1-1.  You have to give them something.  

If they score from 1 free kick, give them another.

2-1.  B................s.

And an unseeded player won the tennis, against the world number 1 - if she won.

The same second I think as the Sweden scored the freakish winner last night.

England are like Town, can't defend a lead and can't deal with free kicks. So why give them away in dangerous positions?

Taking the wider view,  we should be group winners with some daylight.  As we should reasonably expect. Getting to finals is our thing. As is struggling badly when we get to the real business.

Undeserved point for England and hard luck for Scotland. Pity they couldn't hang on.

This clueless pretend Barcelona, tip-tapping around the back four for 15 -20 passes until somebody, usually Rashford, decides to run with the ball is just hopeless. A better side would have slaughtered England.

The manager will not get anywhere trying to copy other sides with the players he's got.

Quite right TRRFC. For some reason, the current team think that a meaningless, pointless pass sideways that you don't need to make and which gets you absolutely nowhere is a good thing. As is tippy-tappy nonsense around the edge of the box when a shot is worth a go.

We're not as good as the best teams so we shouldn't pointlessly pass the ball around sideways against the weaker nations to pretend that we are. Very poor overall today but credit to Kane for getting a couple of decent efforts on target. Alli yet again nothing more than self-indulgent flicks that went nowhere. Both Smalling and Cahill remain carthorses.

I bet the manager thinks this was a good performance though. In the 2nd half I tried counting passes just for a few minutes and twice England reached 20 passes without getting past the centre circle and three times they did more than 15. They either lost the ball or Radford eventually got it (twice) with his back to goal, turned and ran. He could have been given the ball with the 2nd pass instead of the 22nd and had more space to run in. Stupid tactics but it's all Southgate seems to know or want.

If your strength is pace then surely you want to get your quick players into space with the ball asap. You don't want them tied up with 2 defenders on them while you tip-tap around.  :-/

Football used to be entertaining. Apart from the last 10 minutes this was cr*p

I would not waste another penny paying to watch England.

I would rather watch Cleethorpes than the prima donnas of English football.

Genuinely can't think or remember who England's manager is at the moment, don't know why but really not that fused... Club over country all day when it comes to football.

Stand out performers.. Wood, Rashid, Stokes and Morgan

But when Gareth logs onto his prozone he'll be well chuffed at those all important pass completion rates!

Well, this news fills my heart with joy:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/england/40254464

Right, so we're probably going to play a central fricking defender in midfield tomorrow night rather than, you know, an actual midfielder in their correct position.

Has Southgate been talking tactics with Bignot?  :-/

It's a meaningless friendly that most people don't give a feck about. He could play him in goal for all I care.

Reminds me of the time Glenn Hoddle played Jamie Redknapp as a sweeper.

ITV now telling us the English players have had a long, arduous season despite many of the ten man French squad playing in England.

Comprehensively outplayed by ten men. Why am I not surprised? Some of the England players have barely phoned in a performance tonight though.

Defence has been particularly poor which isn't perhaps a surprise.
