Spain v England

[davew]

Rarely watch these sort of matches, but England on fire 2-0 up!!

[One James stannard]

Incredible first half performance so far, boys are on fire 3-0

[davew]

They look more vulnerable at the back than we do! England were 9/2 to win tonight and I stopped betting 2 weeks ago, oh well I could have afforded to retire but there again I did 6 years ago, so not all bad!

Most enjoyable half of football I've watched England play in a very very long time

Get well soon, Spain will probably score 4 in the 2nd half and things will get back to normal!

[davew]

Proper football from England, I might start watching them again!!

[davew]

Game on now!!!!

[Dodgin]

Betts ?

[davew]

Betts ?

Doing a Rui Fonte, sitting on the bench!

[Dodgin]

Not Pickfords best game

[KJS]

Not Pickfords best game

He is still better than Betts

[filham]

Sounds good, guess you are all watching on Sky or BT. Never mind it should make a good read in the paper tomorrow.

What a fantastic game of football that was, throughly enjoyable. 15 years unbeaten at home!

Well done young lions  :54:

[nose returns]

secoond half was a concern even though we were 3 up. couldn't keep possesion, the goalkeeper is making fabri look like a player, winks gave the ball away at every conceivable opportunity, rashford and sterling second half reverted to losing possesion needlessly..... i would say let's not get over excited but wow what a game and what a win.

Great victory, well done England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

Well done England and goals for Sterling, that is good news.

Our resilience was tested in the second half, and we came out of it with flying colours in the shape of a Red Cross on a White background 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. But let us not dwell on negativity surrounding the second half. We won the game in the first half, and saved the game in the second half.
Pickford would be wise not to try that move again though.
A lesson learned.
Our goals were sublime, and we defeated a top draw team in their own back yard, and we did it with
our youngest team in 59 years. Their average age was 27, ours was 23.
The best is yet to come, if you have been watching the various age groups from the England team, you will understand what I mean. Lots of genuine quality emerging with blistering pace.

...and today: Just a thought.

When I first started to develop an interest in this game black and white images from the Cup Final seemed incredibly exotic. I never thought that one day, if I felt so inclined, I might sit in front of my telly and watch in full living colour an International match between Khazakhstan and Andorra played on a plastic pitch.
(Crap match, though!)
