And Iran only played 3 games 😁😁 I’m pretty sure that stat is a “per match” thing That would make more sense.

I’m pretty sure that stat is a “per match” thing That would make more sense. 0.9 shots on target per 90mins before this game.

It's not difficult to fathom why, when you've got Sterling in the front 2. He is so poor in the final third. Such a poor footballer. His touch, his vision, his passing- all non existent. His only positive is pace. His main attribute is the ability to run really fast. He's not a footballer in a million years. ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/wMWjB17JNiCK5pUPtfmL.gif) Thankfully he's been pulled at half time.

England remind me so much of us last season. To much pointless passing without achieving a hell of a lot. We'd have the ball on the edge of there area and it'd end up with our keeper in 10 seconds.
It's been a great world cup and there's elements of our team (guts, workrate etc) that have been admirable but can you imagine how we'd do with a playmaker in the side. Our midfield has cost us going further. Simply not creative enough.
If we get a couple of playmakers before the next world cup (not Wilshire) we really could be flying.

Shame that Southgate hasn't given Butland a run out....it's hardly an important match, feels more like a friendly, I mean....who gives a fuck whether we finish 3rd or 4th??? I do. Sorry Joe!!! 😔

I've said for ages if there was a world cup for sideways and backward passing we'd win it every time. So much better when we play like a club side instead of international football bollocks

Bit like watching Stoke last season was that. What, Like going 1-0 up, not putting the opposition to the sword & then capitulating at the back. Yeah, you’re right 😶 You've lost me mate, go and bother someone else; they might be on your wavelength if you're lucky.

An aside:
Well done to those fans showing the Stoke flag at the match behind the Belgian goal. You make me feel proud.

..... positives from this tournament - Trippier, Maguire & Pickford. Young squad picked by Southgate. Generally positive substitutions. Er, that’s about it

The amount if times I’ve shouted “Just shoot!” at England during this tournament is ridiculous. They’re trying to walk it in and waiting for the perfect opening before thinking about pulling the trigger.
Ah bollocks 2-0

The main difference is that they quickly pass the ball forward and we slowly pass the ball sideways or backwards.

That's it now. Dier should not get in another England squad.
