Has the penny finally dropped after this and Czech game how hard our group was and how well we’ve done to top it and not concede? :lol: Brilliant.

I’m sure the ‘we’ve not played anyone good’ narrative of the World Cup will still run when the short memories happen!

Who you talking to sheebo? Don’t tar everyone with the same brush [emoji6] I said at the time that beating Croatia was a very good result. I agree not conceding a goal is encouraging.

I can’t stand the whole “you ain’t played anyone good” argument. It negates that we (England) have lost to the likes of Iceland before.

I rest my case! ;-)

I'm sorry you weren't able to rest it for longer. Your arms must be really aching now :wink:

Shame this match wasn't second tonight, France and Switzerland is going to be dour. What a game!!!

I am sure Switzerland will try and neutralise the game

I've unblocked you again but, crikey, you don't half get the wrong end of the stick :mad: What gives? ???

My case was that Spain's defence isn't very good, not that they can't score, which the obviously can.

Excellent recovery work. Apologies. :thumbsup:

Not you :facepalm: I remember reading a few times we’ve not played anyone good etc - like we did the WC - teams are there on merit. Not a scooby what posters said it

What happened to Pique? He was class. Injured?

Your curiosity is clearly, ahem, piqued.

He retired from international football in August 2018.

It's not often you see two teams looking so knackered at the end of a match. They gave everything. Croatia gave every drop of energy they had in bringing it back to 3-3.

I just don't see much quality this year.
You gotta fancy our chances. And I say that as a miserable sod.
