it ricocheted its way to Kane of a German leg/foot, so not offside, i'm not convinced he was going to make contact with the ball though had he not been impeded, he seemed grateful for the contact!!
most impressive dive was from the german Schlotterbeck who went down like he'd been shot when ever so slightly nudged by Maguire

FIFA world rankings are an absolute joke. Belgium were top for ages, despite having won absolutely nothing. They're still second. Behind Brazil, who have been poor for some time.

Luckily we have got the lower ranked Euros champions on saturday
Indeed and have been "North Macedonia-ed" unlikely to improve their ranking anytime soon. They don't get the luxury of beating Panama and Haiti a couple of times and see their ranking soar....
Well another dazzling performance at Wolves tonight.Why does Southgate bother with a centre forward when his team can't create chances for him.Poor Tammy scoring goals for fun for Jose in Italy,so tonight he gets Sterling and headband footballer,playing wide trying to dribble the ball in through a packed Italian defence,for Pete's sake whip a quick ball in from wide.Midfield like a fart in a lift.Why so many defensive players,Mount and Ward Prowse just like Cleverley of old.Tried but found wanting,World Cup forget it.

I think you are being hard on the players under the circumstances. I bet they would all sooner be elsewhere . . . on the beach ?
After a long season they are expected by some (most) to be highly motivated and at the top of their game. No one (in any sport) can perform at their absolute best every time.Give them a break (pun intended).

I think Clarke needs to toughen up a bit and stop relying on certain players and start using the Nations League as an opportunity to try new players. His loyalty worked at Killie, but there is such a massive difference between league and international football, which the last few games have exposed a bit.

Agreed, although to be fair to him, he really hasn't got the biggest pool to mess around with.
We did have a few half chances at the start of the game, and I'm a great fan of the attack being the best form of defence.
Especially when you have a defensive line like ours.

And a crazy long season coming up, with the World Cup slap bang in the middle. Apparently someone like de Bruyne could play 70 games next season, with just a 3 week break before

Yep, we really don't have much.
Hanley can get into the sea for a start. And he's a player I used to like a lot.

For me this is the problem with today's football. World Cup, Euros, Nations Cup along with every other possible extension of all the domestic and European competitions. What is the Nations Cup? I know it exists but for the life of me I can't see a purpose to this competition.
When will the game's administrators learn less really is more?
