Brazil giving a lot of freekicks away.
Internationals March (Euro Play-Offs + Friendlies)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
The duality of man
Whoever said that could not be more wrong. England are not sitting back. They are pressing high. Playing a high line. Playing the match in Brazil's half.
Paqueta looking for an early shower.
Paqueta is sent off already if this is a CL game. Been rubbish.
There are so many mysterious, what happened to Jimmy Hoffa, who really killed JFK, how did the build the pyramids. But perhaps the greatest is, how is Conor Gallagher starting for England.
Brazil playing like an average European team
Man. City would've signed him if the betting thing hadn't blown up.
If they put Luiz on instead of Gomes then that is still a quality midfield while Brazil regenerate other areas of the team. They have certainly gone down the European route where they don't have many quality options for CF and are overflowing with wide attackers instead.
Brazil won't be winning a World cup again until another world class CF is developed I suspect. Endrick will still only be 19 when the 2026 one kicks off so feels a little too early for him to be effective in that.
Anyone know how this kinda football from Brazil goes down with their fans? I can't imagine they're too pleased playing like a Sam Allardyce team.
Iffy Maguire.
I would say the same for England too
Phew!
Fantastic save. Or I guess not
Oh Maguire 
Feel like England are always set up in a decent way but rely on 'moments' all the time. For a side with as much attacking quality it does that's not good enough. Especially when the defence is suspect. The quicker Maguire is replaced by Konsa/Branthwaite the better.
You can guarantee a big Maguire mistake every time he plays. That's just what he is. Sometimes you get away with it, sometimes you don't. So far so good tonight.
There's our boy
Doing his thingThere's our boy
Maguire’s like Tony Adams.
Brazil are just a bunch of cloggers
They are playing their reserve front 3 though. Wouldn’t expect them to be this average with Kane, Saka and Rashford.
One of the best English centre backs and captains ever?
It's quite astonishing that a game with such incredible young talent is absolutely devoid of any quality whatsoever. Awful game.
Bloody hell Gallagher.
Gallagher..........
Get Mainoo on ffs.
Get Mainoo on ffs.
Incredibly average sides.
Brazil just lacks quality, no idea about their coach.
England has Southgate, who most of the time will be bailed out by the sheer quality of the squad.

Actually no he’s nothing like him.
Gallagher
Maguire for England is like his worst days for United, he looks a nervous wreck.
And this is after a great display against Liverpool.

Is Gallagher Chelsea captain?
Would like to see Mainoo play but perhaps it’s for the best he doesn’t come on the way the Brazil team are persistently scything down England players.
Chilwell can't cross either.
It must be a Chelsea thing.
Chilwell again
Feels like Chilwell been out on the lash with Mason Mount again....been woeful once past the halfway line. That's a problem area for England now.
Ohwell with the cross
I wonder if posters here are aware this is a friendly. Nations League game seem to have skewed expectations.
