Why not direct free kick there? Obviously England players are too close.

England so lucky. Perhaps if not so early in the match the ref may have viewed the foul differently. That was certainly a goal-scoring chance denied.
How did so many wankers get tickets?
Why did the the Germans shift that free kick? Just hit the thing
It literally cost us the World Cup semi final. You don’t empty out your central midfield against teams like Croatia and Germany.
Well there's no point in rushing into decisions is there?
If 2-0 down and 5 mins to go, he WILL consider a sub (probably a defender for a defender)
Graham Taylor?
Clear red. Cheating feckers
It is so stupid not trying to outnumber them in midfield. At least, Mount should be on.
Die Mannschaft very strong so far!!
Set up like plucky non-league side in the FA Cup.
I hate that England starting XI, just awful negative shite. Just give the Germans the impetus to have the ball and play.
His isolation was probably a factor but surely someone could've done that job. It's a back 5 for us at the minute.
Call me mad, but what the hell is Rice lucky about? That wasn't even remotely a red.... this game has gone soft as hell if we are calling for that.
always hate when teams do that.
He’s a tit! Believing in jinx’s while commentatingJenas
no midfield and rice on a yellow already, fun times
Shocking lineup leads to shocking start.
People surprised (1):
Gareth Southgate

Someone sedate Jenas please.
He'd be better playing 451 and Rice or KP drift to wherever needed.
I suspect that Southgate is German. He messed up in a spectacular way against them as a player and now as a manager. Either that or he is a moron
England have no idea what they are doing defensively
Another 4 yr contract for Southgate, yeah?
fecking shocking stuff from Southgate once again.
Pathetic tactics
Just straight up sitting back, inviting pressure.

Also think Rice was lucky that was a yellow... Only reason Walker caught up was because he was pulling Goretzka back
Pilau?
England are going to have to be really good on the counter.
Already sick of Jenas
Caught a man through on goal with a clear foul, perhaps? Very lucky man.
not really.
Walker? was excactly next to him.
And Goretzka made everything to get the foul (watch what he did with his right leg).
Stop booing them. At least they will stop at 2-0. 
What is the percentage of non-wanker English fans?
So we have lined up like for like when they have better players upfront and on the wings... Makes no sense.
Our best progressive players are sat on the bench. Absolute joke!

What an extraordinarly set-up at home. England better work themselvese back into the game quick.
Prediction: Neuer almost kills Sterling on a counter and gets a red.
England need to find a way into this game quick or they might find themselves behind.
What do we expect when we have 7 defensive players and only 3 attacking players. We’re bound to park the bus and watch their world class players run riot.
go hard or go home. Put the top attacking players we have on and take a risk.

Goretzka through on goal with Rice hanging off his back pulling him. That was a goal scoring opportunity to me.
0 midfield or attacking threat, well done Southgate
