Please start Shaw and Grealish. Responsible for both goals.

Exact same foul as against Kane but gets given this time?

I understand why you'd want to keep sterling in the starting line up, even if I think others could do a better job, but there is no excuse for not starting grealish in front of shaw.

It has changed the match entirely having them two working together, and they are the reason were winning.

Saka did his best, but he should not be starting ahead of grealish

Maguire's been brilliant as well, absolute rock and leader

I know the German coach has always had questionable style but did I just see smart trousers with pull cords? If so where do I get them?!

Grealish has to be first team from now on. We are so much more threatening with him in the team. It has brought other players into the game.

I'll accept 3-4-5-6-7 more years of Southgate for this victory.... forget pulling off the full thing. This is an incredibly feeling....

He had a shocker to be fair. His goal doesn't change that, but it may just ignite him to finally start playing in this tournament.
He got nothing on your first WW game!

Let's hope you're right ;)

And now they’re ironically playing it’s coming home through the stadium speakers. Love the English sense of irony
