For me the most depressing thing about this game is that I get the impression I am going to have to watch Kane playing for England for many more years

Cannot tell you how much I dislike him

Edit, and there you have it, quality goal.

I know my dislike is irrational

He is an "all time great" apparently, though the commentator did not state what word is to follow the word great.

Lee Dixon may be a dull Arsenal prick, but he’s nailed the big change.

Under Southgate, Kane dropping deep dropped the whole team deep. Tonight we’ve had players run beyond Kane when he’s dropped.

Refreshing.

Or, to put it succinctly
Southgate is shit

And further to that, Kane’s comments about Tom Brady are inane.

Rice or Stones are the Quarterback. Kane should be, at least, a touchdown scoring tight end.

Google “Gronk” Hazza.

Kane is one of the best passers in the team and needs pace around and beyond, like with Bayern. Apparently Southgate wouldn’t play Gordon at the Euros because he said some hurty words. Shameful decision.

Rose tinted glasses aside does anyone think Dunk will ever get another chance? I see Colwill came off the bench as sub and is clearly the younger generation.

No, he's not good enough anymore.

It still blows my mind that he couldn’t see the problem…

What most people were asking for in the summer and previously.

Saw it briefly with Saka at times, but the lopsided left hand side meant it hardly happened.

Bellingham was doing it for fun for Real last season , after the first game it stopped for England.

We also must have put more crosses in the box tonight than the whole of the euros

Hopefully the damage isn't going to be as bad as Martinez ruining the Belgium squad, we seem to have players coming through

Colwill is class. such great positioning and decision making for one so young.
i'd take him in a heartbeat.

Eze is shite

Weststander · Sep 10, 2024

Pleased/relieved that Southgate went. Creatively, Carsley, what a change! Brilliant strikes from Kane.

But, at the end of a long season, it looked to me like Kane and Bellingham were completely spent at the Euros. Tonight and against Ireland imho we’re seeing fresh legs and no nagging injuries.

Could have kept Kane on - denied a chance to score a hat-trick on his 100th appearance. Meaningless game that was already won - why bother making the sub?

Hendrax · Sep 10, 2024

turned into a bit of a training game this.

Flounce · Sep 10, 2024

Not thrilling but a decent performance :shrug:

Rubbish opposition to be sure, but those are often the hardest to break down.

Certainly didn’t see anything Mr “Brighton 1 Palace 2, but we won on XG” could add.

Good job interview.

The damage is as bad, but at being a bigger footballing country we continue to have good players, whereas Belgiums golden generation may have been a one off.

Trent is so overrated, so many terrible passes he wouldn't get in the Albions team. Eze was poor but we know that anyway.
