Good pass and movement and a strong 1st half by England. Walker is playing the best football of his career; defending well and attacking with pace. To think that Southgate has had to talk Walker out of retiring from England duty.
also the fun thing is - with most lower level teams in this position, they would shut up shop and try to keep the score down - but their fans are never going to accept that which means potentially they could get a real tonking this second half (unless we pull a Sven Goran and sub the whole team throughout the second half and kill the game ourselves)

He'd still be fast even if he lost a yard of pace. it's ridiculous.
Foden has been world class. Bellingham has been world class.
Southgate has to get the balance right but I do like Rice and Phillips at the base as it gives the three of them (Saka or Rashford?) plus Kane so much license to get forward.

My only criticism of Bellingham is he sometimes holds onto the ball too long, same for Rashford, busy tying their opponents in knots, but getting themselves in a muddle too.

33, yet still as fit as ever
I guess Ronaldo proved you can keep it going if you want to. I expect this next generation of footballers to last on average an additional year or two.
Walker’s built like a sprinter and I’m sure if football didn’t work out he’d have had a decent career in athletics, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone faster than him on a 1v1. Could end up being the English Cafu!

The mad thing is, when he does retire, we can bring in Trent or Reece James.

It's difficult for him though. Because he's the only player who can't look up and work out that the best thing to do is to lay it off to Bellingham.

England fans doing the ole with each pass as the clock ran down...
absolute Rolls Royce of a player, makes the game look ridiculously easy and this season he’s added goals
so far so good
