Can't argue with that


But it's only a few idiots - they don't represent us football fans

 

It won't taint it for me. 

 

Wins a win.

I think we deserved the win in the end. The pen was a bit jammy as was Kane getting a simple rebound (which when you watch again Schmeichel actually almost got to that as well!) but we were on top at the time and if the pen wasn’t given I’d still have fancied us to press home our advantage. 
 

Its the lack of ‘star player’ that I’m really enjoying. Sure Kane is a key player but he’s certainly no prima donna. The whole team seem to play for each other and run and run like I’ve never seen an England team do before. I think Sancho has the edge for me over Saka but, Saka did creat the 1st goal and does his defensive work well so maybe it’s better for the team to have Saka starting. 
 

I’m certainly not confident we will beat Italy but think it’s genuinely 50:50.

Were  Denmark a tougher opponent or did we make hard work of it?

A bit of both perhaps.

Denmark played very well and passed the ball brilliantly. But they are still Brentford plus Dohlberg. And he had plenty of chances. 
schmeichel is starting to look like the best keeper in the world whilst Pickford began to look a bit erratic.  we weren’t quite able to reach peak form.
I was surprised that he left Sancho out.  saka wasn’t quite as good imo.

But our former Ram, Mason Mount played very well 

Grealish was ok. A bit slow and casual  but he would have created something for us if allowed to play on.
we played very well at times but a soft penalty is ultimately a slightly disappointing way to win.


 

 

I would guess that playing Saka rather than Sancho was a tactical decision based on how Denmark attack.

As Saka seems better able to track back.

It's a regular reoccurring comment about the teamwork and lack of ego, and no doubt down to this guy:

It’s interesting how much difference this stuff makes to a team game. The shirt is more important to the individual and leadership is about putting others first not yourself. England have punched beneath our weight for so long we really have had to change our approach. I’m just glad it’s working!

quite possibly. But why worry about them. Give them an attacking problem to deal with.
