He bloody well stopped twice with the first attempt, once to draw the keeper off the line and then again when that didn't work the first time. Effectively, he gets as many attempts as he wants because the keeper will always come forward at some point.
Pretty sure he was moving - slowly, but not fully stopped. It's toss & I did think he'd leather the second oppo.
I just caught up with the highlights and those penalties shouldn't be allowed.

He stopped both times and it looks ridiculous. They need to start enforcing this penalty taking rule better.

Only feinting once the run up is complete is prohibited.

Players can stop/pause/stutter during the run up and not be penalised.

Gallagher for Alexander-Arnold the only change? Absolutely dire from waist coat.

Nearly 20 mins gone and it's a turgid stuff.

What is Gallagher supposed to be doing that TAA can't?

Do wonder what Gordon and Palmer must be thinking. If neither of them get a run out tonight they'll probably not even get a game.

Can Slovenia get anything out of this game or is this what would have in the dim distant past be referred to as a dead rubber?

england v slovenia 0-0

I listened to nearly everything gary neville said.. I think england were a bit better than the last game.. I think he's more optimistic about it, than I am.
Hate to say it, but it looks like the germans are the best team at the moment.
At least we avoided the horror draw on the other side.

How is it decided which group winner has to play a second place finisher instead of a thrid place finisher? Obviously there are 6 winners and only 4 3rd places so two teams will have to but whats the metric for it?

Ie Germany having to play second place Denmark.

It wasn't easy.

Got to say that Austria and Switzerland have been my two surprising teams of the tournament.

Germany are playing Denmark in next round.

Switzerland came second to Germany in the their group?
