To be honest a lot of football now a days is boring, there has been so much tinkering with the rules & taking the tackle out of football you end up with a boring sanitised version of the game, but then I'm a mature person looking back at football from yester year.

Well after the first 15 mins. that was pretty boring, like a lot of games these days.

That was my thought too.

Like watching paint dry so far.

BBC commentary team trying their best to talk up, what has been, a bang average first half. Incredible that England have left Grealish sitting on the bench. I hope they do the same on Friday night.

Frank Lampard is a complete tit.

That's why I can't see Scotland getting anything against them. We don't have the players to dictate the game and take it too them.

France and Belgium do have that ability and will likely beat England if they play them IMO.

I think the opposite I think you sit in and break on them. Got to be defensively organised and strong but also offer a threat. Don't think you want to push up and leave space behind.

I’ve always thought he comes over quite well, by all accounts a decent bloke behind the scenes as well.

I've been surprised how poor the atmosphere is. It was better at the FA Cup Final.

I don't think Scotland have any other option than to play defensively. I just can't see us having enough of the ball to actually create much though.

20,000 very quiiet fans in Wembley.

This ref is dodgy. That’s never a booking, great tackle by Kovacic, that’s now two key Croatia players on a yellow. England getting everything

Croatia look like they're trying to pull the old Muhammed Ali trick and letting England punch themselves out.

66 all over again.

We have nothing to fear in this group.

I think the commentators mentioned England more in the other games than this one. 🤣

That's a great goal tbf.

1-0 England

****sake

Rank defending there

That’s a lethal finish by England to be fair.

That was well worked.

Twats

Well taken goal.

Well worked & well taken goal.

I have to admit I’d never heard of Kalvin Phillips before, but he’s pretty impressive.

Croatia have offered nothing going forward. Certainly not the side that reached the World Cup final three years ago.

Been great for Leeds.

Croatia look a team well past their best. No pace at all and not tracking runners.

Challeta-Star?

Is Jermaine Jenas for real?
