Played some good stuff, just last ball/effort lacking. But then we regularly do that before tournaments then fail dismally when it counts. I'm not expecting anything different this time.
I normally hate to watch England but that was enjoyable (if, at times, frustrating). I don't ever remember an England side looking so comfortable in possession. Bodes well for the future.
Clean sheets and tonight wasn’t boring. Thought it was quite good at times and with the pace we have available, it’ll be interesting to see how we do. Let’s hope Kane is fit and in form, that could be the difference.
That run of results in the World Cup would see us into the semi-finals.
Not if we lost on penalties
Huh?
I think the point was that if we went 1-0, 0-0, 0-0 in the group followed by 1-0 in the last 16 and 1-0 in the quarter final, we'd be in the semi final...
I am currently having a great time in Amsterdam. Match was proper shit though. Big shame Gomez got injured so early in. Plenty of aggro before the match in the red light district. Loads of people getting beaten with police battons.
England played decent tonight against a mediocre Dutch team but winning and a clean sheet is paramount on the international stage. Italy will treat the England game as a cathartic experience and will be desperate to redeem themselves after their disastrous qualifying efforts.

We were ok. Holland really really poor. They used to be a great footballing nation. They really have fallen. Shame really.
International football isn’t what it used to be. The days of Zidanne, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Baggio, Maldini, Nesta, Ronaldinho, Beckham, Gullit, Klinsmann, Ballack, Inzaghi, Vieri, Cruyff, Van Basten, Dunga, Ronaldo, Kluivert, Zico, Henry, Petit, Viera, Seedorf, Kakà, Cannavaro, Rijkaard, Gattuso, Buffon, Totti, Del Piero, Deschamps, Scholes, Zico, Zambrotta.
Nowadays, we get served up Jesse Lingard and Jordan Henderson against Dost and Depay.

Didnt reedem themselves much last night tho a 2-0 defeat to Argentina (who had Messi as an unused sub)
Found the game tedious to watch even though England played well enough on the whole and to get a result away against a side with some big names is still worth credit.

Spread over 35 or so years and gawd know how many countries? Not really a valid comparison.
I thought the game was okay, but I agree the Dutch were poor. England should have had more goals, that final ball...
Defence still do not fill me with confidence either, but at least the players looked like they gave a shit.

Just a play on words from when Arsenal kept winning 1-0
Some people on here need to take a chill pill

I was making a joke that we are becoming boring boring england as our last 5 games have seen 3 goals.
Hence why the title is boring boring england a play on words with boring boring arsenal
Very good away performance that many were expecting us to lose.
