        We have supported them for years, have the flag flying. For having control for 70% Ghana kept them on their toes. I am a Ronaldo fan. :heehee:

              Why is this event on BBC 1 ? Where has world news gone ?
              Or doesn't it matter any more?

                Football is on ITV tonight, often I notice that the news midday on BBC gets moved to BBC2 or vice versa.

                You could watch the BBC new channel.:smile:

                  Saka is the only England player that takes anyone on, Kane waits in the middle to get something given to him, Greelish yeah , he works at it.
                  The rest are just back passers.

                    You get these kinds of games, however, if the USA had won many would be saying it was a shock. If the states had a prolific goal scorer, they would have beaten us, it would have been nothing more than they deserved. Yet Southgate in the after-match interview stated we controlled the game playing out from the back :scratch: I don't think we controlled the game anywhere on the pitch.
                    Excluding the win against Iran, that is 4 draws and 3 loses in our last 8 matches. Never rated Southgate, if he had been a league manager with them results, he would have been sacked.

                      I think they were just aiming to not lose. Put in minimum effort to keep the scoreline adequate to win the group

                        I tend to not get too excited when England are playing, its generally a disappointment. The way I see it, ‘we’ just ain’t good enough, never will be.
