Yes, the commentators made exactly the same point. They’ve got far better options wasting away on the bench. They seem to be frightened of his fragile ego melting down.

Turgid affair so far, this France game.

Hahahhahaahaha

Indeed but the France-Belgium game was equally packed with wayward shooting.

Beginning to wonder if the balls they’re using for the tournament are difficult to curl onto or get down on to the target. So many shots from so many players being skied over and well wide.

You get the distinct impression that some of these players detest one another.

Passes over-hit time and time again No movement No guile No pace or passion

So many key players off form.

There must be a problem in the camp. This tournament performance smacks of serious divisions in the team.

lol there it is.

The ref is hopeless and very card happy. Red cards will be brandished by the end.

Trippier puts it into orbit. Never mind the stands…

They’re ruining football by over complicating the intra-game governance. VAR should not be used to forensically analyse every aspect of play looking for technical fouls.

Enjoyable game so far.

Breaking....Foden on a plane back to the UK to attend to "pressing family matters". More to come shortly.

I’m still on the main course, that’s a little harsh!

It’s the missus’ birthday so out in a posh restaurant and missing the game… 0-0 after 60+ minutes doesn’t sound encouraging?

Wow!!! Great response to missing the pen Croatia!

Hilarious

That was never a Scottish penalty. The ref was spot on.

This group stage has been pretty dire and far too drawn out. It’s enough to extinguish one’s enthusiasm for the championships before the last 16.

Class goal. Errr not. I think the spirit of the offside rule is not being applied in football in recent years.

One of the worst aspects of Englishness is the penchant for petite bourgeois officials to exercise petty, peevish power play through unnecessary bureaucracy.

Dutch robbed by VAR

Shambolic. Southgate is vying with Sunak for chump of the year.
