Fun second half. Fair result.

Southgate given extra time with this. Undeserved.
I am riverdancing around the garden.
There's no extra time, it finishes a draw
England are terrible and Germany are crap as well.
Neither team will be doing much in the World Cup.

I agree that Southgate isn't utilising our attacking players well enough. Even if he was, I would worry about our defence and midfield. I just don't think it compares to other elite teams.
Saka has been really good.
There’s zero chemistry between Kane, Sterling and Foden currently so that should be broken up. Bizarre that Southgate is still experimenting with his best side when he’s had the job for fecking years.
England showed they can be pretty destructive and self destructive at both ends. Should be a fun WC!

Now I have to wait for the game to over so I can see 4 goals. And the final whistle..
At least they are both there to enjoy it!
Neither of these teams will win it, entertaining last 15 mins though.
Rashford scores that saka chance btw 
I get your point but it's not like Uruguay or Chile are total pushovers.
Certainly not worse than Hungary, Denmark or Switzerland who Spain, France, Germany and England have all lost to.
Two absolute sh*t teams.
Germany have nothing to hope for the tournament.

I agree actually although Saka did well.
Harry Maguire has inspired yet another performance. What a man.
With a Shillelagh in hand as well I bet
Foden is so poor for England.
Where’s all your CFs these days?
You used to have class ones every major tournament but seems to be a real lack of them?
I can't argue with you there. But we should at least try to be a bit more attack orientated. And why hasn't he called up Sancho?
Didn’t we beat Germany last tournament we faced them? They’ve been nowhere near elite for a while.
What about Pope?
He was never going to get sacked before the WC.
To be fair haven't those 3 looked his favourites for a while? I expect most of this lineup is what we'll see with Pickford to come back in.
England's best chance of doing anything in the world Cup with Southgate would probably be Rashford on the left and Saka on the right, then Rice, Bellingham and Mount through the middle probably. Get Tomori next to Stones or White, Shaw and Reece James as fullbacks, and you actually have a side that is well suited to counter attacking. If TAA finds form again then maybe push Reece into midfield, but yeah. Go attack minded countering, not whatever the feck Southgate does. Southgate needs Rashford and Saka's pace more than Grealish/Foden/Sancho's abilities IMO.
We lack a great striker and we lack great fullbacks.
Our squad isn't top 5 in the world right now and arguably hasn't been since 2014.
Who the feck is going to win the World Cup?
What in the world, just looked at the score , switched off at HT because didn't want to fall asleep so early 
the Argies
Pope cost us that win.
I pretty much agree with all of that.
A South American team, no European team looks great right now though I haven't followed Spain lately.
Agree with you here. Play to your strengths. Set up to play quickly on the break at pace. England tore Germany apart in that spell where they were front foot and shifted it properly. It can only be Southgate and his approach.
Ahh no. Break glass in case of emergency only.
Saka is a really good player. Really intelligent decision making too
Solid by Pope that
Mount is overrated. The best 10 England player is Maddison on stats. I would play one of Foden or Grealish on one side and a pace player on the other. Or play Foden as the 10 with 2 pace players out wide.
Netherlands look excellent but injuries could derail them
It's criminal that they play so passively given the talent in the team.
In his best position?
