do they think their viewers are stupid?

The first 20/25 minutes was the perfect time to score. We had a lot of the ball and were getting into some great areas. Didn't make the most of that opportunity. After that, it's been a bit too casual. I worry that this game will just pass us by and we'll keep being "patient" as time just ticks away.

They may as well call it a draw and dont come out for second half

Sterling's major contribution has been jumping into the defender who then handled the ball.

Read he was just left out because Saka/Rashford/Grealish. Yup. Saka.
I'd make an argument sancho is better than all 3. Grealish is maybe the only one.

Rashford obviously has that pace to get in behind, probably the only one in the squad, so I can also understand that.

I suppose he thinks Saka can literally play anywhere.

It's the 2 keepers on the bench confuses me.
