Reece James is a seriously good player. If everybody stays fit (lol) I think we have a chance, slim though it is.

Oooof. That was horrible, offside or not.

Lost our way a bit here.

Even better if it’s someone who has no idea when it was written. I heard it so often when I lived in Scotland. Every once in a while it was in a situation that made me slightly uncomfortable

I think it might just be that it goes on forever.

One thing I have not missed is the bloody Great Escape chant.

Dunno man. I think Anderson’s been very good indeed for England. Good to have options there though. Frankly it might be why Wharton isn’t there.

Think this ref has been pretty good overall. Waved play on for a few things that could easily have been very soft free kicks.

I genuinely had no idea he was going.

O’Reilly’s quite good, isn’t he? Thet would have been a shocking pen decision.

Did he just fall over there? I’m a bit worried the refs will interpret the new rules as simply “if a defender falls over at a set piece he gets a free kick”.

…not that I don’t agree, but you did see the goal? Lovely ball from Bellingham. Man I hope Reece James can stay fit too.

Checked, just one. Our strength in depth is going to be a bonus in the heat.

Already looking more fluid. Anyone notice how many changes NZ made?

Genuinely curious to see Toney as I haven’t seen him kick a football for so long.

The temperature is def playing a part. The press has been off and on.

Lovely goal all round tbh. Also encouraging that Watkins was coming in behind him if he missed it. I would say it, but Spence has been very good in general, given that his main role will be defending the really good players.

Wanrs to get everyone moving, which makes sense to me.

I thought you were joking. They said he’ll play an entirely different XI second half.

Feel like this pitch would look terrifying in 4k.

Brilliant play by Rashford.

Our positioning when they have the ball is slightly shonky, feel like that’s partly because it’s such a weird team but also Rashford’s defensive awareness and discipline is…not great.

Delap. Lined him up when the ball was in the air then broke his jaw with an elbow.

Not that fussed today tbh - just want them to acclimatize.
