Forgot about the red card as well. There was another 3 goals for us there if the officials didn't go soft.
He really didn’t - World Cup groups then generally had one at best weak team in it - there are now far more games and far more against utter dross like them - sorry that’s bollocks
You can only play what's in front of you

3 and 4 against Northern Ireland, 4 against Norway, 3 against Peru, 3 against Scotland. He had an exceptional record but to say he didn’t play against very easy teams is not right. Either way both strikers can’t be criticised for scoring regardless of who it’s against. Plenty of the top forwards now and in the past have “stat padded” against poorer opponents.
What was the atmosphere like out there CJ?
From what I could see/clips on social media etc seemed a bit flat both before and during the game.

Southgate is going to run with 3-4-3 for 2022 and frankly, I like it. It gives us a lot of balance and with the depth in wing backs we have, it can be a good attacking tool for us.
We picked the ‘perfect’ game for Hungary with plenty of attacking talent and being at the game, it was a shame it didn’t work. We looked far more positive and attacking against Albania with what looked to be a more cautious approach from Southgate.
Semi-finals minimum expectation for the World Cup. Like Rot Keane said, we need to believe we can win it because we actually have the quality to go all the way.
Portugal and Italy have missed out on automatic qualification. As much as I rated Mancini at the Euros, the wheels appear to have fallen off Italy at this moment.

Croatia, Colombia, Poland and Ukraine too. Also don’t forget his best performance in an England shirt was in Seville when he didn’t score. Despite his goal scoring record his hold up and link up play is the best part of his game.
In the stadium it was rubbish. Same as last time there. Was good in the bars in Rimini.
Agree with that. When we play with two holding, more often than not when the ball gets cleared out of the opponent’s box one of them picks it up and we can build again. When we have only one there it becomes more difficult for that to happen.
Canada about to play Mexico in -10 degree weather (feels like -14):
Surprising bit of competency choosing Edmonton (where it’s very cold) for November home games against Costa Rica and Mexico.
Look out for the reds in Qatar

A few times, I liked the emblems of countries you’d watched us in, nice touch.
