England vs Croatia Nations League

[Bigbee]

I assume by the lack of a thread already no one is very excited about tonight !

 

[Chomp]

Well done to ‘Arry Kane for surpassing Peter Shilton’s record!

 

[TW1Bee]

What game is this ? No doubt there will be 80k making their way for a once in a lifetime visit to Wembley.

Nations League. Another one away(?) v. Spain in the next few days.

Avoid Wembley tonight, though.

I'm going to the game. Another 7-0 will do nicely.

The game is sold out barring, apparently, about 8 seats. No doubt indeed.

 

[Gazza Bee]

Just need to avoid an 8 nil loss.....

 

[nick logan]

Looking forward to it , like every football match with a team I support in . No doubt there will be a lot of “ look at me I DONT CARE “

I am playing 5 a side tonight, might catch the last 20 in the pub. Not that bothered in these, they are friendlies, I will always watch if they are on but not changing my plans for them. I must admit I didn't realise the last one was on, the one in between Spain and Croatia, I was making my dinner and the wife was channel hopping and said, oh, England are on. I went, oh yeah, came in and watched it. I had been sat on a train bored for an hour doom scrolling when I could have been watching it.

 

[nick logan]

They are not friendlies

 

[Guildford Bee]

I'm going. Looking forward to seeing Harry Kane make history.

 

[TW3Bee]

Decent start from Croatia.

 

[JANORAK]

Rogers!

 

[TW3Bee]

The Croatian keeper just waved at the ball as it went passed him.

 

[Mick.C]

We have a good chance of being in the mix come June to have some fun in Madrid.
March home and away for the quarters after this batch of games then on to finals week.
Lots don’t take it seriously but England are good enough to win this tournament and take some European scalps whilst doing so.
Will look to get a ticket for the quarters - that should be a proper atmosphere and then good training for the Euros at home the year after.

 

[JANORAK]

The Croatian keeper just waved at the ball as it went passed him.

I didn’t put any details as it’ll go down as one of those ‘they all count’ goals!

 

[LongLostBee]

That’s a penalty if it’s a Brentford player defending

 

[A Real Mysteron]

I gave the free tickets I get given for these games to my daughter and her boyfriend tonight.
Kind of wish I hadn’t as seeing Kane set the record would been a thing, but it’s such a poor overall experience.

 

[TW3Bee]

Declan Rice has no speed at all.
That was a decent opportunity for England, but Rice has no wheels and the chance has gone.

 

[Chomp]

Major brain fart from Quansah there.

 

[Chomp]

Surely that’s a penalty kick!

 

[TW3Bee]

If that's Brentford in Croatian shirts that's a penalty.

 

[TW3Bee]

Surely that’s a penalty kick!

Indeed it is.

 

[A Real Mysteron]

He’s Lewis-Potterered him there.

 

[TW3Bee]

After all the stuff surrounding Kane before the game he's going to miss this

 

[JANORAK]

Major brain fart from Quansah there.

I was just thinking Quansah was doing ok in his natural position (for a change).

Penalty England….Kane! 2-1.

 

[Pixelator]

David Seaman would've saved that with his foot.

 

[TW3Bee]

David Seaman would've saved that with his foot.

Keeper probably got closer to that, with his foot, than he did with the first goal, with his hand.

 

[Chomp]

David Seaman would've saved that with his foot.

Before then getting lobbed with a cross come shot!

 

[badgerbee]

If that's Brentford in England shirts that's no penalty.

Corrected for you.....

 

[badgerbee]

We look shocking at the back.
Again.

 

[TW3Bee]

Defence hasn't got any better, has it?

 

[A Real Mysteron]

Shirt pulling on the Croatia player there.

 

[Chomp]

Perfectly poised for España (a) on Sunday, then.

It goes without saying that the defence will have to improve.

¡Vamos!

Closer than it needed to be. Both full backs pretty ropey in defence. TAA let the goal scorer go, before Quansah passed to him in the 6 yard box!

 

[Rob-BEE]

Corrected for you.....

Yep we never get penalties do we. Apart from last season when we got the most in the entire PL.

Shoul've had more.....
And this season.

 

[mhead bee]

Lets see what happens on Sunday away to Spain before we see if we are good enough. No doubt England are now at the International top table, but Spain are formidable and we still need to find a way to beat the cheating inferior talented sides like Argentina.

 

[nick logan]

We had 3 clean sheets on the trot before an error from a full back playing out of position last night

 

[Streetboy]

Enjoyable game with England playing some nice stuff at times. Was always going to be as strange one as Croatia were going to be determined not to be hammered again, or put their foot in and make a bit of a point, but though we coped pretty well. Can't afford to give Spain any gifts like their goal though.

 

[Wouldbee]

I have to say I'm a bit perplexed at that Liverpool Rio lad getting game time. I get he's fast and exciting and that. But I think he looks out of his depth. Its England. Not work experience.
