Pretty terrible game. One moment of quality from Kalvin Phillips won it for us.
His best performance of the season he saidElectric Jenas called him.
Yeah. Creativity was pretty low.Pretty terrible game. One moment of quality from Kalvin Phillips won it for us.
Come on Rodney. You're talking about it being hard to support the national team because they are not entertaining? It is sport, it is competition. It's about winning.What industry is football part of? Entertainment. If something fails to entertain, is it fulfilling its role? No.
Rashford’s lack of pressing when he came on was because England weren’t pressing... it was a tactical decision to get men behind the ball.Hard pressed to tell the difference between Rashford and Martial at the moment the way both of them saunter around the pitch.
How are you English and so robotic and cold about the nation you're from? Boring way to be, more boring than watching England that's for sure.Yes, but England are hard to support. Too much arrogance, too much negativity, too little passion. Other teams put England to shame constantly, tournament after tournament.
Smaller national teams throw their all in, despite not having the best players. Can you say England did so today? No, we sat back and played the game as slow as possible.
Just like Wiltord in 02Pretty terrible game. One moment of quality from Kalvin Phillips won it for us.
We've had about five genuinely exciting England games in the 35 years or so I've been watching them.Here was me thinking England might be exciting to watch. Total borefest.
Why so touchy? You've been picking fights with anyone vaguely critical of how boring and shit England have been.shameful for coming out and winning their first game of the tournament. Something that we’ve never done before.
will take shameful every match!
They are not shit at all. Lots of talent in there and good manager. And of course most English support their national team. Some people just love being negative. There is nothing inherently wrong with this team.I still don't really get it. Granted I'm not English but I'll always support my national team no matter how shit they are.
It's just crazy.“His best England performance” apparently. Must be a low bar
Refuting MarxismWhere were the fans during the game?
Jenas said man of the match, the same guy who earlier said fouls win International tournaments and "look there's Rooney, he's an England fan for today".the pundits must have watched a different game
Southgate seems to get a free ride from the English punditsthe pundits must have watched a different game
Didn't shit the bed this timeSolid result but how are people impressed by this England performance?
It’s job done, but it was a bizarre selection, lots of tinkering, and the performance was flat. Doesn’t fill me with confidence for when we come up against a stronger team.It's the first game. A load of players got a run out. It'll be job done if it's ends 1-0. There's plenty of time to grow into the tournament.
By people do you mean the BBC team? Because nobody other than them are.Solid result but how are people impressed by this England performance?
To be fair, Croatia is a very strong team so whether England won by "being boring" or in any other way - still win is a win and great result.Why so touchy? You've been picking fights with anyone vaguely critical of how boring and shit England have been.
It's the first game of the competition and they won over one of the best teams. I don't get how you can be so critical of England players.Solid result but how are people impressed by this England performance?
I don't care about the players not even being good (hence, what I said about the smaller teams). What I can't stand is when a team with better players do not even try to be entertaining. They got away with the absolute bare minimum today.I still don't really get it. Granted I'm not English but I'll always support my national team no matter how shit they are.
