This is nuts. Dreadful for 85 mins and then three lovely bits of football.

Credit where it's due. Two excellent free kicks from Celtic's boy. Comical defending of a hopeful punt that lead to Kane's goal though.

I was thinking Joe Hart was not exactly resembling Max Whitlock in his vitality awaiting the kicks. Great free kicks granted, but I thought he might have got at least near them. Game was reminiscent in atmosphere of the old Home Internationals; the Scots get really fired up when Hadrian steps over the wall. :wink:

I blame the walls more than I do Hart, Tango. Not a one of them even bothered jumping.

Was weird. That none of them jumped seemed to suggest out was planned, possibly on the keeper? On the second one Smalling would've stopped it if he hadn't closed his eyes. Cracking free kicks to be fair though.

Thought it was a cracking ball in from Sterling for the equaliser.

Good on them and I hope they enjoy it but we looked like the U12s team who win the league by having their 6ft lightening quick lad up top, and the one who can nice person it furthest at CB.

Venezuela much better with the round white thing.

Not sure how many of them will make it.

We're doing well for young keepers though!

Quite an entertaining outing at the moment even though we're coming second. France look pretty good going forwards, England a little less so...

:oyea: :oyea: What we need this, a lesson in the offing here. . We're not the top echelon stuff any more and right now we're second best to the ball, sloppy on passing and taking too much time breaking forward, pedestrian in fact at times. We have some good players, but so have they and they've had a bit of luck on the rebounds. Good time to put in a bit more effort and speed it all up some. It's still winnable, but only if we play better. Better reactions and passing needed.. Come on... :oyea: :oyea:

Embarrassing defending on both goals. Really shit stuff.

Third best tonight. Lost to ten men. Still doing our "too cool for school" ( too slow by a mile) routine. I'd sooner see Rose at left back and Walker at right. One or two I'll confess I've never heard of. Still a fair way off this level of football. As soon as we resort to wallop ball (which France never once did) we were on the slide. Big improvement needed somewhere.

Edit: What's the score with Wellbeck, Barclay, Vardy and Sturridge right now?
