England, pass pass pass, go backwards, opposition line push up, long baw in behind. Honestly, England could put an insomniac to sleep.

Sterling is not English by birth or blood. What bit of that don't you get? Your whatabouterry on the Scotland team failed. 

It doesn’t matter two hoots. Sterling has a British passport and chooses to play for a country he is a citizen of.

We'll need to be really careful that we withstand that 15 minute onslaught against them as well. Get through that and you've got a chance.

He's British by British Government rules. He's English by FIFA rules. What bit of that don't you get? You can tell his country is England by turning on your TV and seeing him play for England.

Commentators less assured. Fans less assured. Players less assured. Only 35 minutes into the tournament. 

 

Not sure why, thought they'd already won it?

Accidental though, never a yellow 

Aye, fair play, I thought you were referring to the foul

Sterling's got 3 EPL titles, 1 FA Cup title, 4 League Cup titles, 61 England caps and an MBE given to him by The Queen.

 

What have you got?

This is boring. 👎

 

The most exciting thing is guessing how Pickford is going poorly distribute the ball from the next passback.

There is a tolerance to the size of a pitch so it can differ by 50 yards in width and 30 yards in length (iirc)


105m x 68m is what UEFA want. 
 

Wembley’s pitch dimensions the same as every other host stadium. Lampard talking nonsense if he thinks it’s a bigger pitch!

Scottish parents make him a Scot. 

Mate, grow up! Do you believe that an ethnicity test should be needed to represent a country?

 

The rules:

 

If you are born abroad and hold UK nationality then you can play for any of the 4 home nations you please. Sterling has lived in England since 5yo so it's the obvious choice, though he could have just as easily picked one of the 3 others. Ethnicity is irrelevant.

 

Deal with it!

the commentators whipping themselves into a frenzy expecting trippier to score, then puts it into the wall

Then Jenas advises us that if it hadn't hit the wall then it would have gone in the top corner, despite the angle of the replay not giving him any ability to make that judgement.

Pickford would have been 3rd choice out of the three they have in the squad.

Henderson and Johnson are better keepers for me

Also the same size as nearly every EPL stadium so normal to the players.

I agree with your stance (I think) but Sir Alex Ferguson has been knighted by the Queen and probably won more than two dozen trophies but he’s still Scottish :lol:

I think Fergie's lack of England Caps is what means he may not be English.

I don't go with residency qualification alone myself (some blood or birth needed) but that's just me. Each to their own.

Shearer and Lamps must be watching a different game. England started well but they've been utter pony after the first 15 mins.

 

Croatia poor too.

 

Just a poor game, shite atmosphere.

Agreed. Pickford also comes across as a knob.

The atmosphere is so flat. Turning up expecting to see the best team in the world and being served up this will do that to the fans though.

 

False expectations.

What about her?

 

I never watch the pre game or half time chat - all a bit tedious and predictable.
