That was a massive miss from Cuadrado - loads of time

And that was a dive from Lingard to add to the one from Maguire as well - England got to be careful

I thought maguire was expecting the tackle and dipped as opposed to a full on dive for a pen.
 
His left foot was touched, defender was nowhere near the ball. And contact isn’t even needed. That’s a penalty, definitely.

Lingard was waiting for the defender to get near him and hit the defenders foot. He should’ve got a shot away at least.

Angle was tight but yea he should’ve backed himself but just because he invited contact doesn’t give the defender the right to make it, or to go across him and miss the ball. It’s a penalty!
 
That’s a penalty for me. Contact isn’t needed. More poor commentating.
Very poor.

Quote from Hoddle 'Falcao backing into Maguire, that's a definite foul no intention of playing the ball'

Ball in the England penalty area Hoddle quote 'Great play by Henderson he's backing into him to put him off'.

Surely that's a foul as well?

Contact alone does not equate to a penalty. The player has to be impeded and Lingard was not.

It wasn’t a pen.
 
What an outstanding save from Pickford but got to do better at the corner

Looks like the guy scoring has hurt himself celebrating

Got to pick themselves up now

Poor from Southgate to bring on Dier, who was poor in the last game. Keep the game stretched and back yourselves. Hope it doesn’t cost them. Sterling has to come off. He’s stealing a living right now.
 
The shot that led to the corner that led to the goal was from a free kick taken nearly 20 yards forward of where the foul was committed.
Can they cheat any more....??
