Poor Alli, desperately trying to do something right.

Trying way too hard. Let it come naturally.

Similar players, mazy runs with rotten decision making at the end.

Same old same old, it won't happen, the majority of the Under 20 world cup winning squad will never play regularly in the Premier League let alone any future England team.


Until Premier League teams invest in English talent and not spend tens of millions on a generic foreigner that no supporter has heard of, England won't be making an impact in major tournaments.

If they are good enough they'll come through. Kane, Alli, Rashford etc all came through in recent years after performing in the PL. Still been average for England.



Some Premier League clubs are better than developing and fielding England players than others. For example I find it grating for Jose Mourinho to not allow Rashford to play for England U21s this summer, players need to learn on how to play pressure cooker knockout football.

I would like to see a portion of Premier League money distributed based on fielding domestic players, similar to how the ECB pay counties to develop players for the national team. Try and keep some Premier League money circulating in the English game, rather than being siphioned off outside.

The team has slowly gone down hill over the last few years. A loss of talent and depth. They really need a new generation to come through.

Have finally scored after hitting the post 3 times. But with an aging Cahil, australia really are toothless up front.

I would say only Aaron Mooy is a good player in this team at present.

Is anybody watching this rubbish?

The darts is proving a bigger draw for me TBH.

England will never change, they will always play dreadful football with dull, non technical players and a manager with no charisma and no reputation.
