Another classic performance from our so called England superstars.
Could not even beat a Brazil side who had lost to Uruguay, Colombia and Argentina in their last three games.

If Brasil play well and win perhaps we’ll hear their fans sing “ Rovers… it’s just like watching Rovers ..” At least spell the name of the country right. It is with an " Z " not an " s " Not if you’re Brasilian or Portuguese. My fathers side are Portuguese and many of us live in Brasil. Over here it’s never spelt with a Z. In England it is but whether I’m in Brasil or the Uk or anywhere for that matter for me it’s an S. But no offence taken. Every days a school day. |

So far out of all our international players only Hoole's had any game time!

I'm supporting Wales. Men of harlech into battle. I am going to the final in Cardiff. 30 coaches of Polish support, I knew there were a fair few in Bristol but I am stunned by this. I bet I will turn up and it’ll be vans and the drivers making the money 😂 |

Are we all supporting Finland then? One because we don’t want the other home nations to have any success (replicating their thoughts towards England) and two, Finland are “one of our own” after basing themselves at The Quarters 😁 Backing the Fins but Wales don’t mean much in terms of rivalry to us anymore, they had their 5mins (Euro 2016) For all the chat and confidence, it was amazing to be present at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium to retire Bale in 45mins, watch them have 20 touches of the ball and smash 3 into them in front of our end with 2 in 2mins from Rash n Phil. Thus sending them packing out of a World Cup. In all honesty they’ll skip by Finland with ease but Poland might not be such an easy task in a Play Off Final. Will have more interest in the fortunes of Luxembourg, fully behind those lads to go all the way and make it to Germany. Poland are a heavily possession based footballing team. Look at the stats, in any of their last couple of years games. ANY team that has a fast paced and high press can, with relative ease, nullify this. If Wales have those kind of players then they will win. It also depends on whether the talisman and captain, Lewandowski is playing. My prediction is an extra time game and then it’s in the lap of the gods, with penalties. I say if Wales have those kind of players as I could not name one. |

Can't blame the Scottish Irish or Welsh laughing at the English. If you don't understand why then Google it The British empire was built upon blood, murder and atrocities, add into that forced famine and you have a tinderbox. The cenotaphs all have lest we forget written on them, many will never do so. luckily most is banter albeit if sometimes a few take it too far |

How bad was Chilwell 🙈 Why is Maguire anywhere near this team, absolute donkey,no pace and a mistake two or three times a game. Southgates totally misguided loyalty will screw us in the Euros,he's had years to blood a new central partnership,but no ,now we don't have the time. |

Dunk hardly did himself any favours when he replaced him yesterday. Also it's easy to have a pop at Maguire. He's the whipping boy. What about players like Rashford who are loved but haven't really offered much for England in my humble opinion? |

I thought I would sit down with a cider and watch England last night - Blimey we were poor.
Maguire is not good enough but Southgate adores him.
If Watkins is an international No9 then we really have issues.
Chilwell was an embarrassment - glad he thought his efforts were funny. Utter Crap.
Gallagher was tripe ..
We just seemed to have very little in this so called team of Superstars … Bellingham, Rice and Gordon were the only ones for me that did themselves any credit.

How was the home team for the next game decided? The semi-finals had the higher ranked team (rankings from the Nations League) playing at home, but the home team for the final was drawn at random - whoever won from Wales v Finland would be at home, same for the other three sets of semi-finalists (but excluding Ukraine who will obviously be at 'home' at a neutral location after they won their semi-final). That’s such an unfair system. Home advantage for Wales gives them a decent chance, whereas Poland would have been clear favourites at home. I know there’s a trend to get everything done quicker these days but surely two legs would have been the way to go, given the importance of the outcome? |

Maguire isn't a whipping boy ,he's just a poor defender that has no pace and struggles to do the basics,the reason he is criticised is because he makes the team all the time as first choice,Rashford is in the team depending on who's available so not considered first choice if everyone else is available. |

I know there’s a trend to get everything done quicker these days but surely two legs would have been the way to go, given the importance of the outcome? The reason why it's being done like this is the shift in the international calendar. The World Cup was only 14 months ago and Euros only 2 years and 8 months ago. Similarly UEFA are using the Nations League for Euros qualifying as there's simply not enough time to get full qualifying in. It's not perfect but something had to be done. |

Captaining the U21s is a great achievement for Luca. He must be part of wales’ long term plans. He expect him to play for the full side before Azza at this rate!! |

Surprised Hoole's captain as I didn't think he was usually a regular starter? If Wales make the Euro finals later he might well make it to the finals.
The England U20 goalie, James Beadle, is also the captain so its going to be tough task Ward displacing him.

If Dunk is the next best after Harry Maguire then give me Harry Maguire anyday based on these 2 games.
