Game 7: Serbia vs England from the Arena AufSchalke LIVE on BBC1 8pm

[Baptista_8]

Palmer needed, need to keep the ****ing thing

[The Amazing Dale Watkins]

Almost inevitable there'll be one more goal, just not sure for whom

[TalkSport]

Gallagher, Kane and Walker all giving ball away sloppy in last 2 mins. They’re all **** and need subbing. 

[kopsy101]

Yeah if Pickford doesn't make that save, he's dropped. 

[Darren Moores Mum]

Serbia have been a poor side. Really should have put this to bed.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Stojković. 

[Redshift]

MAINOOOOOOOO

[Harryseaess]

Glad Jude is managing to get a little rest. And nice that Mainoo is getting a few minutes.

[Heartwork]

Has Gallagher touched the ball yet

[aiston]

And still Foden doesn't get subbed

Yeah he's made better saves himself - 2018 World Cup for example

I don't think this one was even going in

He's seen the ball the whole way and just jumped and touched it over, him making it look more acrobatic doesnt mean it was any harder to save.

Reckon these might be the second best team in this group, as we've kept them at bay easily enough while not being great, bodes well imo

Or, if you're of another mind, we look awful and will lose the other two games

Typical Southgate performance. Scrape a poor 1-0 win and it'll be 3 points and winning teams always play poorly then get better. Except we don't.

[Haguey]

Mainoo better score immediately imo

[Zeonflux]

Just now, Heartwork said:

Yeah…..he gave away a free kick

[Redshift]

Foden Says it all.

[Harryseaess]

Great header from Stones.

[TalkSport]

I don’t think Kane has looked fit this game. Just the simple stuff he’s off the pace for me.

[Darren Moores Mum]

Errr, if that's not a foul I don't think the ball went out for a throw in

[aiston]

Oh come on

 

[Astafjevs]

Did that ball actually go out (for the Serbia throw in)?

[JJ72]

One team is finishing strongly anyway

Like squads including the likes of:

Seaman or Hart (better than Pickford)

Neville, Campbell, Terry, Cole etc in defence (better than current defence).

Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham, Scholes etc in midfield

Rooney, Owen etc up front?

 

We've had better overall squads than this coached far worse.

At those times you had stronger teams then those England squads. Now England is together with France the main challenger in every competition they enter. There are no excuses anymore, the days of being a dark horse is over, yet Southgate manage to let this team play as a sack of ****

[Haguey]

It's just long rangers, hopeful balls across to no-one and easily defended aerial balls, really been easy enough

That header was fantastic.  That aside he should have been replaced.  For me, he's been so, so poor.

Ref definitely just couldn't be ar**d with the hassle of arguing about it  

[Heartwork]

Why the quick free kick? We slowed down when we should've been going for it and then are gung-ho when we should be closing out the final 5 minutes

[EnterUsernameHere]

Worst game so far by a distance and it involves England. What a surprise.

[Andrew_]

Still going on about the save. Is there a world where that isn't saved? Literally above his head and he sees it all the way.

they’ve only managed 0.16xG from their 5 shots. We’ve been decent at keeping them out.

And the xG is all that matters imo

Yep I don't understand all the fuss over it either.

[Darren Moores Mum]

Man with WC trophy loving it

[arenaross]

My sexy Gareth optimism lasted roughly 30 minutes. Normal service has now resumed. 

[ThanatosAFC]

Imagine playing like this against France, Germany, Spain, Portugal or even a decent team like Belgium... It's not coming home then.

Well apparently we're normally terrible in Euros opening games (1 win in the last 10) so I guess we should just be grateful Serbia were worse.

[Zeonflux]

Gallagher needs sending home for that dive….

Would be the first game not to have multiple goals. Classic Southgate.

I'll take the win regardless at this early stage - but after such a positive start, I was hoping for another goal or two.

[Astafjevs]

zeonflux are you ok?

[RTHerringbone]

Where the hell is Mainoo playing?

[Smallen]

done well to get 90 minutes out of Trippier considering he’s barely played the last 4 months. He’s defended well too which is a marked difference to the last 6 months  

[Haguey]

Only the 2nd clean sheet as it stands, and Serbia are way way better than Croatia imo (may be a lie)

[JJ72]

How many free kicks have Serbia given away?

Could you imagine Southgate’s half time team talk? “Lads you gotta calm down, we’ve had reports that some fans are actually being entertained whilst watching us play”

[JJ72]

Centre forward

[Redshift]

I'll take it. The subs were encouraging.

[Harryseaess]

Easy win, commentators trying to make it seem more dramatic than it actually was.

Sad to see he's a fraud

[Baptista_8]

3 points despite Gareth

[Barnzy]

Felt like Foden didn’t realise we were trying to keep the ball last 10 mins
