Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

    Southgate watching this second half disaster and doing nothing. Revering to type in the final.

    Southgate needs to do something NOW!
    Palmer and Trent on and more physicality in the centre.

      I've never heard the words bold and Southgate in the same sentence before

    Williams has a whipping shot on him

    Southgate's excuse after match:
    A)long season
    B)no Kalvin Phillips
    C)no fish and chips in Berlin
    D)too much fish and chips in Berlin

      They got here on a 95th minute equaliser vs slovakia, a good strike by saka vs swiss and penalties and ref and var gifting them a goal vs Dutch

    Well well england tactics only to play football once they trail continues. Problem is they now face a strong opponent.

    1. JBG

      Really weird how they are struggling when they are matched up against one of the better teams... it's almost like most people who have watched England under Southgate predicted.

      1. jacob1989

        They have had a very kind draw.

        1. Thanos
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          And been super lucky

        2. JBG

          As many have pointed out during Southgates tenure.. but oh well. As long as he never comes to MU

    2. Revival

      are playing possibly the best team in world football right now

    1. Thanos

    Time for Kane to call it a day. Bayern Munich can't win a trophy with him in the team so what chance have England got !

  11. Thanos

    Not interested in Euros. English players know FPL prices have been revealed.

  12. Thanos

    Palmer!!!! How he doesn’t start is beyond me

    Wow palmer! Why not start him?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee

      Southgate wants to keep it exciting

    Ice Cold Palmer...

    Southgate keep on rising from the grave. Jesus would be jealous

      zombie manager

  21. Revival

    England actually have a semi attacking team out now

  22. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Watkins winner coming.

  23. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Palmer surely in my FPL team

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I might skip him for GW1, might get Bruno instead for the first 2/3 weeks.

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Salah GW1 for the captaincy. Then switch to Palmer if Salah fails.

      1. FPL Sanky
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        I think Palmer is a better option than Salah. He is locked in my team till the end unless he gets injured

    This is looking like a stalemate, similar to that Anglo-Spanish war between Queen Elizabeth I and King Philip II. But a winner must emerge today…

    1. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      LOL

  25. jacob1989

    What i dont get is why england wait to concede to play football? Again now that they scored they are getting defensive

  26. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    How is this game level... Spanish players really poor finishing. Need them to score the winner soon

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Pickford made a couple of massive saves, last one was quality, got it away from danger as well

  27. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    if england keep defending like this it will be 2 for spain very soon.

    1. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      You said it man

    2. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Correct.

    3. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Spot on!

  28. Flekken' Hell

    England had a brief spell of attack and Spain was uncomfortable. England should attack. Sitting and going back to defense didn't do them any favor thru out the match.

  29. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Tears coming home now..

  30. Flekken' Hell

    There you go, second goal.

    When will Southgate learn?!
