Is there a rule aabout number of City players on the pitch? How is Sterling still there? Shocking management.

Far far too slow.

Reese James is one of the worst for it, soon as he gets it, its stop and pass backwards. No urgency, no one on the front foot.

Its like United were before Bruno came into the team.

Scotland deserve at least a point, they’ve been excellent. Played the game of their lives.

England will finish second, get a plum draw in the round of 16 and fall into the quarter finals.

England are happy with a point here. Gareth doesn’t fancy winning the group.

I’ve seen them given for less than that. I have no qualms with that not being one, far from, but the inconsistency is annoying.
Yeah based on the PL I’ve seen them given but I’d prefer them to be consist and not give them. I think we can both agree that VAR is great but the way it’s used is awful

Can't believe there's still no Sancho yet (and that Rice and Phillips are still there together, so negative).

Southgates only hope is that he puts out an 11 that can do it themselves. Strange that he keeps his best players on the bench.

England playing brilliantly, any more creativity would be overkill, really, so no wonder Sancho can't get in there

Just like watching United. A talented group of players being held back by a mediocre manager out of his depth. Solskjaer is a slightly better coach than Southgate though.

moyes would have done more with this England side.

this slow build up approach, walking around the pitch side way passing is criminal. And the two DMs is so idiotic

Sorry guys it’s not coming home !
But at least it won’t be far away, you’ll just have to watch beyond the sea to have a glance at it. You even can take a train to have a closer look at it. It’s not that bad…

Pretty much sums up where England are really. So much hyperbole from the media and ex players, trying to build up a tournament that we are never going to win, even with home advantage for most games! Southgate has always been a crap manager and always will be, Neville should be embarrassed with his ‘Southgate is England’s greatest asset’ rubbish.

Soon as we play anyone decent we’ll get comfortably beaten.

Amazing that this England team is rated as 2nd favourites to win the Euros by the bookmakers.
