[Football] England v Malta official match thread

[Guinness Boy]

Welcome to your England thread where @Sheebo and I support the national team we’ve followed since young childhood and everyone else moans about Southgate or pretends to be walking the dog.

Anyway, having said that, tonight’s starting XI is the most Southgate like I’ve ever seen. Three at the back or Tomori at left back? I’m going for the former.

Should have enough for Malta even with Jordan Henderson playing.

 

[Giraffe]

I’m with you. COME ON ENGLAND!!

I will be supporting Malta as I have done since childhood because Gary Chivers was my favourite Albion player.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Excellent Sir Bobby tribute

Gallagher and Henderson in the middle

Teddy Teuma used to play for USG.

It’s a worry. Malta should be one up

Comedy own goal

Lovely instinctive finish by the Malta defender

Jordan Henderson is winning his 81st England cap.

He's made 13 appearances for Al-Ettifaq this season who are seventh in the Saudi Pro League.

He didn't go for the money though. He made that clear.

You're criticising Sir Gareth Southgate and that's not allowed. Sit on your hands to let the happy clappers clap theirs for Sir Gareth's England.

Getting booed again though, which is amusing. Doubtless Sir Gareth will be moaning again later on.

Yes, sorry about that.

England to romp their way to the Euros with a tactical genius at the helm who's sought after by every Premier League chairman.

Probably more fans in Wembley tonight than all 13 of those matches combined.

 

[Eric the meek]

This game is so entertaining, I found myself reading Crodo's Christmas TV 2023 thread.

 

[St Leonards Seagull]

Awful game, so far.

 

[Algernon]

I really like maltesers but will still be hoping Ingerlund win.
Despite my obvious loathing of all things English and this being totally boring.
Lols Kane.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Definite dive from Kane.

Ref got that right.

 

[Algernon]

His left leg always goes out at 45° when it follows his right. That's how people run
