I don’t bother posting on England threads on here but read some pathetic comments earlier - didn’t know we had so many Scottish, German and Italian posters.Hardest game of the group out of the way. 3 points. Job done.
I know half of Europe qualify now but our Euro 2008 qualifying campaign still haunts me, so tonight is massive.
Huge win for the record-breaking, cheating, one-season wonder and the rest of the team.
How can anyone not like Kane:
England Captain
Give his all for his country
Is clearly a genuine decent guy and not arrogant
Married his childhood sweetheart and never see him misbehaving at all
Class act and delighted for him
Sounded fantastic out there tonight - tough second half but they were much better. Win the first game away at the Euro champions with a poor ref who was biased to boot - absolutely great result - first half we were brilliant

Jesus Christ, bloody England. It's hard work, isn't it? I wish we didn't need to have this international rubbish, would MUCH rather be watching Brighton. And Kane, despite his many goals (well done, Harry) is an intensely dislikeable, cheating ****.

Say it as it is, he's shit now. He once was a pretty reliable defender but not anymore. He costs goals, he's got a mistake a game, his positioning is often poor and he's not great with his feet. His pass leading to their goal was woeful, his lunge worse. He's just not the player he once was.
Erik Ten Hag never plays him except cup games, for for all the above. He's just good enough at elite level.
We were comfortable and cruising and in a minute after Maguires mistakes, its 2-1 and we're backs to the wall.
But because we've just won in Italy, Southgate will claim some kind of vindicaton, though we won tonight in spite of Macguire.
There's plenty of better defenders and Ben White is one, though unfortunately pride and loyalty come before form and ability with Southgate.
Most probably, I missed the first half,He's been persuaded into decisions by both teams throughout the game. He's spineless. Other posters have already covered this.
You just can't see past your anti England bias

The frothing is more entertaining to be fair.I don't know what's more entertaining these days. Watching England play or seeing the anti Southgate Muppets on here frothing at the mouth..... Again!
We've scraped home then. Good show, mind-numbing excitement....................it is what it is.

Can you imagine Brighton with such poor composure on the ball in the second half? We were incapable of playing out from the back, so Pickford would just repeatedly hoof it back to the Italians. Italy weren't good enough to capitalise, and a few bits of individual skill from our lot saw us home, but as a team we're incapable of keep-ball under pressure.
Yeah no.I don’t bother posting on England threads on here but read some pathetic comments earlier - didn’t know we had so many Scottish, German and Italian posters.

We were getting yellow cards within 20 seconds of being awarded a throw-in or free-kick. That's BS.

I don't support England though, I support Brighton. I watch it to be entertained. It's football.
An impressive win and but for Grealish missing a sitter it would have been a lot more comfortable.
However, the only reason the game became so tense after half time is Harry Macguire handed them a goal. It was appalling defending. Then Southgate looked like a rabbit in the headlights for 30 minutes as Manchini changed it and took control, it was a complete rerun of the Euros. In fairness the introduction of James and Gallagher changed the game back in our favour but it still felt same old same old.
