Thatās not chilled me out.
Really does beg the question as to why the fuck he was taken.
Thereās not much I agree with Roy Keane on but his quip about Henderson being kept around for squad morale - ādoes he do magic tricks or something?ā is spot on.
I think itās insane to not prepare for this tournament with an eye on Qatar 2022 which means Henderson should be less important anyway given his age.
For that matter why was Trippier, a 30 year old right back preferred at left wing back to the young CL winning and EL running up actual left backs in the squadā¦.

Donāt get me wrong, good that we won but that team selection was still total shite.
3 points in the bag all but guarantees a ābest 3rd placed teamā qualification spot (which would give us a better route anyway) so Iād hope thereās a bit of experimentation once weāve beaten the Scots

A better result than game. Decent for the first twenty mins. Croatia unimpressive.

They look tasty.
We had ribs - pork - marinated in a jerk marinade for 24hrs. Disappointing as had to tone down the heat level for YoungAdult#1 - weāre slowly building her tolerance 
Which half is the Stone Age fella and the other the crusty trustafarian juggler?
Ah difficult to tell without a tasting. I suppose the irony is, the crusty trustafarian juggler was a strict vegan before being butchered for a tasty carnivorous meal.

There is a feeling of the Kingās new clothes about this game.
1-0 against a weaker team (so the pundits say) doesnāt lead to all the media hype. I have just read a piece going on about how brilliant Southgate was in his team selection - really? And were the players that superb? Harry Kane certainly wasnāt, and this following a media hype about how he was going to get yet another golden boot.
Perhaps my expectations are too low after team selections, performances and media hollow over the preceding years, and in the games that are yet to come the England team will perform so much better than we are all expecting.
The litmus test is whether people have already picked another national team to follow, or show an interest in, as our own has so often been disappointing.

Yep, this.
Croatia were certainly not the team of three years ago.
But even before the game was even an hour old, some pundits were saying how Mings was answering any concerns about how he would perform on the big stage, how he would take control etc.
Nuts.

Iāve got to say, watching last night I kept thinking that either of those sides would tear us to fucking shreds.

Twitter was comedy gold reading awkward pre match rants on the Tram ride home though.
Expected nothing.
Got a win.
Not excited, itās a work in progress.
Maybe they can play on the front foot, they have done in qualifying but they aināt the second coming yet.
Then neither were the '66 krew
