I watched the highlights of the game against Switzerland. England hit the post, hit the bar three times, had a goal ruled out and missed about 3 sitters.

we can't have that in football


Should be factual line decisions - goal yes/no, penalty or free kick, offside goalscorer yes/no - only for me.
Plus, if TV cannot overturn original referee call in 30 seconds then it stays 'on field.'
Sports broadcasting media nut miscast as a hard-working family man. Or should that be the other way around?

Sterling scored a penalty to give England a 1-0 win over Iceland in an otherwise boring game.

I have no idea why the Kane goal was ruled out for offside, because he wasn't. Might have been a much more entertaining game if that had been allowed to stand. Iceland seemed quite content to park the bus and hope to nick one. Nearly worked too. Newcastle Utd tactics.... concede 82% possession and defend deep

VAR would have allowed it but I still prefer it not to be a goal and have no VAR!

Its going to be depressing to watch Englands worst ever tactical manager wreck what looks to be a noticeably great era of talented players coming through. England had 82 percent of possession up to the point he decided in his infinite wisdom to remove his only creative outlet in central midfield, and replace him with a centre half. So you are facing a team who have hardly had the ball, sat with literally 10 men behind the ball, and you decide the best way to break them down is having three defensive midfielders, two of which regularly play as defenders, and just have them pass it sideways to each other before Dier eventually lost patience and fired a long ball in the direction of the smallest man on the pitch being marked by two people who were at least a foot taller than him.

I make no exaggeration in saying I would have fired him at the 70th minute mark if I was in charge of the FA. Moronic. Even a merely bad tactical coach would not even consider this.

I guess we can take comfort in the fact he has proved time and time again hes a brilliant pedigree of manager. I mean, signing a 35 million pound forward when that was near the British transfer record, then relegating a team that had played in the Premier League for an age and had done well, before being sacked after being outclassed in the Championship despite having the most expensive team ever assembled in the league.

Must be a once in a generation genius.

Its been refreshing to see no VAR in these games. No ball hitting the back of the net and not being able to celebrate because the hair on someones toe might be 0.0003 mm offside.

Southgate decided yesterday that he woulld even out do his own braindead benchmark, and played a midfield of essentially 3 centre backs. I can see now Phil McNulty at the BBC is even laying the boot in lightly, which takes something dramatic.

The guy is a total plank.
