England score and theres no one left to see it!

[DelTrotter]

Weird commentary, acting like the euros have just been won 

Another dreadful result for England.

[smicer07]

A thoroughly undeserved draw for England.

[Wghennessy]

Good finish by Mainoo tbf

[KevLFC]

Bellingham just saved Southgates arse. Swear he's the luckiest manager in the world.

People in the pub cheered the equaliser. I can only suspect they had money on the draw.

Probably had Mainoo as next goalscorer

A superb first start by Kobbie Mainoo for
@England
. He’s not only played himself into the squad for the Euros but quite possibly the starting lineup. Well played young man. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Sounds like he had an incredible game.

Shame I had to miss it, as i'd rather stick pins in my eyes than watch England in a friendly (or any game for that matter under Southgate).

Ukraine 2 - 1 Iceland; full-time. Ukraine qualify for Euro 2024.

Wales 0 - 0 Poland; extra-time it is...

[disgraced cake]

They've got no more a chance of winning it than some of the currently underwhelming nations like Germany IMO. France look a good shout and so do Portugal. Can see England shitting themselves as soon as it gets to the knockouts.

Blimey. Just put £5k on him to win the Ballon D'Or this year.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Not seen a player break onto the scene like Mainoo since Billy Gilmour.

Remember watching an England vs Kosovo game in a boozer called The Shakespeare while on holiday in Malaga a few years ago. Full of England fans - not Scousers. We cheered for Kosovo thinking they had no chance, but it ended up being a really weird game, England won 5-3 and Kane missed a penalty. We had to pretend we had a bet on.

[The North Bank]

Gaz punching the air there, love the passion, just what you want to see from the next man utd manager.

[Fromola]

Already talk of him making a Rooney-esque impact from Euro 2004, or an Owen against Argentina.

The hype just got real. Is it worth taking a team back to Old Trafford next week?

[Tobelius]

Austria 5-1 up against Turkey with mere minutes to go. I think we now know who'll win Euro 2024. Has to be Austria. We're in a group with the Netherlands, France and Poland/Wales. Germany look like they'll beat the Netherlands today. They have already beaten France on Saturday. Turkey have won against Germany when they played them in November. To me that suggests, Austria will beat whatever opponent they're playing at the Euros. Don't think anyone can argue with that kind of reasoning...

  Austria stronk

You'd be mad not to double up with the Nobel Peace Prize. Pretty much guaranteed free money

Well done Conor Bradley. Good result for Norn Iron.

Hope Robbo is ok though.

They do but they will bottle it. As most say on here Southgate just doesn't have what it takes, even if England do win it it won't be because of Southgate. Klopp or Guardiola in charge if this England team would win a Euros or World Cup no problem.

[Redley]

Gaz punching the air there, love the passion, just what you want to see from the next man utd manager.

You jest, but imagine agreeing to take over a managers job and then they tell you ‘oh by the way, we’ve also gone back to 1996 and bought back Clarence Seedorf for you. You’re welcome  ‘. The guy must be on cloud 9

[Fromola]

They do but they will bottle it. As most say on here Southgate just doesn't have what it takes, even if England do win it it won't be because of Southgate and yet he will be compared with the greats and he is nowhere near if they do win it. Klopp or Guardiola in charge if this England team would win a Euros or World Cup no problem.

Southgate shit himself against Croatia and Italy in the World Cup semi and Euros final, when England went 1-0 up, and got there courtesy of very fortunate draws and favourable schedules. He's certainly got some spawn in him. Last World Cup as soon as they came up against a decent team in France they lost. But that game was there for the taking and he didn't make the right changes when the game was there to be won.

England have just got much better players than most. Bellingham, Rice, Foden, Trent, Kane, Saka are all elite level players - I don't think any other national side can match that. Not to mention the imperious Mainoo of course. Can Southgate really fuck it up a 4th time?

[smicer07]

Shame I had to miss it, as i'd rather stick pins in my eyes than watch England in a friendly (or any game for that matter under Southgate).

He didn't really. Pretty average.

[disgraced cake]

You do get the impression Mainoo will be the key man this summer. If Southgate can build the side around him I suspect they will end 60 some years of hurt, but I wouldn't bloody bank on it.

You know an awful lot about a team you don't watch.

He will stick with Henderson.

[Father Ted]

Southgate nearly gave it the full 'Moyes v Fulham at Old Trafford' at the end there.

[Coolie High]

Mainoo is overhyped but how anyone can argue he doesn’t have a lot of quality is beyond me, he is 18 and makes the likes of Gallagher look like league 1 players in comparison when comparing their technical ability.

He needs to work on his tactical side of the game, if he does and keeps on progressing he should be a top player. Won’t matter much to United with the current problems they have bough, we had many a better talent pop through in the 90’s and didn’t win much while they were winning it all.

[Coolie High]

He will stick with Henderson.

Jones should be starting but I can almost understand while he’d  be against starting an 18 year old in the biggest games against the best teams.

Jones is key to this England side its a shame he always gets injured just about when he’s looking like earning a call up, maybe he should just play for Nigeria.

[Fromola]

You know an awful lot about a team you don't watch.

I watch the Euros and the World Cup, although don't bother watching England against minnows in the group or whatever.

[thaddeus]

I see Maddison came on and assisted the equaliser so presumably Southgate briefly abandoned having two holding midfielders.  You'd think with all the potential options Southgate's got to play as the pair of #8s that he'd just go for it but I think he's wedded to grinding out results.

Wales are clinging on against Poland.

Poland have been shite, and so have Wales, Paige's tactics the most shite thing though

[Fromola]

This Wales game has been absolute dross. Can't see Wales winning the shootout. Szczesny was always a bit of a penalty specialist. Wales have Danny Ward.

Wales clueless going forward on the big stage without Bale.

[fowlermagic]

England have talent in midfield n up front but as i said most of their defence could be lining up for a bottom six team. They will get found out when they play the better teams out there.

[thaddeus]

I've only watched the last 10 minutes but Wales have barely stepped out their penalty area.  It's looking like penalties if anyone wants to watch a bit of drama.

It's on S4C or I'm sure Jason has posted links in this thread somewhere.

Edit: Mepham won't be taking one as he's just been very harshly sent off.
