So it appears that the euro 28 is coming to the uk and Ireland. Major news is no venue at Anfield, old Trafford or the emirates! Two old fashioned stadia for sure and of course Liverpool supporters anti monarchist and anti uk stance will have made them a no go but I'm rather surprised the emirates aren't included.

Why Liverpool won't host any Euro 2028 games at Anfield as UEFA rule explained

Liverpool has been chosen as a host city after the UK and Ireland were selected for Euro 2028, but Anfield won't be hosting any games during the tournament.

And choosing the Everton stadium over them which hasn’t been built yet will wind them up a bit more, brilliant!

England v Italy HT 1-1. Decent team out on paper but somehow England appear to be a little off the pace somehow. Italy looking more like favourites to me and appear to be better off the ball than us. Bellingham again showing the he is a class above. England are missing the injured Saka imo and maybe they'll find some inspiration from bringing grealish on in the second half in place of rashford. No matter what he does in play he does occupy two opposing players. Also I'd replace the booked Phillips with Henderson.

57. 2-1 Rashford (assist Bellingham), excellent goal on the break finished with a great strike.

Calvin Phillips on a knife edge now after another dodgy tackle. Why doesn't Southgate replace him ffs???

He must have been flicking through this forum on his mobile!

Very good win. Credit to Southgate who, while isn't perfect, takes too much criticism. He has been just the right man for England over the last seven years or so.

FT 3-1 Kane 2, Rashford
A much better second half by England.
Bellingham my MoM.

Nearly. Screwed up his tactics v Croatia by not stopping their attacks down their right wing and not feeding Vardy when the Croatian defenders were pushing up to the half way line.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Bellingham is some player. Hope he doesn’t get injured before Germany.

England 0- Brazil 1
Well it's clear that I don't understand the offside law these days.
One good thing is that psychologically by getting beaten it will hopefully keep their feet on the ground for the euros.

I think you were confused by there being two Brazilian attackers. I was puzzled at first but on the first call one player wasn't interfering with play and when the goal was scored the other wasn't offside. Anyway VAR checked it so it must be right.
PS Ben Chillwell is awful.

The scorer of the goal was offside when the break started. Does that not provide an unfair advantage? It's just a tart liners charter.

How do you think Kane gets a lot of goals, he’s one of the biggest tit liners out there. Not that I’m complaining of course.

 

[Drog]

Kane is much much more than a tart liner. He contributes massively in defence and also plays creatively 'in the hole'. Doing that and then getting into scoring positions up top is to be admired.

No disputing that. It’s going to be strange to see him win nothing again this season despite being at Bayern.

 

[Husky]

Going nowhere under Southgate who I will continue to maintain should have been sacked after the World Cup semi-final defeat to Croatia.

But the English losers chose 6 more years of failure . . .

England would be better with JDT as manager . . . .

 

[Husky]

Unwoke Matty knows the score . . . .

 

[Drog]

Sebastian Gishamer Would be ok in the championship... or park football. Cant spot a dive to save his life. As for the game these must be the two worst strips in living memory!

Bellingham with a last gasp equaliser to end the game 2-2. A fair result.
