Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Nervousness on show for all to see out there. Done very well to get in this position and hopefully the boys see the job through. Spain very good at killing any potential break away this second half.

How’s it been watching? The scoreboard suggests differently. Just goes to show that sometimes it pays to actually watch a match rather than base an opinion on completely meaningless stats.

alexxxxx Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Tbh we weren't that great in the second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamRam Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Excellent performance by England, won the game on the first half that allowed them to manage the win in the second half. VAR would have given us a penalty at 3-0 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Disappointed they got that 2nd, will enable twits to argue that if that penalty had been given they'd have drawn and it would have been deserved. We stopped playing 2nd half, didn't want to embarass them any more I guess. Aspas and their right winger who pretended Chilwell elbowed him when he realised he couldn't get close enough to bring him down did that all by themselves. Impressed by Joe Gomez for the first time. Had him down as a right back with bad positioning before tonight, but dealt well with the barrage in the 2nd half. Don't like the format of Nations League and don't like that it wasn't on TV but I did like a competitive international in a hostile venue. Love that they had a million shots and 97% possession and still lost. Mourinho spesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Haven't heard what the rules are. The indication from the TV commentary early doors was that the key factor in the competition is head-tio-head results before goal difference. Unless away goals count extra, that means conceding with the last touch makes this a typical glorious failure as Spain will qualify after their demolition of Croatia. We are the nearly men of world football. Yes it was good to win, and an enjoyable game, but in the ruthless world of professional sport Ramos with a diving header showed the qualities needed to win trophies.

That goal at the end makes no difference, we are still ahead on head to head, unfortunately our failure to beat Croatia means that we are on less points than Spain.

TimRam Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 England - Great breakaway goals, did well to hold off Spain although 2nd half was painful to watch and rode our luck at times. Really pleased for Rashford and Stirling after the previous few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my understanding, don’t mean I’m right though ? Those who say we were lucky though, Spain have not lost in 38 games, and have never conceded 3 before at home in a competitive game before.

Bris Vegas Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I couldn’t watch the game, I was working. Probably wouldn’t have watched it anyway. A Spain side largely featuring squad players against an England side painfully low on technical quality in a meaningless game. Roll on club football. Proper football.

Ghost of Clough Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 @Carl Sagan “the overall ranking will be calculated based on position in the group then points, goal difference, goals scored, away goals scored, wins, away wins, disciplinary points, coefficient ranking.” Basically, Croatia must beat Spain, and we must beat Croatia for us to top the group.
