Boring Boring England

Two of those games against Germany and Brazil as well

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.

Wasn’t a thriller. Saying that, that’s the most comfortable I’ve seen us on the ball for a long while. Give Gareth and the lads some credit.

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.

I should point out i wasnt saying we was boring tonight.

Just a play on words from when Arsenal kept winning 1-0

Some people on here need to take a chill pill

Paulie, you are now contradicting yourself in the style of our dearly departed ex-manager. Stop digging mate.

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...

So when arsenal kept winning 1-0 everyone was saying boring boring arsenal

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

If you're joking add a smiley so people can appreciate it's a joke.

Better than charlton last 5 games

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.

Ronaldo - so fat he had to be in the list twice.

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.

Think this stat speaks volumes for the game really;

Vardy - minutes on pitch 22 (26 inc injury time) - touches of the ball - 0
