its a foul?

 

Ball not in play.

[BotleySaint]

We look awful defensively. At least one more Norway goal will go in tonight. 

[adrian lord]

If we get through tonight, we have been very jammy

[Gloucester Saint]

Cut out the Russball lads.

It was before the corner was taken. Hence retaken corner. New rule apparently.

What a load of bollox of a rule. 

[obelisk]

Norway currently all over England. They're looking fitter, sharper and more confident.

Yeah, and the ITV studio pundits were crowing that they looked leggy after 10 minutes!

They’re dominating midfield and that’s a gross understatement. Bellingham can’t do it all on his own. Anderson - Jimmy Anderson would have livelier in central areas than Elliott and he’s 1) in his mid-40s and 2) a cricketer. 

[whelk]

My summary is we are fucking shit 

[SNSUN]

Get Dan Burn on!

This Russball bollocks is doing my head in

There was more movement under Russball. Other than Bellingham and Gordon, our lads are cones. 

[Gloucester Saint]

Tough for Gordon to keep that ball in but it’s a better idea. Use width and change pace in spells like Norway did to us after the water break first half using Gordon, Eze and Saka.

Putting everything through the centre leads to England getting over-run.

No penetration. Much like my attempts with women in my teens. 

[BotleySaint]

England back to dull dull dull.

Penetrate, my arse

[Gloucester Saint]

Agree with Ian Wright that Morgan Rogers should be brought on.

But instead it’s Reece James coming on. For Gordon, who had his full back on toast. James into CM seemingly.

Rogers must have spat in Tuchel’s breakfast coffee.

Rogers

[SNSUN]

Reece James coming on. Hopefully for Stones who hasn't been that good

I’m TeamEgg. Stupid fucking rule

[adrian lord]

Gordon off

[obelisk]

You'd think by now that England would give up with the fannying Russball. James first touch nearly let's them in.

No, it came off Stones 

And then took a very faint touch off a Norway player before going out.

🎵 Penetration, that’s what you need 🎵 

Oh, no, it was dedication wasn’t it? 😉 

[obelisk]

England defence a shambles yet again. Norway just run at them with ease.

[SNSUN]

We look awful. I know it's bloody hot out there but we're not exactly playing a team known for their equator-like temperatures. 

[adrian lord]

Scary stuff. We seem shapeless.

[SNSUN]

Fucking hell squeaky bum time there. Crossbar. 

[whelk]

Deserve to get beat tonight. Just shite

Yep. Shocking. No shape, no pace, no obvious tactics, out muscled, etc. 

Shite. 

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

BRING ON JORDAN HENDERSON!

It'll be like watching Pele in Escape to Victory, except Pele has age on his side.

[SNSUN]

Just get the crosses in England.

Set piece defending and organisation even worse.

Add in baffling Russball and not a positive sign.

Norway have been miles better than England second half.

Nearly our own fluke cross-shot there. Better though. Best form of defence with the personnel we have out there is attack. 

[SNSUN]

Protect the draw. Play for penalties. 😜

[adrian lord]

98% of this game, from both sides, has been lower reaches of the premiership standard

As much as I would find the image of Hendo emerging, arm in bandage a lá peak Lee Barnard so hillarious......

Such a disjointed 11 we’ve got on the pitch

Poor bloke can’t even have a post-match wank in the hotel after England get knocked out in extra time. 

[SNSUN]

I must have missed the hydration break.  Now I have to hold my wee in.

[whelk]

Tuchel talking about us going for it tonight. No manager seems to be able to make a difference. Cursed

Norway are the only team looking like winning this.

[Whitey Grandad]

This is all down the wrong end.

[skintsaint]

no pressure on the ball, look spent.

[BotleySaint]

England half asleep. Off the pace. Is it the heat?

[SNSUN]

Norway score now - Norway win. Simple.

If we score next you still think Norway could get the equaliser. Our attack has gone.

Cannot possibly use that excuse against Norway ffs 

[Saint Billy]

What is the game plan then Tuchel, because we are not offering anything.
