England v Andorra (6/9/25) & Serbia (9/9/25)

[marinersfan]

Well they came out of nowhere.

Great football. Serbia holding a line that high was not a good idea.

 

[adidan]

Looks like the Serbian crowd that has been allowed in trying to get involved with a whistle and laser.

That whistle is very annoying!

 

[adidan]

Surely that has to stand?

E: Yup

 

[Robbo]

Can't really grumble at this performance, making pretty short work of a difficult team.

Without Bellingham et al and against a team that has caused others problems, including Spain, I'm pleased so far.

Still 30+ minutes for that to change though

 

[adidan]

Rice hasn't got his shooting boots on tonight, just his corner taking ones

 

[adidan]

Red card seems harsh

 

[Rroff]

Red card seems harsh

Definitely harsh, though fully deserving of a yellow.

 

[henry hoov3r]

Silly tackle really.

 

[CliffyG]

Fairly enjoyable watch this is, hopefully they keep performing like this and don't revert after this game.

 

[Rroff]

Silly tackle really.

Silly tackles coming in hard/fast/low and kicking towards the ankles, even unintentionally, tends to come under a lot more scrutiny now due to the potential for career ending injuries. It has caught out a few at National League level with cards given people weren't expecting.

 

[henry hoov3r]

Not quite sure why Bowen doesn’t get more minutes.

 

[danswan]

I'm still awake in an England qualifier!

 

[Robbo]

5-0, can't argue with that.

Also, Norway just beat Moldova 11-1

I'm not saying this because he scored a pen, but we have to find a way to get Rashford working for England.

 

[danswan]

I hate those pens. Looks good but could look so bad if the keeper just fakes one way.

On his day he is unplayable. There’s just not enough of them days.

No domestic club can get him "working", so he shouldn't be getting a look in at international level.
