Rather than take over the PL topic..
We need to kill this game quickly others I see Italy getting a 2nd.

Thought it was a little soft, the yellow tbh. Ref is very card happy.

He seems a little reluctant to give us fouls at the moment

Surprised Kane got away without a booking. He absolutely screamed in the refs face there. Looked like he touched him as well? |

Most importantl, thoughts on this Adidas Italian top? Not good imo, is it the 3 stripes, also too baggy?

Made a right mess of that 2nd half. Lucky to start with a win.

Pretty shocking 2nd half but good that we somehow managed to hold on.
You do feel that this team could be a lot better without the likes of maguire and Phillips in the starting 11. Seems like there are better options in those positions but Southgate gonna Southgate.
That being said, good win in the toughest game in the group.

England were as bad in the second half as Italy were in the first, utterly dreadful.

Nice reminder that international football is not very good. We were bad. Italy were worse. Good result I guess. Would have been amazing in the 90s!
Further evidence that scoring from set pieces and keeping it tight is enough to make you a top 10 international team. Sure it would be nice to be a fluid attacking side but what Southgate does is dull but effective.

He was linked with Arsenal at the weekend and I have to admit I hadn't heard of him.
I'm now convinced that he's a Nick Bendtner regen.

I missed this! Was he fouled and was creeping back on the pitch for treatment to halt Italy?

He appeared genuinely winded rather than faking, but him slowly crawling on the field of play to prevent the resumption of the game was funny. How he escaped a booking for that and also the aggressive way he screamed in the ref's face forcing him to take a step back is baffling. I'll take it though, we need him not accumulating cards.

Scotland wearing their 150th anniversary top for this game today. Looks really smart. I balked at the £90 price, but it's definitely the nicest one I can recall in a long time.

Was sure Robertson was off, but actually the boy further down was clearly playing him on. McGinn's scoring record for Scotland is genuinely insane lol

Gerrard plays him in the wrong, position, he's shit. Super Unai plays him in his correct position and he's back to his best. Shock horror |
