As ever, one of Fox’s calls is bad for the US …

The bottom photo is deceptive. He looks like he could be off in video - very marginal though

Whenever England win the ball in midfield, Kane checks his run and drops deeper … any chance he could try being a centre forward?

I thought Trippier was as poor as any of them last match like

Rashford is laughably bad mind. You know as soon as he’s involved it stops dead

I miss the days when football games had name editors

‘Hendo’ ?

Booze-free WC. It’s almost as if half the crowd being pissed adds to the atmosphere. The Qataris bought football without understanding what makes it a spectacle

Christ I miss Eddie’s NUFC dead ball routines. This watered down wank is shite

If Rashford was at Southampton, would Man United buy him? Southgate wouldn’t fucking pick him

Hands up who thought Rashford would score that? Thought so

He’s sat outside Graham Kelly’s house right now with his camera rolling

It’s like watching me playing ‘fog man back’

The rest of Britain is - at best - non-plussed the soppy twats

Tifo on YouTube nailed it re Foden. He’d start for Spain, but because he tries to make thing happen, this as a necessity means that he will occasionally lose possession. This isn’t how Southgate wants to play, so he doesn’t start. It is risk-averse football. Yawn.

*Ashington joke* ’I didn’t know Mitrovic was a Serb’ ’He’s not a serb - he’s starting’ *end of Ashington joke*

That’s the magedia for you And we’re all in on it - you don’t need to pretend here

Love owt like this. Not sure if it is deliberate or not, but it’s funny either way. Nowt makes them FEWM like being mixed up with Geordies. Except on holidays in the Med when they can’t be arsed to explain the difference.

We’ll have to sit it out with the unpopular kids - I’m with you on this one. I like old-fashioned higgeldy-piggeldy grounds, ones with four unique stands which have clearly not been built at the same time. Don’t like the clinical nature of the American-style stadiums. New Wembley is shite too.

The Japanese keeper is was channeling prime Mike Hooper there

That’s a fantastically shite goal - utterly laughable by Japan

What needs to be remembered is that we don’t like a great many of these players and it doesn’t change when they happen to pull on an England shirt. Dennis Wise wasn’t suddenly less loathsome when playing for England. Jordan Pickford is, and will always be, a short-armed Mackem wanker. I don’t give a shite if suddenly starts playing like Gordon Banks.

No-one is going to build a temporary 50k stadium in the UK, let alone one which may have a lifespan of less than two years It is either move from SJP or accept the site’s limitations with a more modest rebuild. I don’t mind either way, assuming that any new ground is close enough to the city centre; I still think that moving to the site of the current arena would be a decent option, given proximity to Central Station and the fact it’s actually closer to most of the city’s pubs than SJP

Yeah, likewise for me. I was in my late teens before I was able to go to Boro away, due to the reputation

I knew Bassedas would come good eventually
