Featured Matches

England 2- 0 Malta

I have a LOT of things to say (drove down to this match) but I'm tired and I have a LONG day ahead of me today, so let me save my energy. Tl;dr - Rooney really needs to be dropped from the starting XI

Hendo bossed that. I was impressed by his industry and recycling the ball in field. Respect. Right, moving on, need to make this quick- oh nvm - people went hiking without me.

Thrifting is the way to go

Joe Hart wasn't under pressure, but even with that, he kept his kicks short, and kept it cute. I think his time away is doing him a world of good

Cahill - I can see why he's going to be moved on from Chelsea. John Stones looked so much more composed, tbh

The Malta keeper was MOTM for me. England had shots at goal, and a lesser skilled keeper would have let in more

I like Jesse Lingard. Someone was confusing Lingard with Dele and when I pointed it out to him, he was like, "Well you know, all mixed race kids look alike."

Betrand hobbled off and got replaced by Danny Rose.

Germany 3- 0 Czech Republic

I heard Özil and Müller did well (are those names even spelt correctly? My pc and their options for accents on letters KILL ME)

Nice photo

Kimmich!

The pictures for this match are so NICE! I think it's the stark colours of the kit (black and white with stripes)

Very clear photos!

And dynamic poses! So amazing!

But there's never an excuse for posting a Götze picture though. So have a Hummels instead.

Northern Ireland 4- 0 San Marino

Lafferty rocked up in the second half of the second half and scored a brace. No biggie.

I mean, it's San Marino, but NI had more of a style and swashbuckling style than England, tbh

What in fresh hell is this kit though?

Scotland 1- 1 Lithuania

Scotland was SHOCKING!

I wish they'd kept their all blue kit. This kit isn't so great. Oh, Scotland scored in the dying minutes of the game for a set piece, so they got a share of the spoils. I listened to this match on the way back from London, because my SO was like, "How is Scotland doing? I want them to be at the World Cup too!" With the 48 match expansion being mooted, you might get your wish, mate

OP: done! Sorry, I couldn't find any other pictures of other matches. If I do, I'll include them in tomorrow's post. Going back to bed! Wait! A question before I go- I need the mattest, inkiest black eyeliner known to man. Recommend me one? Thanks!

Müller (and yes, you got both names right!) had two goals. Really nice to see.

Also, the best goalkeeper in the whole wide world needs some basic physics lessons.

I'm glad Reddit is ripping into the dab cam at the England game yesterday

I was also there! The stadium felt much warmer than usual

The dab cam felt like forced indulging in a fad which has already passed. The general dance cam was much less embarrassing (though I still wouldn't do it if it came on me 😅).

It was nice to have some entertainment with the little penalty competition during HT, I think everybody was rooting for the woman

Our local clubs (nowhere near Premier League) don't really do anything like that, the most entertainment we might get is a drunken fight to watch xD

Was the food cheap/decent? I was going to go have a look but my brother was being childish so I didn't go. Last time I went I had a burger from outside that was ridiculously expensive, but IDK about the food/drink inside

Last time I went for England v NED it was freezing and pouring with rain so I made sure to wrap up warm this time. It is actually quite warm here in the South West but grey clouds are looming...

I had already promised my brother to see England v Spain (he loves Ramos and De Gea) and have had tickets for that for a few weeks now, but I just bought England v Scotland tickets this morning. Not as great seats as I usually get but equally expensive :(

Rooney and Cahill seemed quite aggressive yesterday, a stricter ref would not have let them get away with so much

Crazy to think that I am one of those tiny figures in your picture! Yeah the screens were a bit weird. They just lingered on the squad compilations (and even then they would spend a good 10 minutes on one team then switch to the other for 2)

That doesn't seem too badly priced for a stadium. I'll have to bring some cashews next time though (if I had known we could bring bags I would've brought an entire buffet)

The ref was very low key. I didn't even realise the Maltese guy got a yellow until I saw it on the screen.

Is there a decent coach from where you live? National Express go from my city centre and then park directly outside the stadium. I'm too poor a student to drive and get a hotel!

RE: well, it depends on the size of the bag!

That's a cute bag. Are you saying no XXL suitcases with a built-in oven/carvery? :(

Ouch, that's rough! My return ticket from Bristol to Wembley was about £35 which is still a third of the price it would take to get the train in, and even then i'd still have to pay to navigate London public transport. Trains in this country are a real joke. During the summer I got a train from Nice to Stockholm that was cheaper than the train from Bristol to see my brother in Lancashire. But funnily enough, one of the old UK punchlines was that it was the EU who were stopping us from renationalising our services (factually incorrect). But I don't trust either the EU or the Tories with the NHS...

Yes, we (greatly) subsidise the trains and lot of local authorities also subsidise local buses as well. Prices for everything are increasing and yet wages have stayed the same, the government will be faced with a massive problem in 10 years time resulting from this. Everything is worsened by the London-centricity of the UK. We're having a Metrobus installed here that nobody really seems to want but the council basically pushed it through to try and grab London workers to come and live here and commute in. The locals won't really benefit from it at all.

I quite like coaches! Train journeys are stressful and value for money just isn't worth it

I'd like to go to the WC. I'll probably be doing my post-grad (or will just be graduating) by then so probably couldn't afford it though. Each time I go to a game here I want to go and see them more often. I'll have better luck for Euro 2020

The Tory idea of a 'Northern Powerhouse' is building high-speed rail so that northerners can commute to the South East/London to work. We don't have it too bad in the South West but lots of Londoners still have a reality check when they come here and realise that we are nowhere near as developed as London is.

The whole referendum was a shitshow, but the government/Remain handled it spectacularly awfully. I could complain about that for hours. I don't think many people really care outside London about London losing passporting rights (etc) and would probably welcome London taking a hit on the chance it might boost regional economies. But alas, London will always be an entity in itself (which is why it is the only devolved part of England)!

Cardiff should have got chosen over Baku for 2020. It is ridiculous that Baku is such an outlier. Nonetheless, I have a gut feeling that Wembley hosting the final will basically mean England won't host either Euros or the WC anytime soon.

To be honest, I do love the UK but if regions started to split away then I would totally support Wessex independence or whatever our regional equivalent would be. I like the UK but things aren't operated greatly and that won't change anytime soon, and Scotland will sadly likely be gone within my lifetime :( There was a shortlived and unsuccessful Northern Party that supported Northern devolution, but it disbanded this year. I met one of the candidates and she was great.

An English WC would be great, but I doubt I'll see it in my lifetime (or at least until I'm old) which is a pity. :( Maybe I'll move to Germany who seem to host every 5 minutes

Only saw the end of the German match, but papers and reporters are full of praise. And yes, you spelled those names correctly :) Well done!

So ... an Italian for England? Seriously???
