FIFA International Friendlies ** spoilers ** [2Oth May - 8th June 2016]

Well...you cant do that?

What are you talking about? A player can't slow down or stop now?

If i'm running with the ball, you're chasing me, I stop and you barge me over, that's not a foul?

The onus is on the defender to not make contact.

He sprinted clear, slowed down, leaned in and dived. Its cheating...
 
If England play like that at the Euros, they'll really struggle to get out of the group stage.

Too many poor touches all over the pitch.
Too often giving away possession cheaply, needlessly.
Too obvious and predictable in the opponents box, relying on opposition making mistakes because they can't open up defences.
Too much hoofing the ball up the pitch (esp headers) with no purpose, giving ball straight to opponent.

Was pretty dire tonight. Worst England performance for several games.

Agreed. But this isn't even the final team, and there were good moments of promise I thought. Obviously, there needs to be improvement but I'm hopeful we'll put together a decent team for the Euros.

We were lucky tonight that Kane's goal was wrongly allowed (he was clearly offside) and the 2-1 scoreline flatters to deceive.
