England v Wales

[ElectroClaret]

Nowt else on so I'll watch this.
Hope there's some action and Tuchels told them to go for it.

[ElectroClaret]

1-0 England
Didn't take long.

[Buxtonclaret]

2 up

[Rowls]

2-0 England
Didn't take longer.

[ClaretTony]

I might have given this a miss but finally last time out in Serbia I was impressed with England.

[ElectroClaret]

One way traffic this.

[fidelcastro]

A bit like watching us at Manchester City is this.

[Buxtonclaret]

They're playing some very clever approach play.
Welsh heads must be spinning.

[bobinho]

Benson scores the third…

[Rowls]

This is what I'd hoped the football might be like under Tuchel.

[Buxtonclaret]

Wow!

[ElectroClaret]

Beauty
Bellamy looks furious.

[Tufty]

Just seen a clip on BBC iplayer...last time Wales beat England at Wembley...50 years ago ! Guess who scored the winning goal (a penalty). ?

[Buxtonclaret]

Taff?

That was his “beast” moment…

[dougcollins]

That was his “beast” moment…

Ha ha, yes.

He never returned to the field though.

[ClaretTony]

Taff?

It was but always seemed strange to call him Taff when he was playing alongside ten other Welshmen.

[BurnleyFC]

Rodon has had a good game for Wales I think.

[Buxtonclaret]

It was but always seemed strange to call him Taff when he was playing alongside ten other Welshmen.

Only one Taff, as far as I'm concerned.

[dougcollins]

Is Darlo the Leeds keeper?

[ClaretTony]

Is Darlo the Leeds keeper?

Yes - scored for us at Newcastle in 2018. A Sam Vokes header came off the bar, hit him and went in.

I remember that. We were so far away it was as if it was in slow motion.

I could see the Stadium of Light from my seat.

[Tricky Trevor]

Good comeback win for the Scots. 3-1 over Greece.
QH came on for Holland, 84mins. 0-4 up in added time.

It’s an incredible view on a clear day but not good for watching football

[beddie]

Couldn’t be bothered watching it, instead I watched Fred Dibnah then All Creatures Great and Small A good nights viewing.

I watched 1st half now we are watching the last 2 episodes of "Frauds" on ITVX ... couldn't be ***sed with the 2nd half

[Vegas Claret]

I didn't even know it was on

[timshorts]

It was but always seemed strange to call him Taff when he was playing alongside ten other Welshmen.

And given that he was from Swansea, it is rather like calling Jay Rodriguez "Scouse".

[jrgbfc]

See Tuchel having a pop about the atmosphere. He's probably got a point, but you can't fill the ground with corporates and tourists eating popcorn then expect a loud, intimidating atmosphere. One of many things that annoys me about modern footy.

[CaptJohn]

I watched the whole game and was impressed. Tuchel is building a team, not just a bunch of talented individuals. They have a game plan and structure that will bring results. The only question mark was the inclusion of Dean Henderson. I personally think he's "yesterday's man" and should be put out to pasture as far as the international scene is concerned.

[Dark Cloud]

Yes - scored for us at Newcastle in 2018. A Sam Vokes header came off the bar, hit him and went in.

The goal was credited to Sam though I think?

[Goalkeeper]

But you could be bothered posting about something you didn't watch?
I thought there would have been record viewing figures with all the interest in flying the national flag?

[Swizzlestick]

Torn between liking some typical German directness after years of middle management niceties from Southgate but also thinking it's a bit off that a man being paid millions should have a go at fans paying minimum £30 a pop for a meaningless friendly game.

[ClaretTony]

The goal was credited to Sam though I think?

It was given as a Darlow own goal which it had to be, wouldn't have gone in otherwise.

[matttheclaret]

The goal was credited to Sam though I think?

Possibly getting mixed up with another Vokes header against Newcastle? I remember a header from the edge of the box at the Turf. Think it might even have been his last goal for us

That’s a good ( if ironic ) point , but a meaningless midweek televised friendly ,watching Eng reserves against comedy opposition was always gonna be a tough sell .

Perhaps if the FA resurrected the” home internationals” as a mini tournament it may generate interest . Though with “ pretendy” tournaments like the International guff that’s the Nations League, it’s a forlorn hope .

No, it was definitely at SJP as I was there and an evening game if I remember rightly. I stand corrected (by CT) as I always thought the goal was credited to Vokes.
