Left his foot in. Referee got it right!

Defo a pen

BBC reporting we’ve had a shot. I must have missed it.

Can’t believe we need to suspend our fixtures for 2 weeks so England can play chuffing Malta.

Well as ever it’s a matter of opinion. From the angle I saw Kane deliberately moves his leg to the left to initiate contact with the keeper that causes the foul. For me that should not be a penalty. Kane and others have been doing it for years and I know some find it acceptable but I think it’s cheating

An absolutely dreadful "performance" so far

Florian · Post by **Florian** » Fri Nov 17, 2023 8:26 pm

Pitch at turf looks better than wembley

Not sure which team has qualified for the finals. Is it the one playing in red?

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Fri Nov 17, 2023 8:30 pm

England's current XG is 0.05

That's worse than Burnleys usual this season

Sproggy · Post by **Sproggy** » Fri Nov 17, 2023 8:30 pm

Alexander Arnold with our 2nd shot. So high that it’s affecting the flight path into Heathrow.

never a pen, Kane initiated the whole thing. Glad he got booked.

Abandoned at half time for Corrie and it’s not even tonight’s episode. That was truly pathetic.

Rowls · Post by **Rowls** » Fri Nov 17, 2023 8:41 pm

Highlight so far is Joe Cole confidently re-writing the rules of the game in the studio at half time.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Fri Nov 17, 2023 8:43 pm

Great half by the lions. Kept Malta at arms length throughout and took our chance expertly when it came.

At least Foden has run at his man down our right. Rashford is a spectator on the left.
Grealish at HT please. Gallagher has played well again.

How many times do we get the ball over the halfway line to turn and play it back to the CBs? It’s awful.

Anyone else think Rashford is completely over-rated? Personally never seen the player in that him others seem too.

Most disinterested person on the pitch for both utd and england yet on 300k a week

timshorts · Post by **timshorts** » Fri Nov 17, 2023 9:11 pm

And yet, the goal that someone who plays in the Maltese league scored is the one presently responsible for England qualifying and probably being in pot 1.

Not watched any of their matches, but given all the reports on here, how **** must Italy be to be worried about not finishing second?

As soon as he loses a yard he will be completely finished at the top level, imo.

He has patches where he can bully and dominate but take that away from him he’s a very limited footballer imo.

Never rated him that highly - think reds over rate him because he bagged a few against some of their close rivals in quick succession when he debuted.

You can always tell the quality of an England game with the amount of planes that drift across the screen

Feel a bit sorry for Malta.
They've played well, up to now.

2-0 but absolutely dire considering the opposition. Make that 3 and still awful but it’s a decent finish by Rice

Ruled out for offside

Joke. Neither were interfering and neither were blocking the keepers view. Do we have an English var and a Foreign var now then. The sooner we get rid of this var sh— e the better.

The ball touched Kane who was in an offside position. Correct decision.
