At least he celebrated
Nations League 24/25 | November Internationals (Matchday 5-6)

- Start date
Heading for at least a 5-0 result should Ireland continue to defend this poorly.
Southgate would have had everyone behind the ball at 1-0
First name Willy. His parents must've really despised him.
Really great start from England, could be 4 up. I don't know if it's the level of opposition but it's been much better than what Gareth was serving up.
It's an interesting how often we have gotten Gordon on the ball in dangerous positions, I think their could be a way back for Rashford if this is the way they're gonna play.

I’m not a fan of Colwill at LB. He’s 10x better at CB. His passing is always quality though.
Gareth never got to manage on the second tier of the Nations League.
He still played weaker countries than Ireland and it was still insomnia curing.
Mainoo very effective in midfield. Some excellent passing.
We’ve played worse teams than Ireland tbh and the football has been awful in some of those games. This is nice and refreshing how watch them carve apart of a parked bus.
His short distance passing and link up play is honestly top tier stuff. Has some things to learn and develop in other areas but the crisp and silky short passing comes so natural to him.
Nice start but (without being unnecessarily doom and gloom) we usually seem to breeze through these no-mark comps and then shit ourselves when things get real.
Kane is so slow he looks like he could use an actual cane.
Clear pen, no? I know it broke to Gordon, but on it's own merit, that tackle was a pen
Think he'd look brilliant in a team with quick incisive passers.
You literally got relegated in this comp the last time...
Carsley will play better football than Gareth.
Time for Kane to be replaced though I think.

I always thought you were Irish? Ye prick.
I’ve noticed that Carsley is utilizing him as the deepest midfielder, often tasked with receiving the ball from the back line and initiating play, while Rice operates in a more advanced role.
So far, he’s completed the most passes in the game (48). At United, this is typically Casemiro’s responsibility, but he simply doesn’t have the quality to fulfill that role effectively.
With?
How has Coleman avoided a yellow so far?
Literally anyone else.
Did we?! I really didn't pay attention, clearly! We do have a habit of flattering to deceive via friendlies and qualification though.
The Irish really have a chip on their shoulder about Grealish
Did he just call him "Andy Gordon"?
I am. I descend from the O'choker clan.I always thought you were Irish? Ye prick.
That includes me. I have an English nana…
Yes that is only Ireland but this is a really good start for Carsley.
The combo Southgate + Carsley would have been interesting at the Euros.

We've been good but Ireland are making it stupidly easy for us.
Kane looks an odd fit in such a fluid fast team.
It’s definitly a more attacking line up with out and out wingers and Grealish behind. Full backs getting forward as well.
Are they going to eat it?The Irish really have a chip on their shoulder
Southgate must be fuming at this attacking football.
Mainoo gets a yellow on 12 minutes and yet 2 Irish rugby tackles get nothing since
Just don't ask where @horsechoker was in 1983I always thought you were Irish? Ye prick.
He’s 31 so pretty expected. Watkins or Solanke should be his successor.
Watching Harry Kane trying to out manoeuvre Seamus Coleman in 2024 feels like something you should only be allowed to witness at Soccer Aid match
The last 18 months to 2 years in particular under Southgate the football was especially grim.
This has been miles better to watch.

He deserved his booking, but baffling how some of these other challenges haven’t been punished.
