I'm enjoying it for a change, which doesn't often happen with England games. England's ineptitude and constantly losing possession is actually making it a better game. I am however appalled that we have no-one better than Jordan Henderson for centre mid. The amount of time he loses the ball is laughable. He wouldn't get in most good footballing nations third team.

Don't just pick on Henderson. The same comment would apply to most of these Premier League prima-donnas.

Good save from Hart.

I find I no longer really care about England's performances and results and I just watch them with no emotion. As a younger man I would be as badly affected by their disappointments as I was by Town misfortune. Only really bothered by Town now, whereas I felt it was like supporting 'two Grimsbys' in my teens, 20's and early 30's.
I find the punditry that surrounds their matches to be nauseating and the ludicrous amounts to money paid to these overexposed bunch of average footballers to be farcical.

Completely agree with Chaos33, don't know if that's because as you get older you get either wiser or senile.

Still is for me   and I'm in my 50's, especially in major tournaments.

It's ridiculous that because transfer fees are so high in the Premier League that the people who only watch that rubbish believe that it represents the quality of the players in it. Everyone is blind to the fact that we are hubristic about our top league and that Barca, Bayern, Real, Athletico, PSG, Monaco, Dortmund, Juve etc are far superior to any of our teams at all aspects of the game. Nothing to do with a lack of a winter break or the intensity of the Premier League but that those clubs always have a core of players who have developed through their own youth system or have at very least 2/3rds of their team are from the nation of the club itself. Players play more and develop faster rather than all our clubs paying extortionate amounts of money for some bloke you've never heard of and just because he cost £30m means we assume he's unbelievably good because of the cost.

Rant over

Good performance after a shaky start.
