Agree does not really look senior international material.Do you think he'd get into Croatia's team. or France's, or Belgium's? I think he's bog standard.

I think he’s bang on. If you don’t think England were the better side in the second half then truly you will never enjoy or appreciate an England performance ever. The only difference overall between the two sides was Eden Hazard - We simply don’t have a playerof his calibre which is why we lost today and lost to a Modric-inspired Croatia (well, Modric and two defensive lapses).Kane interview on Talk Sport “second half had them on the ropes at times” a slightly OTT comment !!
quite frankly that is rubbish. I have read the thread back through again and TBH I hardly recognise the England team ive watched in this tournament from the descriptions and the critical comments you, and some others, have made. I'm not sure what you expected but I've been pleasantly surprised by this England squad. Of course they aren't a polished gem stone, but they are still well beyond a lot of England squads in the past decade or so. I like their approach and I like above all the way they have been guided. I have enjoyed the lack of ego and the honesty on display. The quality of the football may not have always been as sharp as that offered by some countries, but there was enough creative flowing movement to show these lads are definitely not no hopers. There was also a togetherness about the team that showed in the way they played. The negative focus of your comments are indeed more OTT than you would have Kane's comment to be. Personally I far prefer to focus on the positives that the team showed, and they far outweighed any harping criticism.Kane interview on Talk Sport “second half had them on the ropes at times” a slightly OTT comment !!
How many of our team would get into those teams ?Do you think he'd get into Croatia's team. or France's, or Belgium's? I think he's bog standard.
