Odin Bailey and Lewis Fiorini both speaking in the promo video on BBC before the game! Stockport road sign and Foden playing on the streets near EP too.

We'd better bloody win tonight. I mean, how many more years can we sing "It's Coming Home!"? It has been around so long that monks were singing it as a Gregorian chant. Book of Gareth - Ye verily it was said unto thee, rejoice, for it is coming home. GET IN !!!!! ⚽️

Spain early possession, lots of back and side but we’re showing them outside well. Rice did a cracking job of mopping up the time they did get through.

Beautiful tackle that from Stones. I didn’t like how much he was showing the Spanish player of Pickford but can’t fault that.

Looks like 4-2-3-1 with Bellingham on left to me.
Don't mind matching up their wingers. Kane still looks out of sorts though and hasn't won a header when we've hit it long. Saka vs Cucurella 1v1 out best bet. Shaw bright too.

Happy so far. Spain don’t look anything special without their wingers
Walker is f*cking rapid isn’t he

Pleased with that. I think Spain just about edged the half but there’s not much in it. They’ve had more of the ball but it feels like there’s been a similar number of chances. We’ve had one more shot on target than they have.
Have to say, for all the talk of how much more attacking Spain are than us I’ve not seen it there. Plenty of patient sideways and backwards of the style that we’ve been criticised for. They’ve shown occasional glimpses of being able to slide us open but we’ve defended our box exceptionally well.
This could easily go either way.

A decent first half for me, good discipline from England and despite Spain dominating possession they couldn't create too many chances. Very tight game, as you would expect.

Watkins for Kane would improve us a lot imo.

Our fullbacks, in fact, the whole defence have had excellent games so far which helps but Kane looks a shadow of himself. Bunching up with Bellingham and Foden and often even deeper. We need a threat in behind.

Obviously a completely different scale, but similar to how we had to approach Notts County last year.
Be accepting and realise that they will have lots of the ball, but stay disciplined and pick our moments.
We will get chances in this second half. Come on!
