lol, England.
He wouldn't need to jump in, he'd already held him up to the point of being able to stick a foot in, get closer. Or, as I say, show him outside.
Backing off like that he's just asking for him to take a shot. Poor defending, whichever way you look at it.

LOL England.
Useless as usual.

The first one his positioning was atrocious, he got no where near it, the second went through his legs which is schoolboy stuff, our defence is the worst its been for years though.

Good to see Herrera getting his Spain debut 
If it was anyone other than Stones you wouldn't question it, it's just the bandwagon that everyone is jumping on.
To take positives we played some nice flowing football and could easily have scored 5 goals over the course of the match, on the downside we should probably be happy with a draw as Spain should have scored 3 goals in the last 10 mins but for the Stones block.
Once again Rooney was not missed at all even with the likes of Lallana and Kane injured.

Not at all, I like Stones, that isn't like one of his monumental **** ups but it was poor.
I'd have said that was poor whoever it was.
I also like Heaton, i'm glad he's got a chance but that was also poor for the second goal.
I was actually pleasantly surprised by the overall performance, good pressure, good tempo, some good moments, albeit against an under strength Spain side.

Well FIFA have fined the home nations for displaying poppies in their world cup qualifiers:
'England have been fined 45,000 Swiss francs (£35,311), Scotland and Wales 20,000 Sfr (£15,694) and Northern Ireland 15,000 Sfr (£11,770)'.
Not sure why we don't just keep displaying poppies, paying the fines, and ignoring FIFA if that's the extent of the sanction.

Why the difference between England and Scotland when we played each other and had matching armbands on?
