Spain v England

[Tresor'sTracksuit]

Just be brave.

[boatshed bill]

This build up on BBC is painful. They should just start the programme 15 minutes before kick off.

Yes, it's awful. Drumming up some fake emotion.

[ClaretAndJew]

Nice butchering of the national anthem there.

[Buxtonclaret]

The smokes cleared & off we go.
COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU LIONS!

[claretskeith]

Did Morata just refuse to shake Kane's hand.

[Rick_Muller]

Benefit of BBC is the UHD HDR broadcast on the Red button, albeit about 20 seconds behind live but worth it for the picture quality

[IanMcL]

Good luck England

[BurnleyFC]

Struggling to get the ball off Spain at the moment.

[Buxtonclaret]

Good luck England

Are we keeping you up, Ian ?

[Buxtonclaret]

Brilliant cover then from Stones.

[Tresor'sTracksuit]

Better

[HahaYeah]

Bellingham, Saka, Walker, good break.

[IanMcL]

Not sure why so much is made of Pickford and his ability 'on the ball', making him a better choice, then a keeper with arms!

Not seen anything throughout the tournament, which says his long passing is accurate and his short passes are no different to anyone else.

[BurnleyFC]

Final ball letting England down so far.

[ElectroClaret]

England coming into it more, some good stuff there.

[Buxtonclaret]

Saka can skin Cucurella!

[Rick_Muller]

Good luck England

This you mate?

[Tricky Trevor]

Englands unpressed passing is diabolical.

[HahaYeah]

Cucaracha let us off the hook there. Daft as he looks.

[IanMcL]

This you mate?

https://youtu.be/p6j70lYm6m0?si=n_6nHzAipYCeZAjZ

Nope. All for England.

[Tricky Trevor]

The long ball to Kanes head;
A)He hasn’t won one.
B) If he does there is nobody around him

[BurnleyFC]

Kane and Mainoo passengers so far.

[ElectroClaret]

Yellow for Kane.

[BurnleyFC]

Kane dropping deep again and gets booked.

Stay up front, you big lump!

[HahaYeah]

Bad pass from Kane to Shaw. Now he's got a yellow, hope Southgate will bring on Watkins asap.

[Tresor'sTracksuit]

These are high in the dark arts. Need to be smart.

[Rick_Muller]

Fair play to Luke Shaw, had he gone down there it would have been a penalty in this day and age. I’m glad he didn’t though

[boatshed bill]

Kane is so slow.
Best he can do is tire the CBs out a bit and then get subbed, Shame, but he's done at this level.

I would've dropped him tbh. I know I know but he's like a snail. No press and isn't ever on the shoulder of the last nan.

[Rick_Muller]

That was a nasty kick in Rice’s ribs, lucky to be just a yellow

[HahaYeah]

Don't give away a stupid penalty.

[IanMcL]

Should have been a Spain pen. Rice dragged Laporte down.

[Tresor'sTracksuit]

Never

[BurnleyFC]

England playing with ten men at the minute.

Kane won’t stay in position, won’t press, won’t jump.

[Tresor'sTracksuit]

Kane needs dragging off. Offering nothing.

[boatshed bill]

Commentary "In terms of"

[expoultryboy]

Why didn't Saka put Walker in ??

[HahaYeah]

Well done Walker.

[Greekclaret]

Kane doing nothing again. Just ambling around the pitch not closing anyone down

[ElectroClaret]

Foden on target.

[Rick_Muller]

Foden on target.

Did really well there to get to it and keep it on target

[BurnleyFC]

A pretty even half. No real chances at either end.

Be brave, Gareth and hook your captain, who is offering nothing. That wasn’t anywhere near good enough from him.

[HahaYeah]

England doing OK containing a very good team but not offering much threat ourselves.

[bobinho]

Should have been a Spain pen. Rice dragged Laporte down.

“Dragged” is a stretch… certainly holding him round the middle - Laporte tried to make the most of it. Seen em given tho….

[bfcjg]

Kane is struggling, also either Bellingham or Foden need to be taken off.

This wrestling needs stamping out.

[ElectroClaret]

Spain are a good team, but don't seem anything special.
If we use our heads and everyone does their jobs, we can do this.

[Terrier]

Kane is pedestrian, get some pace upfront!

[IanMcL]

Kane is too far back, as everyone is saying. 10 yards further forward and they would worry more.

Distribution is good, which is why he goes deep but up front becomes very bare

He'll probably get a pen to claim the Penalty Golden Boot.

[bobinho]

Nice flick on by Bellingham there, presumably to Kane (who was five yards BEHIND Bellingham) this is crying out for Watkins.

Not so sure Gareth has the heuvos to take Kane off at half time.

Kane off, Watkins on, armband to stones.

Decent half all things considered…imagine if we had a mobile outlet up top?
