England - Lee Carsley Takes The Reins

[riverholmes]

The quality is evident with England but the cautious walking football and back passing is really hard to watch. I suppose the players are inevitably going to play within themselves to some extent to avoid injury, but this team could be so exciting to watch.

Has SS touched the ball?

Yes when he had a shot at goal which Pickford saves. 

[chaddyrovers]

Good to see Rice getting forward so much

[Norbert Rassragr]

In a pub that doesn't have the football. Saw who has scored for us. Awkward.

 

[Blow-in]

This Irish team is dire, and still underperforming.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Better from England. They’re mixing up the short balls with the long ball.

Trent playing in his proper position and actually influencing a game

It absolutely is his choice whether or not he sings a song. I'll not be making a judgement on his suitability to manage a football team either way. 

Edit: "Irish granny", so he's part Irish. Have you any idea of the ill will (justifiably, many would say) that the Irish have towards our monarchy?

Far more than you will ever know

I chose my Father's side.

Ill will ..  Apparently not in the case of Carsley

I'm a republican and an atheist.  Singing God Save the King would also make me a hypocrite.  Maybe Carsely feels the same way.

I'm a Royalist and a Christian.

We choose our sides.

Not singing the National Anthem is unpatriotic.

Anyway, the match. RoI are useless. England in 1st gear.

Mainoo got lucky with that tackle. A badun.

Faroe Islands v North Macedonia was more interesting.

Nobody should sing it, appalling dirge, replace it with an actual English anthem.

I do agree with this.

It's awful but fortunately kept short.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Gone back to walking football again.

Obviously. At least we know not to rely on you  in a war then. 

[roverandout]

Piss poor second half 

[Ianrally]

How can Carsley not realise that Wharton would be far more effective than Mainoo?

That's a rather different matter altogether.  

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

This is dire. Subs should have been on 20 mins ago.

Carsgate

[K-Hod]

Not been watching, but did crack a wry smile at the identity of our goalscorers. I’ll bet they were well received….

[Paul Mellelieu]

Not sure why AW can't make this team.

[roverandout]

Harry kane has been honking again 

[roverandout]

Should have known not to expect anything other than more shit from England 

[Ossydave]

Can't be many people who enjoy these international breaks 😮‍💨

Bit depressing it's only a month till the next one, then there's one the month after too.

Pointless shite.

[roverandout]

Trent is shocking
