England won, Ferguson gets game time not injured ,whats not to like?
I gave up at half time and thought Ferguson had looked fairly useless, mostly just strolling around, did he improve in the second half?

Harsh I accept as Ireland only looked half decent in their own box and he had pretty well zero service.

He played half the second period and was anonymous, as Ireland couldn’t maintain a ‘get in their faces’ gameplan.

Just back from the game.

As far as Sunday football afternoons go, it really couldn't been any more enjoyable. (I'm sorry Evan didn't score a consolation - I think that should cover it!)

5th row from the front behind the goal where England scored all 5. :drool:

The sending off and penalty was clearly the key moment, but England could've easily settled at 2 or 3. To their credit, they didn't slacken off and coast.

Some fantastic finishes - a well worked set piece, a great flick on and a towering header. Kane's reliable from the spot and Gordon reacted quickly.

Having not seen the national side for a while before the Finland September game, it surprised me just how great the experience is, even with Wembley.

The attractive style of play aside, there's nothing quite like watching the national team at the home of football. Put the cynicism aside and try it.

At £25 for adults in ESTC, it was tremendous value. The FA certainly don't get everything right, but they can put on a show at an affordable price.

Can't wait for the World Cup Qualifying draw now on 13th December. My 2025 will now be spent collecting stamps in the passport.
