Totally agree, I find it a bit bizarre, TBH

I really enjoyed his years in charge. He installed a feelgood factor around supporting England and his overall record, particularly in major championships, was outstanding. Streets ahead of any England boss since 1966. I don't think they 'blew' anything.

What are your thoughts on Clarke? Sure, Scotland were dreadful at the Euros but he's done decent enough job with the resources he has. Get the feeling, though that like Southgate he's maybe gone as far as he can?

Clarke’s time is up. Southgate had the luxury of some of the finest talent in Europe available to him. But he was far too conservative and risk averse. His teams played with the hand-brake on - as many commentators have alluded to.
You may think his record in tournaments was good - but ultimately he failed. A better manager would have got so much more from the players he had at his disposal. Several huge missed opportunities.

Spain with the 90th minute winner, Portugal vs France should be a good game.

Was expecting a couple of goals in this game, still time though.

England 8pm on C4, they should win the whole thing again tbh.

So who's ready for the world club cup then? It has split opinions no doubt, i enjoy watching football so will be tuning in when i can and with my lack of sleep at the moment its something to watch.

Soccer aid at 19:30 is usually a good laugh.

Will be awake so why not.

This is so bad.

Keeper keeping inter Miami in the game, penalty saved.

I think it’s been a decent watch so far, but Miami are pretty crap.

Pen was very soft, is there no VAR?

Ref really should’ve sent off the Miami guy for a second yellow just before that.

Borefest is about all I can say. Might just bust out a bottle of wine to ease the pain.

That would have been some goal from Messi but again the keeper makes the save, then saves again with his head right at the end.

Just watching DAZN, jeez how amateur is the coverage in the studio.

Who the **** are this mob Bayern Munich are about to play. I thought it was Foley's team but apparently it's some part time amateur team instead

They probably will. Argentina vs The GloboGym Purple Cobras.

Sitting waiting for the game and realised it's the Aukland amateur side and not the BK team, this is going to be a rout.

1-0 Bayern

Coman 6

Not really watching it, but every time I look at the Slovenia England U21 match, the ball is near the England box. Which is nice.

Aye this one is a bit of a miss match, I had no idea this team are part timers.

Hopefully the world 11 can beat England later.

3-0 to Bayern after 19 minutes. A total no contest.

4-0.

4-0 Bayern, commentators trying to big up this game but it's a match that should never take place, this team are ranked around 4800.

Om last night/this morning's game I thought Townsend was a decent on the co-com, much better than Dixon and Joe hart.

This one could be double figures.

Bayern playing walking football now and Auckland still can’t get out of their own half.

How were the clubs selected for this competition? This a nonsense.
