It says they were forced to come to a decision about playing, not that they were under pressure to play as you earlier put. Under those terms they could have not played that evening.

Same difference really. That was want I meant, anyway. UNDER PRESSURE TO MAKE A DECISION, if that makes it clearer for you. The alternative was restarting the Whole game within less than 24 hours which would have been a massive disadvantage to both countries having to play more minutes. Peter Schmeichel's well placed to comment on this by the way. Peter Schmeichel, father of Kasper, expressed his fury at the game resuming live on BBC Radio Five Live. He said per Daily Mail: "I want to put on record that it is absolutely ridiculous that UEFA come up with a solution like that. "Something terrible happens and UEFA gives the players an option to go out and play the game the last 55 minutes or whatever it was or come back at 12 o clock today, I mean what kind of option is that? "So you go back to your hotel - in the case for the Danes is 45 minutes away - you cannot sleep, you might not even sleep because watching trauma like that has a massive effect on you of course and then get back on the team bus at 8 to play the rest of the game. "It was not an option, it was a ridiculous decision by UEFA and they should have tried to work out a different scenario and show bit of compassion and they didn't."

Was anybody else shocked by the stat that we had never won our first game of a euros? I was amazed at that not going to lie. It's not how you start it's how you finish. I'm not going to make too many judgements on these early games. Thank you for not lying

A great result and glad the headless chicken AKA Sterling got a goal. He isn’t world class but he has some serious pace.
I’m very much looking for a post brexit statement to Europe and win it would very much supply that.
Beating Scotland will be a nice statement to Jimmy Krankie.
Come on England

I've seen reports that a fan fell from the top tier, hoping for the best outcome for the person involved. Takes a bit of the shine off the result.

Having watched Bristol Rovers last season lose game after game because they didnt have a natural leader with the character to motivate the team , i was a little unnerved by the fact that England seem to have the same problem. There are a few good talented youngsters with their best years in front of them but where is the man of steel who will hold them together when Belgium or France turn it on. If Maguire is not fit enough to play and marshall the troops then i fear that we may well fall short. Phillips may fit that role in years to come but he is still a novice at this level and most people did not even think that he would play today. Maybe my recovery is not as advanced as i thought that it was .

Asked about Trippier, Southgate said: "We felt that his talking across the back line and his ability to get out and stop crosses quickly and his experience on a day like today - alongside Tyrone Mings, who is relatively early in his international career - would be a good stabilising element.
"He is a very underrated player. People are still looking at the player from a few years ago and not at the one who is at Atletico Madrid and playing like a warrior in the last few seasons.
"He is a big part of what we've done over the last few years and he gave a really good performance.

Three points and a clean sheet is all that matters. I do feel the heat played a part. There was no way the high intensity pressing we started with could last even half a game. However, I think we will see a lot more of that on Friday night.
With such a big talented squad, nobody is ever going to agree on the starting eleven but I think yesterday showed we should all trust Southgate and his choices. I am sure there will be other starting elevens and formations we wont agree on. The likes of Grealish and Sancho will get their moments.

Scotland vs Czech Republic at Hampden Park.
Are we for/against Scots or not bothered? I actually think Scots are in the best place they have been for a long time. Their midfield and defence is quite strong (McTominay, Mcginn, Gilmour, Robertson, Tierney etc) . Steve Clarke seems to be doing a good job. From their point of view they are in a tough group and the Czechs are no push overs as they have proven by beating us! Think today will be a tight game. Good luck to big jock and all other Scottish Gasheads out there!
