The highlight for me was seeing the Bradford City flag on display .
The fans who flew it must have felt as though they were back at Valley Parade, watching Platt and Critchlow passing to each other.
Those of us who were around in 1966 still remember that boring 0-0 against Uruguay. So keep the faith!

Wasn't a great watch last night, too many players had an off night, but still don't get all the stick Southgate seems to be getting.
The first target is to get out of the group. Barring a miraculous 4 goal defeat to Wales, job doneJonButterfield, Skyebantam and Kevin1954 like this. -

Then another favourable draw got us to the final of a home tournament. We go one up early on again and once again he shuts up shop, gets tactically outsmarted by his opposite number and we lose the game.
He's a good man, but a terrible tactician. His misuse of Foden whilst Mount continues to stink the place out every time he put on an England shirt is a disgrace and it will be down to his refusal to play to this squad's strengths that will be his downfall.Chris Redfield, Jayteebee and Faithful Bantam like this. -

Southgate is a clown. He criticised the players more after beating Iran 6-2 than he did after one of the worst performances of his tenure last night. He's more pleased with a clean sheet and draw than he is with scoring 6 and winning just because we conceded twice.

England definitely played not to lose. As others have said, just like watching City at home.
Main thing is barring a thrashing by Wales by 4 goals we are through to next stageTony Wilkinson likes this. -

Here’s my take
Trippier and Saka, absolutely garbage
Mount is CC level so garbage in that set up
Sterling anonymous
Kane anonymous because of 1,2 and 3 above
Why no Foden after 60 mins is beyond comprehension

We have a good generation of attacking footballers at our disposal yet Southgate always goes safety first. Boring rubbish

Same way if MH gets us out of this league playing the current state of football. Priority for England is to qualify and do what it takes to try and win the WC. It was awful last night, but we’re set to qualify if we don’t get beaten 4-0, and judging on last nights performance, that’s not going to happen. If we do win the WC beating all in front of us with a ground out, scrappy 1-0 result each time, Southgate will be lauded as a tactical genius. I read a quote yesterday that England fans only have two songs: “it’s coming home” and “you’re getting sacked in the morning”.

if people thought 6-2 versus Iran was some instant panacea to what has gone on this summer, then you might have to think again. Can’t believe anyone thought USA would be a pushover, I agree that we were very disappointing, but a lot of it was down to the opposition, we always struggle against a high press in an important game, and what was even more frightening was how slow we were without the ball. All the Foden’s in the world won’t change that. We lacked movement and ideas when we had the ball, but as soon as we lost it, their lads were sharp, moved quick and had acres of space. Just glad a combination of them lacking a top striker and the woodwork saved the day for us.
we should go through, but the USA display should show our opponents what they have to do. It was startling that probably Maguire was the MOM for us, if we had to have one. My guess is we might get a laboured draw versus Wales, though I’m not sure even a narrow defeat would surprise me that much.
all that said, I still am behind Southgate, to my mind he deserves a crack at this, though I’m sure once we are out, that’ll be it.Bigrod likes this. -
