Andy if Eriksen wasn't stable, then, no, game should be postponed. Apparently players spoke to him and it was agreed on to play the match. But Denmark lost anyway.

Red and brown actually.
Who says they are not good enough?
Maybe if he gave them a proper go we may find out. I'm sure the majority of our fanbase would have preferred to see Nelson have some faith put in him rather than those minutes going to the has been that is Willian.

Embolo looked very impressive.

Echo all of that. Also credit to Anthony Taylor the ref who immediately saw what had happened and apparently had the game stopped and waving medics on within 3 seconds of Eriksen falling. Could have easily had a delayed or different reaction. Plenty of people played a big or small part in saving Eriksen’s life yesterday and it would have been incredibly distressing for Taylor as well.
How nice would it be if Anthony Taylor was applauded on to pitches in the league next year for his actions in helping Eriksen.

You forgot to add 'nah nah ne nah nah' and a threat to hold your breath until Bernard agrees with all your points, and to attach a photo of you with your tongue out and fingers in your ears.

Hey I’m not asking him to agree to my point, he was the one disagreeing to my posts and harping on about it.

Not sure how you can not find a place in the 11 for Jack Grealish personally but there you go.

I have no interest in international football and rarely watch it. Hate to be a Jonah but I’d probably go for Croatia today. Last time I saw them was in a World Cup final. Last time I saw Ingerlund was v Iceland.

England nearly a goal up. Unlucky to hit the post.

High intensity game from England. Always looking to move the ball forward.

Well worked goal scored by Sterling

Phillips has been everywhere

Rashford instead of Sancho ? Not for me.

That intensity in midfield from Phillips and mount and co. Chasing everything. High tempo

Feels like Arsenal have missed that type of intensity in the middle of the pitch for so long,

Yes, we miss that type of intensity for much too long.

A fine performance by England who look to be strong contenders as possible eventual winners of the tournament

As long as Saka isn't knackered, I'm not too fussed about England at Euro 2020. Congrats on beating Croatia's geriatricos 1-0, though. If it'll take your mind off Xhaka, it's probably good for your health.

It did occur to me the performance of Kalvin Phillips was the type of display our Swiss friend was incapable of. Competing for every ball across the middle at lightening pace allowing Modric very little time in possession.

Basically offer Leeds every midfielder we have bar Partey in exchange for him!

A change in the structure of our midfield could change our fortunes but England looked good for once I have to say.

I was responding to your posts. You brought Jorginho into the debate when I asked you who these players were who you thought would move for money than Xhaka. First, your that contradicts your apparent point that transfer fee size is the measure of player quality if you seriously think Xhaka is so bad (the worst you’ve seen play for Arsenal). Player quality is an influence on transfer fee size, I’ve said that all along. But it’s not the only one as I’ve explained at length to you because other things affect transfer fee size.

You’ve also made the point that none of our midfielders would get into the midfields of those above us. That’s what puzzled me when you mentioned Jorghino after I asked you to name the worse players than Xhaka who would move for more money than Xhaka. Jorghino regularly gets into Chelsea’s side.

I know you will respond again as you have to have the last word. That’s another reason I suspect you’re a sad obsessive.

.. and still your harping on. Mate you have obsessive compulsive disorder where you have recurring thoughts and repetitive behaviours that you simply cannot control. Seek help

The sad thing is I actually suspect you believe that, rather than you taking the Mickey out of you own obsessive behaviour. Here’s a chance to prove me wrong. I don’t think you’ll be able to not reply to this because of you being a sad obsessive. Let’s see if you can prove me wrong by not responding. I bet you can’t.

Here you go..

Thanks, Mr 50-posts-a-day.

Hardly ..

Are you any surer now? The right men for the job on the day, so well done Southgate. Only downside was Kane's relatively ineffectual showing. He looked slower than Xhaka, but hopefully will come good.

Phillips looks a very very good player. Great energy and looks to be able to spot a pass.

For me he’s in the 11, when he plays he always looks the player most likely to connect the dots in the final third. The fact we won doesn’t change for me he should have been involved. Also don’t get the trippier at left back thing or the fact Sancho didn’t make the bench.

Yes your right though a good performance and your also right on Kane who really didn’t do well at all.

I hope Neil Lennon is wrong.

Excellent entertainment, thrilling game as the Dutch edge Ukraine.

If it wasn’t so sad your hypocritical obsessiveness would almost be amusing. Let’s see how long it’ll take Mr ‘I have to have the last word’ Top Gun to reply?

I didn’t watch the first half but saw much of the second. It was really exciting.

From a movie we all know and love.....

I'm joking, but Bernard and TG....please, please...etc.

Only in England could you see a comment like this.

It's called schoolyard politics. What you'd expect from a 9 year old. Imo he's regressing and going back to his favourite I am 6.

Still think covid is a hoax and over reaction mr “get off my island” ?

Had your jab yet? Did you feel the irony as you were getting it?

It was an entertaining 2nd half, I agree with sourpuss Roy Keane that the Dutch won't be going far in the tournament with that defence though.
With England I was most happy with the clean sheet and lack of any clear cut chances or proper saves for Pickford. If England have ambitions on winning the Euro's is has to be based on defence. People talk about all the attacking talent we have (and that is true) but this is pretty much 7 games of knock out football. When Spain won the Euros or World Cup I think they won every knock out game 1-0. Even when teams are coming down the stretch in a tight title race the results turn in to 1-0 wins rather than anything too expansive.
Without getting too far ahead of ourselves England's route if they win the group looks to be
R2 Portugal/Germany
QF Spain
SF Netherlands/Turkey
F Italy/France

I don't think the dutch team will win it all - they lack firepower up front and without Van Dijk they'll get exposed defensively. But I have to give them credit; even now when they've had a downward trajectory for a number of years, they're still entertaining to watch. I've been following football since the early 90s and there have been very few international tournaments where the Netherlands haven't been one of the bright spots.

Who knocks Belgium out? You didn’t even mention them as possible opponents in any round?
