On 37’ bloody awful defending. TAA was central marking two players their nos 9 and 19 (noticed by Dixon). Walker, Stones and Guehi all near the right touchline. From a nothing passage of play, nothing cute by Finland.

England did that many times during the Euros when Guehi played, but everyone sucked to the left.

Really? I must be watching a different game.
65% possession so far for England.

Admittedly a bit sloppy in the last 10-15 minutes, but England have shown they can open up the Finnish defence with a couple of passes.

Won the first 2 games by 2 clear goals. No reason why they can't do the same today.

So second half, England to sit back and look to see the game out 1-0, or to go for more goals
Really need at least one more goal.

Nothing cavalier, but the pressure that comes with dominating possession should bring the chance for at least one more.

Lovely to hear, the entire stadium singing “Joel Veltman”. Respect.

Nope, you're certainly watching the same one as me. What a borefest. This team would get ripped apart by any of the big boys. Anyway, I'm off to watch some point dry for some excitement.

Why has Grealish lost the ability to run round defenders, that was his strength at Villa.
Cut inside and pass, makes him easy to defend, never goes outside his marker.
Have City ruined him?

Finland showing how to create a chance by going outside the full back and getting to the byline.
I don't think either Grealish or Palmer have done that yet.

Time for some subs to freshen things up and bring some urgency.

I was half watching it during the add breaks when Jeremiah Johnson was on ITV4. But now that’s finished, I can’t justify watching England anymore. So boring.
