Decent result that, Kane got that pressure off his back too. Less said about the management and football 2nd half the better

I really feel for the England players that finished the game.

Imagine putting all that effort in, running till you drop, then when you get into the changing room afterwards, you find that Luke Shaw has eaten all the post match food laid on for the team.

We beat them 1-0 in Rome in 97
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Competitively though? We've won away to them in a friendly I remember defoe scoring

North Macedonia showing up as our big rivals for the group.

Southgate is literally the definition of a crap manager

Is it insensitive to say I hope we steamroller ukraine next

Our players don't listen to Conte when he tells them to defend.

Yeah was a WC 98 qualifier

How much longer have we got to put up with Southgate. That game is a microcosm of Southgate, play a bit of decent football for a bit and then just defend for your lives and just hope to hold on. How is Phillips playing the full 90, he hasn't kicked a ball for City pretty much all season. Then you've got Maguire again at fault for another goal but gets picked every time, it's just mad.

Sorry I just check

Yeah it was

He wont get sacked until we either fail to get out of the groups, or have some really embarrassing crap result, like Iceland, or that 0-0 with Algeria in 2010

Yay.
First win there since ‘61. New All time scorer.
Woohoo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Second time we've ever beaten them in a competitive game since 1933.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No way ?!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Had a look at the stats yesterday.

Prior to today, we'd played them 30 times since 1933.

Won 8, drawn 9, and lost 13.

Majority of those wins and draws came in a series of Friendly games between 1933 and 1961.

First competitive win against them was a World Cup qualifier in 1977. But we've also beaten them in a couple of friendlies since. In 1997 and in 2012.
