Sterling has been superb so far.

[CB Fry]

We are never ever ever ever never going to score.

Pound for pound he’s the best on the pitch...

See, I don’t know who is being ironic.. I’ll leave the Sterling responses 

[trousers]

Half decent free kick klaxon

[CB Fry]

Well, we're in the game now.

[OttawaSaint]

That’s a poor effort by McGuire.

[trousers]

FFS McGuire

[BotleySaint]

The difference with Kane and a lot of the other strikers we've seen at the Euros is, he's so static. At a free kick he barely moves. No desire to lose his marker and be the one that gets on the end of it.

He’s not normally like that though. He’s having some sort of problem that’s causing this poor play.

When Kane is not on it he is really not on it.

Indeed. Saints tinted glasses I know, but imagine if Ings was playing out there now instead of Kane....

[OttawaSaint]

Wow, only 2 touches so far for Kane. 

[Lighthouse]

Thanks for letting me know, I thought that was Rasiak up front.

Great point. Ings would be hassling all over. Thats what England are  missing, the like for like replacement. Ings would be perfect here.

[OttawaSaint]

That’s a very Werner-esque chance missed.

[Jonnyboy]

Anyone got a decent stream? 

I'm on Iplayer and it's glitching like fook.

He isn’t at his best but we don’t create anything for him

[hackedoff]

Can they not play a different way ? Seen enough to know how this is going to pan out.

Hard agree. Very pedestrian. Very deliberate, no risk/reward

[Toussaint]

Booing the opposition when in possession is embarrassing. Liverpool started that crap

Then he should drop deeper...? (Like Ings would)

[BotleySaint]

Sick of seeing Kane just flopping about the pitch barely breaking a sweat.

He is a lone striker though, most of the time Ings is one of a two. Having said that I would have lived Ings to be playing 

[Antrimsaint]

Philips having a good game, fair play.

Get it in the fucking mixer 

[trousers]

Blimey, Kane picks up the ball deep...

Stick it up ‘em, they don’t like it up ‘em! Fact

[CB Fry]

It's times like this that we miss Shane Long.

[trousers]

I think I can see Southgate's masterplan here... Get to half time at 0-0, then unleash Grealish and JWP in the second half to win and score several free kicks 

[OttawaSaint]

JWP’s office...

[OttawaSaint]

Shot of the crowd, Golden balls and Ginger nut!

[Antrimsaint]

Philips my mom so far, Has Germany stifled, tidies up so well. Never really watched him closely before.

[OttawaSaint]

Lucky boy Phillips. 

[Toussaint]

Terrible tackle by Phillips

JWP would have scored the free kick tripper limped into the box

[BotleySaint]

One of the middle two will have to be changed at half time. Can't risk them both being on a yellow.

[trousers]

Ooohhh... FFS Kane. Shane Long esque control there

Bloody carthorse up front.

[Antrimsaint]

Penalties nailed on.

[Jimmy_D]

Decent first half, had control for most of it.

[steve green]

Harry Kane, our sloth in the box.
