England will be glad to get the win, but Serbia deserved a share of the points
England don't look like favourites based on this, a good performance but a draw would have been a fair result.
It's mental isn't it 😅. Such soft refereeing conned time and time again.Quote:

Should have been 1-1. Ref helped them big time to sprinkle glitter on the dog poo.
Yep I remember how it was always these foreigners who did all the diving now Engerlund are the experts.Quote:

That Serbia teams ranked something like 33rd in the world , if they play like that against France , spain etc they will get beat .
Would love us to play as crap as them and still get a win.
Argentina won the world cup after losing the first game against Saudi Arabia.
You can't right off England after one game (that they actually won).
Yeah you can, they are pish 🤣Quote:

Good point. We're still on to win this thing.Quote:

They're still very much one of the favourites.
They are clearly but not impressiveQuote:

They're contenders, without a doubt.
Foden never kicks a ball for England. They won job done and clearly can win it but not hugely impressiveQuote:

First 20 minutes or so they were though far from impressive after that IMO .Quote:

Foden was poor , wonder will Southgate make a change there next game ? . Anthony Gordon wouldn't be a bad choice btw .
Certainly contenders with the quality of players they have though performance wise they will have to raise their game considerably if they are going to win it .
Without Jude and Jordan they'd be snookered.
England started well but only had 1 shot on goal in 1st half.
Once Serbia settled they looked like they could equalise.
Foden is a quality player but don’t think the way England play him does him any favours.
What’s obvious is that if England want to win the tournament they will have to defend better. Going forward they have goals in them but at the back even last night a better team would have scored against them. I don’t rate Pickford and feel he has a mistake in him.
If I looked at the draw correctly England should get to at least the QF then could easily play Italy - beat them and semis maybe France or Spain.
The Euros don’t have the same pressure (due to less teams) as a World Cup so they could easily win the whole thing but it wouldn’t eclipse 1966 until a World Cup is won.
Fine strike for Romania, Stanciu 1-0.
