Real composure there. Waited just a bit by feinting a shot and placed it.That goal by Sturidge though. I've watched it a few times now and I still can't work out how he managed it.
I hope he starts the next game.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
If Kane and Sterling are even in consideration for the next game then it will be a crime.
Glad we won. A big feck you to Bale.

You are and you sound as shocked as me. Don't count on it happening again though.
Does it really fecking matter how he scored? He came on at half time and got the equaliser, which is a hell of a lot more than the guy he replaced did.
Rooney had a very good game.
Managed to get it over a falling defender with no back-lift and curled it in the corner. Was a great take.
Great call from the linesman in fairness. I was sure he was a mile offside at first.

We're through now so we should be rotating a lot of players imo. Allow some to get rests, others the chance to impress.
YES! England really desrved to win this match.
Sturridge and Vardy should start next game.

What about Danny Dri … oh, forget it!
What role was he playing? Deep midfield?
Vardy. Preditor. Good Lad.
Chimp-face was the one doing the trash talking. Are you celebrating because it was only a 2-1 defeat??What happened to the 3-0, 4-0 you guys were talking about?
Oh here we go with the Rooney praise
We're not necessarily through, are we?
What a twat
Neville's celebration
Kane's done for the tournament, I think. He's just not fit, after a long season.
Important win for England but we really need to create more chances.

OH well , one can but try, still funny though.
Very curious to see Woy's team for the next game. I think he'll only drop Sterling.
Hate Joe Hart but even I have to admit I loved seeing him run up to celebrate.
Yeah I agree, he's lethal when on form. Better bet than Kane against high-class oppo.
Kane's stock is falling with every game it seems.
Dier was the holding midfielder. Rooney was sort of a number 8.
Pretty much. 4 points should guarantee qualification given 3 can qualify from a group.
Sturridge has to start ahead of Kane from this point.
Was shocked to see them starting this game. He goes out there with Kane, Vardy, Sturridge and Rashford and just starts Kane in the first 2 matches. Only God will ever know why he did that.

I thought Rooney played well too and that is coming from one of his biggest bashers on here last season.
Yup. He looks knackered
Sturridge and Rashford were good, Vardy scored... that's great substitutions I would say.
Also think that Wales were far more concerned about what Vardy had to offer then Kane.
That's a try at part of England's new formation, not the scoreWhat happened to the 3-0, 4-0 you guys were talking about?
Just need to get rid of Dier for another striker and they might be getting close
4-0-1-5
Got to admit I laughed both times
He was ok, nothing more.
I don't know how much credit you can really give to Roy. He had literally no other option but to do that. At the end of the day its easy to make changes when you have strikers of the quality of Vardy,Rashford and sturidge on the bench. He got it completely wrong in the first half.
So wish I was there right now. Just want to chant..
You wouldn't want him replacing Alli anyway.
Would have Wilshere starting for Alli. Sturridge for Kane and probably Rashford for Sterling.
Vardy too for Lallana, though think Lallan would balance things a bit better.
Comparisons to Pirlo are somewhat mental!
I didn't get the urge like I normally do to have him substituted asap when the team needed something.
The only way this England team is going to have a chance at winning the whole thing would be to field a more attacking front three. One striker and two playmakers isn't a dynamic enough threat. They need more interchange and striker's runs to churn up the defense. I think the impact of the subs showed that today.
I don't get why Vary was left out. After the season he had, how's he not the fort name on the team sheet? He is exactly the type of player that makes a front three a persistent and dynamic threat.
Roy needs to make the threat with strikers, not Lallana and Sterling. Keep them for subs into the midfield when you have the opposition pinned back but aren't getting anything for it.

He did great for the winning goal though and got the assist
Beyond mental.
