The two commentators are very impartial to be fair.

Don't expect any different, they're all in the England will take over the world mentality

 

[Birchgrovejack]

You'd think itv would make it a little impartial wouldn't you

The only way to cope with Sam Matterface commentating is to mute him

2nd goal looked offside to me.

I agree, Guehi touches that cross and Watkins is way offside.

I’m up for that.

After the first 2 goals, we seemed to settle down a bit better but that 3rd one was a real Saka punch.

I'll get my coat.

 

[Muteswan]

No names on shirts for the second half

 

[PenlanJack]

To say everyone is having a shocker is being kind, roll on Monday

 

[Muteswan]

A decent attack at last

 

[Jack2jack]

Dragons Den finished now. The Welsh bloke took a pasting on there too.

 

[Muteswan]

Subs with Belgium in mind

Fortunately I chose to go to the gym

 

[Cinio Dydd Sul]

Awful first 2 goals to concede which killed the game.

I hope we never play England in friendlies again but people have to realise that friendlies are now mandatory when you don't have qualifiers. So if you look at other European teams without a competitive game tonight, the pickings are very slim.

Romania v Moldova suits both as its a short trip, Poland are home to New Zealand and the other friendlies are further afield across the world. Not sure there was any other choice but play England unfortunately unless we're going to pay out to attract someone from outside of Europe to come over, but they also have qualifiers.

 

[Andrew - North Hill]

Absolute waste of 2 hours, let's be honest. We had our eyes on Monday, they are more bothered about Tuesday and they took their foot off the gas second half.

I hope Bellamy has now realised that you can't play Moore or Cullen against elite opposition, you're effectively playing with 9 men. They're both way out of their depth against top sides.
