Great save that
And now he does it from open play

Croatia have a pen…saved but score immediately from open play.
1 - 0 53 mins
I actually think that was poetic justice, because that pen was really harsh. The defender was turning away from a ball fired at him from a few yards. But the subsequent Modric goal was well deserved and nicely taken.
You just knew that was coming.
Last minute of stoppage time equaliser for the eyeties
Wow that was a nail biter for both teams.
Now I’ve been made an Honorary Croatia, I was fucking gutted at that. The poor bastards need England to win by 3.
He obviously has something in mind, a style or a system, that so far hasn’t translated into the pitch
What I do hope is that changes he makes are measured and not knee jerk in response to Lineker and his trophyless chums
His mistakes in my mind have been to bring injured or just recovered players without game time and experimenting with players out of position - that’s what friendlies are for
There is a third potential and that is picking the best players not the best team, although a couple of games is too soon to call that
As we have now qualified for the last 16 will we actually try and win this last game or just come third and hope for a good draw?
What, against Portugal or Belgium?
Harry Kane does not suit the style he wants to play, you cannot drop Harry Kane though so change the style??
Yes, that sounds like Southgate, doesn’t it. Very flexible manager. 
How’s your mental state coping Phil?
It’s fine. I’m really looking forward to watcbing the England game tonight…
I would rest Rice, Bellingham and Kane for this game.
Replace with, Mainoo, Palmer and Watkins.
Play Foden more central and Gordon wide left.
TAA hasn’t worked in midfield.
Also hoping Shaw gets some minutes.
Oh, I don’t think Gareth brought Palmer along to actually field him. He’s just injury cover for centre half or right back.
Shaw has only just started training with the rest of the squad. He won’t be involved tonight.
When he is finally fit when we get to the final ( 
) he had better be shit hot
Back at Berlin for Holland v Austria, but just watched Vince and Dawson get tons.
A good day.
