There one ex-player doing a bit of punditry on this game that was one of the biggest culprits for dropping out of friendlies. You are right though, our players risk injury while other feign it.

It looks Italy is controling well the match so far...
We aren't doing anything in Russia, they're imposing their game on us.Hope José can take some time out of his schedule of ragging United fans to tear Southgate a new one.
At least Smalling isn't there so Jones can't injure him.
Some bitterness no?
That corner was.... surprising
It's alright saying that we need a Wilshere in the midfield, but what good is a smart midfielder if we don't operate within spaces between the lines in the first place?
English football largely shifts from flank to flank and relies more on individual improvisation than rehearsed movement.

Boruc off with a guard of honour 
shit just got teary.
shit just got teary.No, he is a flopper. And I loved Ravanelli.
It is amazing how good Ozil looks when playing with actual footballers.
Sané looks very motivated, creating danger in lots of situations. Could be immense for us at the WC, if he conserves this form.
It's scary how good this France side could be if they were clinical. Phenomenally wasteful and inefficient in front of goal, but ridiculously talented.
Ahem, if he was playing for Monaco would you say the same?
Anyway lets see what Mister Santos has in the menu for the Saudis
[United Forum poster] Wouldn't be any good for us then [/United Forum poster]
“Clever play” says Hoddle to Vardy manufacturing a foul there
Yeah, Mbappé and Coman are taking turns on Davies, they humiliate him but in the end can't deliver a good ball.
Sounds like Olivier Giroud.
Sounds very much like Coman.
Good save by Pickford.
Just noticed Darmian has started for Italy..
What on earth are these managers seeing in him?
I really don't rate him.

Werner can't beat Pickford once more. We should have scored by now.
Pickford > Mignolet
For a moment I thought you mean United.
Every goalkeeper in the premier league > Mignolet.
the system is right and no square pegs are in round holes but their football IQ is very low overall so tie open
Steekelenburg>Mignolet
Don't embarrass yourself mate, watch the game before commenting.
Only bad news so far is Verratti for the second leg...
Me > Mignolet
Jorginho should be starting for Italy. He's a master a controlling the tempo.
Livermore is terrible.
Lotus cheek looks a player
How are England not ahead here.
England with a shitload of chances in those last minutes. Our squad already in the dressing room mentally.
nah he is massively overrated and a liability to be honest
Loftus-Cheek is having a great game.
Good thing they're as wasteful as our guys.
Italy is woeful. I don't think the manager has any clue, they have more good players on the bench than in starting XI.
