That was certainly merited. They've really pushed the game in the second half.

Bellingham making that Moyes celebration look timid and respectful.

San Marino lost 3-1 to St Kitts and Nevis last week and drew 0-0 the other day against them.

Cayman islands lost 4-0 to Moldova.

Honestly a world cup of the bottom 40 teams or so would be a blast to watch

Southgate running the players into the ground for a friendly to salvage the fact he would have lost two friendlies at home :lol:

Genuinely thought England were alright there. Not like those who played shite will be anywhere near the Euros side anyway.

Good play by Maddison in the end, finding Bellingham where you want him.

Maddison more creative there, then all of Foden, Bowen, Gordon, and Bellingham combined. Criminally underrated despite his injury worries since moving to Spurs. Quality footballer.
Changed the game when he came on.

Jude is the greatest English player since when? It's tricky to compare against different positions, but he's already arguably greater than Kane, next up is Rooney?

I don't say "better" because it's quite impossible to judge

it's a soft bait

England didn't deserve to lose so it's good they got the equaliser.

Going forward we have tons of options but at the back it's pretty bare. Some pretty shit defenders making the squad at the minute.

Bellingham had been pretty poor up to that. I do think he gets a bit 'Stevie Me' when he pulls on the England shirt and thinks he can win it on his own. Brilliant player obviously.

Good job England, we played relatively well considering the amount of injuries this side has. It was 2 very poor defensive lapses that cost us the win.

Lewis Dunk has probably played himself out of the England team with another error in as many games. Mainoo should be going to the tournament with that performance barring injury, as good as a full debut as you could possibly ask for.

How did Palmer and Branthwaite get no minutes considering the performances of players in their respective positions? :lol:

Southgate 101.

Don't fancy us in extra time given how tired we look and how few other options there are on the bench, and fancy us even less on pens.

Fully expecting Poland to score with their first shot on target in the 118th minute or something. :(

all these injuries during crappy international friendlys. City have a few. Liverpool have Robertson who’s been injured. We have Maguire.

That was terrible from Dunk.

A couple of mistakes probably shouldn't make or break a player but it was more the way he shat himself with an old Lukaku running him down. No need for it. You wouldn't fancy him in a knock out crunch game looking at that.

We look clueless at the moment but I'm still quite hopeful we can pull it off
