Oh I get that 👍...it's just something that ITV in particular seem completely miffed about. Players should be aware and leave the late stuff out.

Plenty yellows so far alright, but in isolation, it's hard to argue against any of them. Bellingham's one there is a yellow all day long for example, so the players out there are not exactly using their head

He got the ball, wasn't even a foul, nevermind a yellow.

McDermotX

Pen check here maybe

Nah. Nothing there

sligeach

Slovakia could have been in there with a better first touch. England don't look great so far.

Downlinz

Ronnie Whelan referring to England as "we" 🤐

machiavellianme

Great team goal

y0ssar1an22

get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McDermotX

Nicely worked opener

Could have been a pen there anyway. Better if Guehi doesn't concede it and risk going off. Still enough out there to get a win.......it's the bench that's the problem.

Worth it so far you'd have to say

RoryMac

Bhahaha god England are shocking

mobydopy

Lol England

sligeach

Hopefully this goal stands for Slovakia. Nice move too.

ShamoBuc

This has just got even more interesting.

BorneTobyWilde

They think it's all over, it isn't now, 0-1 Slovakia , England need to wake up.

HalloweenJack

Deserved goal for Slovakia. Nice to see them going for it.

SlickRic

Kyle Walker.

sligeach

VAR will be looking for anything to do England a favour. Fingers crossed they don't find anything.

paulie21

Why does Ronnie Whelan think it could be chalked off? Don't see anything

Mr.Crinklewood

What is Ronnie Whelan seeing that I'm not seeing?

cmac2009

Mass confusion with the RTE team. No idea what was going on there Ffs.

sligeach

Slovakia deserved that goal, they've been the better team.

I've no idea what he was talking about about, clearly no offside in the buildup

Fitz*

Lovely finish from the striker, especially when the easy option would have been to go down.

mobydopy

RTE commentary is brutal as per usual

Because he's an awkward contrarian. He deliberately goes against what is obvious. If he told me that the sky was blue, I'd assume it's either red or dark at that time

I never said he was trying to handle the ball. But changing the rules encourages players to jabe their hands/arms in positions that I crease the chances of blocking the ball with their arm. I don't see why that's a bad thing

Augme

No idea how the Rte 2 comments thought the player who flicked it on was offside. He was miles on.

Francie Barrett

England look very nervous.

McDermotX

England would be well advised to apply pressure like that. Slovakia aren't rubbish, but they're not great.

That said, if they got another, it'd be very interesting. Massive hill if that happens

Mr.Crinklewood

Sounds like a Galway player is taking a free.

allinthehead

England fans booing now😬

One player was offside in the buildup but he didn't touch the ball. That's the only thing that makes sense.

It's annoying watching Foden, wasted on the left.

RoryMac

Slovakia need to stick to their game plan, a danger they'll start dropping deeper and not break as cleanly as they have up to now

Brendan Filone

Southgate not predicting this left side issue with the squad he selected was so poor.

Fitz*

Rice is having another shocker of a game. Hiding when England have the ball so he doesn't receive it, and when he does he takes a lot of time before eventually going backwards with it.

BorneTobyWilde

Standing is a foul, geez, I'm surprised ref didn't book him again and send him off for '' standing '' near the keeper.

McDermotX

Guehi clearly blocking the keeper

ITV - 'that's not a foul'

Watching too many PL set pieces if you ask me

Trippier has been awful. But his inability to get forward and open up on his left side. This is killing foden up there. I'd get gordan in there to go forward and put foden inside

ElJaguar

Like how direct Slovakia are.

Get the ball up front or to the wings as quick as possible.

RoryMac

Must think he's back playing for Ireland

Spot on, paralysed by fear. No way should they be so worried. How can they properly play when tensed up.

y0ssar1an22

that free to bellingham is bollix

sligeach

That shouldn't have been an England free. Bellingham was holding the Slovakian player.

I wonder what Grealish is thinking? Should have played for Eire?

McDermotX

Better from Foden moving in to look for the ball, just too much on the pass

McDermotX

Linesman is blind 😅

BorneTobyWilde

England don't seem willing to lose the ball, or cross the ball, no one wants to be the one who loses possession, Slovakia play a lot of 60-40 plays, and lots have come off that led to a chance. England need to play more balls into dangerous areas, and see what breaks to them, and to keep repeating it over and over, keep that Slovakia defense busy

Headshot

You know a proper manager would have Gordon and Palmer on for the start of the 2nd half but this is Southgate we're talking about

McDermotX

Boooooooos at HT I would think

The Rooster

Bellingham is playing a lot better than he did in the last 2 group games. But he loves a lie down and a scream.

RoryMac

This game will be decided by which team gets a player sent off first. Ref dishing out yellows like it's the late late show, 'one for everyone in the audience '
