So, injury time seemed to be increased to 3 mins.

Germany made a sub in added time.

Ref stopped play at for a free kick about 2.5 mins into injury time. Gave out yellow cards.

Then ended the game before play restarted.

Puzzled with the time keeping

It is very rare that a side would really miss having their right back.

But, N Ireland would have loved to have Conor Bradley on the pitch tonight

Watched Wales v Belgium and really enjoyed it. Superb game, Wales gave it a good go but Belgium ripped them apart at times.

Looks like Gyokeres & Isak will be getting the summer off.
Sweden currently sit bottom of the table.

Maybe if Isaak had kept training and playing over the summer and beginning of the season he'd be a bit sharper and scoring goals for Sweden

Don’t think they’ve scored a goal between them in 3 games,against poor opposition.

Farnham Town vs Sutton Utd FA Cup match was live on BBC on Saturday. Weird seeing the place on TV with a full house. And tough losing the equalizer deep into added time - though the difference in standard of player was very evident across the park.

No matter - replay coming up. Will be interesting to see what support the Town takes to Sutton as the success of the club is only last handful of years and so most of the support is very new to the club. From 50 and their dogs 10 years ago to 600-1000 quite regularly. A lot of Farnham folk go as it's a fun thing to do on a Saturday at 3pm - it's inexpensive; its slap bang in town so easy to get to, pint and eats before or after, and a great and enthusiastic atmosphere with a lot of kids going along to watch and support their (now) successful and progressing wee local town team.

Replay tonight. And on the Saturday crowd…not surprisingly it was a club record sellout of 2300. Actually surprised that that many could get round the pitch as no fans one end and very little space down one side.

Aldershot only being allowed 750 tickets for the away game at Dorking contributed!!

Sweden will still more than likely get a play off place

I would not be too confident about that. That's a grim looking table for them.

It will be one of the places through the Nations League



They need 2 of the top teams to miss out on the top two spots in their group for them to not make a play off spot

I would not be too confident about that. That's a grim looking table for them.

...And even if they do make it by virtue of their Nations League position, I wouldnt be confident as things stand that they'd win two play off matches, the first of which which would definitely be away from home, as the teams that qualify from the Nations League are automatically put into pot 4 for the purposes of the play off semi-final draw.

...and Shots manager has departed the club today...so I hear from a mate at my club.

Yes.. completely of the blue. He's had health issues, or maybe he's had a better offer

Good contingent of England there according to my mates who are there.

Good effective performance so far against another "parked bus."

Playing folk based on output, not number of Twitter Followers. Never a bad thing.

 

[nickjdavis]

Good first half performance. Wish Saka would get some early balls over in from the right. Spence does not look as effective on the right as he did playing on the left the other day. Kane doing what Kane does. Gordon outstanding. Job done.

Throwing himself on the floor to "win" a penalty? I thought the bear hug on Gordon looked worse, but he didn't dive.

That makes a change

His was a good goal ,
