    Turns out not tracking the player making a run into the back post isn't a good defensive game plan

    1. EmreCan Hustle

      Who knew.

    2. Utopsis

      Wingers / inside forwards don't like tracking wing backs

      Could have told you that as a QPR fan. We perfected that move the season we went down in 2013.

      Jose Bosingwa was the master of that particular defensive play.

        For me that season will be most memorable thanks to watching Adel Taraabt, what a shame.

          Most memorable in terms of what I remember from seeing QPR games*

    Get Grealish on!

    1. Deulofail

      Here we go again!

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Guess who’s going to be my 2nd most integral player this season!

      Imagine doubting Sir Gareth Southgate.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Would be 3-0 and game over if he started

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          To Italy!

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            3 Grealish ogs?

  3. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Italy have more possession and more shots.

    Do they now deserve a penalty?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Only when their xG reaches 0.8

      1. Rainer
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Fair 😉

    2. Louis_Sans_Balls
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      only if they're diving game is on point

    3. Grounderz
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes but I feel those shots were squeezed out of desperation trying to salvage at least something out from the first half. I don’t think they’ve looked particularly convincing in creating good chances. England’s not done anything aggressive at opponent’s area either. Their early chances were to see some randomness and chaos and England got what they wanted.

      1. Rainer
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I know, I know.

        Despite not having the ball or more shots Englard are in complete control here.

        1. Grounderz
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          They seem happy with that. Would be interesting to see how Italy change their game plan.

          1. Rainer
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yep, balls in Italys court now they need to make things happen.

            Kane to Sterling only need to catch them once going the other way.

  4. RogDog_jimmy

    Rice has made more attacking runs today than the rest of the tournament combined (2, plus 1 out of bounds)

    Total English dominance so far.

  5. OverTinker
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Southgate for the Prime Minister if England wins this right?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Don't punish the man for such a great achievement.

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years

      I just wanna know if we're actually getting an extra bank holiday

        No way Boris will give this

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      I think we should abolish the royal family or otherwise instate Gareth as Queen.

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I'm with you there, the royal family should have been abolished long ago.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Will you join the coop d'état, duck?

          1. Marvin.
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Why not. Sounds like a laugh.

    4. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Arise Sir Southgate, Lord of Crawley, future PM

    5. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years

      If he wins the WC next year absolutely

      1. OverTinker
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes no question if wins the WC

    6. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years

      Job swap with Boris?

      1. OverTinker
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        hahaha

    Win or lose Shaw is the best left back in the world by a country mile

    Absolutely outstanding

      Yep, now that Leighton Baines has hung up his boots.

      Didn't take a while to forget about Robertson.

    England need to bring on Coady & White to give them experience in preparation to WC 2022.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What year will that be in?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        2023

    VIP boxes still empty at 2nd half KO. Always shocking

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Good sign. Nobody is very important. Down with that sort of thing!

    Sterlings diving reputation catching up with him

  11. Louis_Sans_Balls
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling always thinking dive first

  12. el polako
    • 9 Years

    Tom Daley at it again...

  13. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling. Getting punished as the boy who cried wolf?

  14. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    More of a pen than the Danish one...

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      10 times as more of a pen and would also have been extremely generous.

  15. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Simulation, yellow card please

  16. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Dangerous FK

  17. RogDog_jimmy
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling was trying to do a diving header off the turf.

  18. Louis_Sans_Balls
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Doesn't get the pen and then commits stupid foul

  19. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Everything seems so casual with the Italians tonight.

  20. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pickford time. Not looking forward to this

  21. Louis_Sans_Balls
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Chiesa all by himself once again

  22. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kane trying to keep up with Chiesa 🙂

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fair play for tracking, Shaw stopped!

  23. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling knees have been on the turf more than his feet

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He's wearing boots tbf

  24. Louis_Sans_Balls
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Shaw and Chiesa the two men of the match for me thus far

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Rice & Philips too!

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Rice in there for me too.

      Been driving forward as well as locking down the midfield.

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years

      Young Declan’s been great

  25. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Immobile fail

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bonnuci YC

  26. Louis_Sans_Balls
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Barella and Ciro off, about time

  27. el polako
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Immobile off - bad news for England.

  28. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Finally Immobile off. Italy have a chance now.

  29. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Smart move taking off Barella and protecting his YC for the next match

  30. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Another blatant foul on sterling finally punished

    1. Louis_Sans_Balls
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Tough job for the ref to tell which ones are real or manufactured
