Penalty for England? Not a chance for me. Looks like a Kane push first.
Watching on C4. Jack Grealish must have something over Dion Dublin. The love in has been ridiculous all game but describing Grealish's miss at the end of the first half as difficult was laughable.

What Grealish needs to do is fall over some more 🙄 as I type off for Foden.

England conspiring to be their own downfall again, hopefully we can hold on. Although it looks like Itally realised soon into the second half theat they were being out shithoused by England and stsrted to out shithouse England ...

Can't agree with you there Frido, if that ref could have avoided giving us anything he would have done, that was a cracking first half from England and a gutsy second half. |

Don't dispute that it was a good first half and a very good win. Still can't see a penalty though. And Grealish would be a better player stood up. |

Arm in an unnatural position and Kane about to take possession, 10-15 years ago probably not given (if ref sees it, obviously no VAR back then) but these days its a nailed on pen. Thought the ref was shocking, I'm all for stamping out time wasting and getting the card out early but it was over the top tonight. Anyone who has ever played the game even at Sunday league level knows you don't often throw the ball to the first player you look at from a throw and you look around for the best option... with this ref if you took more than 5 seconds, the card came out. If every ref did that, there would be at least 5 cards a game |

Just waiting for the next honours list to be announced where surely kane will receive a knighthood and something also for grealish like the order of the golden studs.

I'm surprised by the lack of enthusiasm about us winning what on paper was the toughest match of the qualifying group.

Because people prefer to criticise and get much more enjoyment out of that, sadly. Thought we were brilliant 1st half. Should have been 3 really and then its game over. The Italians came out 2nd half and had a good go, as you'd expect them at home. Not won there since 1961 so a great result (just a shame it wasnt the same scoreline in the Euros final). They couldnt get close to Bellingham 1st half. He will be so important to the squad in the next 10 years. Rice was immense. Phillips covered the whole pitch which is pretty good going considering his lack of game time at City. Kane lead the line well and I thought Stones at CB was strong and solid. No doubt we were hanging on at the end, especially when we went down to 10 men which the ref couldnt wait to do but all in all a fantastic win and a good start to the campaign! |
