Nah, the US were fucking dross. England were fucking dross too. There was nothing good about anything I just witnessed.

Happily, I live in the technological third world (Australia) and the feed cut out in the 89th min. This also happened frequently in the last WC. That was embarrassingly shite from Southgate - and wilfully deliberate, too. Shaw taking a full minute to amble up to the ball for an 85th FK told its own story. I hope the Southgate defenders enjoyed that.

It’s important to have one in the side. We haven’t had an open racist playing for England since Terry and I think it has been a noticeable weakness in the team.

Bellingham has been utterly anonymous mind - but to not bring on Foden is fucking lunacy

Something along the lines of when the defender forces the attacker to lose possession. NFL term I think - a stat popped up on the screen before. Makes me really want to win now

I for one admire a man who waits to concede before acting

Had to look up ‘forced turnover’ there. I hate modern football

Tyler Adams’ name includes the names of three US Presidents. Can anyone beat that?

But at least the poster knows HOW TO WRITE DATES PROPERLY. 4th of July not July 4th

You should try SBS in Australia. Martin Tyler on his own, sounding like he’s on sedatives in a panic room, before the gripping insights of Portsmouth and Palace ‘legend’ Craig Foster

Wot no quarter of an hour of injury time?

Yep. Long tournament, don’t burn out etc. But if that’s the worry then play the second string - there should be enough in reserve to beat these

Love to know what that MOR tosspot Southgate said before this. It’s energy sapping watching it

Haha tbf ‘YOO ESS EH’ is still less irritating than cockneys chanting ‘cahm on Inglund’, in a tone which sounds like they’re sighing And that England band - the Sheff We’d orchestra - can get to fuck. Quarter of a century of their organised fun shite. I understand the Qataris paid them to go out. I hope they kept the receipt. In fact, I hope they keep them full fucking stop

That fucking ‘YOO ESS EH’ chant is the pits, mind. Every sport, too. Utter shite

Trippier seems to be a much better player in a B&W shirt. I’m not complaining mind

International football is pretty dull, it has to be said

*splutters like a Geordie Victor Meldrew*

When did bicycle kick become overhead kick? I wasn’t invited to that meeting. Bicycle kick is more apt

I’m just grateful that his PhD was in Arabic, otherwise we’d never have known what was said

Maguire dribbles like I used to playing on a five-a-side court in Newburn. And trust me, that’s not a good thing

Absolutely. And watching Botman and Schar for three months then watching Maguire and Stones feels like stepping down a division

Maguire is utterly fucking shite mind. I do wonder how far into this we can get before he inevitably costs us. Southgate is fucking crackers selecting the lunk-heeded knacker
