England

[Yorkie]

Henderson, Gallagher and TAA midfield trio. Christ on a trike.

[leffe186]

Fucking lol

[leffe186]

Malta have looked pretty good so far too.

[Ronaldo]

‘Keeper makes a good save, actually.’

 

The ball went it.

[leffe186]

Malta look very well-organized and competent tbh. Should be a decent test of our ability to break this down. Not a convincing start but last couple of mins have been encouraging.

[Shearergol]

Maguire is so shit at easy distribution. 

[leffe186]

I paid little or no attention to the build-up to this. Is there any particular reason why Maguire and Henderson are playing? I sort of see some logic in playing Henderson with TAA but what other CBs are available? And don’t say Lascelles.

They always play don’t they?

They're proper lads who have never, ever let Southgate down.

 

Lascelles.

Kane booked for diving

 

EDIT : Yea that's a pen, ref is shite.

Joke of a decision that from the ref. Completely wrong call. 

[Shearergol]

Clear pen after a shite touch from Kane 

[Mattoon]

100% pen?

[Mattoon]

I take it there's no VAR tonight then?

[Pixelphish]

I got excited that someone finally booked Kane for diving, but its actually a pen.

I thought he was going to dive tbh and clearly so did the ref…but it was a penalty

[54]

That's one of them, that should be given by the letter of the law, but I'm glad Kane was booked as he has left his foot in trying to get contact from the keeper.

 

That said, if Newcastle hadn't been given that, I'd have been livid

[RodneyCisse]

I mean I only care for a bet I’ve got on.

[The Butcher]

Good decision. Left his foot hanging. Cheating against Malta

[54]

Wait VAR didn't overturn that? That's mental really

[Mattoon]

How has VAR looked at that and not overruled?

It’s one of those quintessential European ref decisions where they make a very predictable guess and it’s just completely wrong.

[Lordshola]

The dirty bastard did it again. I knew he was going to leave a foot and go down like a sack of spuds. Glad the ref saw through it.

[leffe186]

Think the ref’s done well in general.
