From Rhys Jaggar:
37% possession.
19 shots, 6 on target, 3 goals.
Vardy’s finish reminded me of del Piero in the 1997 Champions League final. Pure quality.
Time will tell if the Germans had 3 more gears.
But England created chances from start to finish, even if they only scored in the final third of the game.
Barkley came on and played like a disciplined team player.
England may have to have the attitude of ‘you score two, we score three’. But they could still play two stoppers in front of the back 4 if they really need solidity.
Those starting against Holland know that a standard has been set. If they aren’t up to it, they may spend the summer on the beach…..
Myles says:
Rooney would go pink on the beach.
And his freckles would peel off.
My brother thinks the FA should make Euro 2016 like the Ryder Cup.
Take Rooney as their non-playing captain.
PS The German machine, so slackadaisical on Saturday, does have more gears than the English one.
