I've never understood why ITVs sport coverage is generally so poor.
Because, as with all their programmes, ITV's base line for their target audience is brain dead. Subsequently the quality level is poor because the target audience are easily pleased.

Missed a chance. Good tackle though

I think denied a chance by a good tackle sums it up better. If the defender doesn't get the touch to play it on to Ollie, Ollie is at least testing the keeper and, from there, probably finding the back of the net.

Completely agree this is not going to be an easy game in which for any England player to impress Brazil playing well not taking any prisoners and looking dangerous on the break. Ollie has been running the channels well but has only had that one chance to speak of so far.

Not enough chances created by Engand.

Not being helped by Ben Chilwell playing with clown boots on. To quote Sturtz from another thread, "La da dada dada da dada".🤡🤡🤡

Done alright. We aren't the same side without Kane though.

Chilwell and Gallagher very average.

Brazil basically just foul us when we're in their half and have good quality on the break.

Quite a decent game to watch. Vini Jnr is the best player in the world right now imo. Bellingham has looked decent as always.

Ollie is trying and looks a threat linking up well with Gordon down the left. Be great to see him get a goal in the 2nd half but fear he may be taken off shortly.

Bellingham is going to have to keep a lid on it being the main target, especially from Pacqueta. You can see he is getting frustrated by it all.

Shows why it's important to play sides from different continents, it's just how they do things, making it really hard for us to get any real foothold
