    Swiss much more direct when they get the ball

    Not difficult. But playing better than we did against Slovakia

    Both sides a bit more cagey today

    Another game where you question why we have two luxury players in Bellingham and Foden that essentially just want to do exactly the same thing.

    I think we should confound the swiss by passing it around at the back

    Kane you have to be there FFS. You are a striker.

    Well, it’s not great, but it’s better than we’ve seen up to now.

    Possible offside though against Saka

    I've no idea why he wasn't busting a gut to get into the 6 yard box

    This ref seems to want to keep his cards in his pocket.

    The ref is a bit mad isn't he? Must be an Italian thing

    It's hard work following this from 30k feet over the Andaman Sea but I'm doing it! Come on England!

    He did when we played Serbia as well, to be fair I dont think there has been an incident deserving of a card yet

    Agreed. But that retaliatory tackle by the Swiss forward would’ve got a yellow from a lot of refs I reckon.

    Konsa and Mainoo have been the best 2 England players so far today.

    The only 2 that haven't been playing every game.

    I don't think that's a coincidence

    Mainoo you lucky boy to win that FK, you ran yourself into danger

    England are playing better than previously it must be said. 

    But I do think Foden is a spare part and feels like we're playing with 10.

    Much better Saka... Did so well to turn the Defender there

    Kane needs to move more.

    We're so predictable it's insane. Pass to Stones, pass to Rice, pass to Trippier, pass to Foden up on the left, pass back to Rice, to Mainoo, over to Walker then Saka or direct to Saka, he beats his man and then can't pick out anyone in a white shirt. Repeat ad nauseum

    Charltonish corner. Actually that's being unfair to us.

    Corner to England, back to Pickford in 5 passes.

    🎶 It's just like watching Charlton🎶

    Proper Charlton corner! Four passes and back to the keeper. Unreal
