It's on in the background here...

Since when was it an idea to NOT have someone stood on the penalty spot when crosses are flying around?

And still no Anthony Gordon...

I'm guessing 87th minute.

Less than 2 mins out.

Edit. Lined up at 85 mins. Actually came on at 89.

remember pundits, nothing negative or nasty as harry and ricey will get all upset again about you not saying all the positive things about the match

They'll need to be careful waking up Keane he might be grumpy

[Skyedriver]

As an English person living in Scotland and therefore following both teams, I preferred watching Scotland, at least no one expected them to go far
This lot couldn't score in a brothel.

Reported! You’re not allowed to say that.

You have to say “ Janza is a massive tart aren’t they“

We're just lulling the good teams into false sense of security.

All part of the Southgate master plan.

[mcelliott]

Slow boring and predictable, where's the invention and pace, fkin dross.

[essayer]

ffs nobody in the middle - would have banged that straight in

[ferrisbueller]

When the highlight is the ball hitting a defender's arse.

Never seen anything like it.

[Mannginger]

Foden?! Not Bellingham? And for 1 minute. Genius

[Radec]

Fodens highlight, a shot that was blocked by the defender lol

[Hoofy]

So... do you reckon we're taking home the cup this year?

[rjfp1962]

4 minutes to go!

[732NM]

89 minute Sub. Genius.

[OMITN]

My positive mental attitude has now evaporated.

I’m with the rest of you. I left work early to get home for the kick off. And I’ve been bored for the last two hours.

[MrBogSmith]

I’m hoping it’s similar to boxing where “styles make fights”, where we’re not anywhere near our best against negative, defensive teams and when we play teams who are more open it’ll come together.

Hope!

Sky have taken sympathy with me

During this dire borefest, it's allowed some random thoughts to intrude: You know there have been instances where an outfield player has to go in goal due to an injury/sending off and all subs used etc?

Has there even been an instance of a goalkeeper subbed on for an outfield player? I was thinking we could throw Ramsdale on to spark things up a bit up front!

I'm not aware of it in international football, but David James was brought on as a striker for Manchester City by Stuart Pearce in a Premier League fixture https://www.mancity.com/citytv/city-plus/david-jam...

[Mannginger]

What a pass from Gordon!

[Carl_VivaEspana]

Rashford is looking at Gordon coming on with almost no time left and and saying to the TV 'yup, he did the same to me'
