Big Geordie Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Excellent win and performance. Really enjoyed Wilson's wee cameo at the end. Makes all the difference watching England, when you have a couple of our lads involved. Mind, bet the gammon will be hating 4 black lads scoring today.

I find it weird this is what you were thinking about while watching the game tbh. Very very strange and suspicious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 That was brilliant and I'm really looking forward to the next one now. In all seriousness, you can't really knock folks for losing a bit of patience with Southgate given the form this year but those Nations League/friendly matches really do mean bugger all, and were frankly gratuitous in terms of their scheduling. Early days in this one but in the tournaments the manager's choices have been vindicated time and time again and this afternoon's events only suggests a continuation of that. Of course Iran are no world-beaters but they're lightyears ahead of Panama and barely conceded a goal in qualifying. You can only play what's in front of you and that is an opponent that, pre-Southgate, we struggle against. Hugely impressive start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than some defensive lapses/carelessness, that was very very good. Iran weren't up to much but England looked a lot more fluent and inventive than I expected, Southgate got this right, actually looking forward to watching the next one.

Interpolic Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 It's not that strange a thought from BG given that in the aftermath of the last England tournament game several of our players were racially abused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Even putting to one side the disgraceful abuse they suffered, it was absolutely mint to see them get on the scoresheet after what happened in the last really meaningful England game, in a purely footballing sense. Having not really thought about England that much since last July you're reminded today of just how likeable and easy to root for they are. Especial with a few Newcastle lads in there.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) My fellow Americans, I don't mean to discredit the boy, but are we seriously meant to believe that from the pool of anyone born from roughly 1984 to 2007 in all 50 states + various territories and expatriates abroad, the best striker available for the World Cup is Josh Sargeant? I cannot believe this to be the case. The US is very strong in midfield and wide positions at the moment, but the strikers, keeper, and defenders are below their usual standard, imo. There is enough in this team to beat Wales and make the knockout stage if we play well, though. Edited November 21, 2022 by Segun Oluwaniyi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Would it be worth putting Rice at center back instead of Maguire and bring Phiilips into midfield, I know it will never happen but I think just now we are a great defender away from winning this thing.

As a black African man, reading the comment made me cringe tbh. I found it embarrassing. It's just the internet though so whatever. In real life, I would have stood up and gone elsewhere. Find it incredibly uncomfortable how much you lot go on about race. We just watched a great game and nothing racial happened whatsoever, and there's always someone aching to go on about how '4 black lads scored' and how the racists must be so mad. It's really weird man. But you lot really seem to gain something from this sort of chat so carry on I guess. But I want you all to know it's really weird.
