Surprised ther isn’t a thread on this. Do we only care about QPR? To be honest, I usually find Euro qualifiers a bore, but I have to watch tonight. My mother-in-law who spent the first 94 years of her life being indifferent to football has suddenly become a fervent fan and insists I watch with her to explain the finer points (she is under the illusion that 20 years of watching QPR has given me some insight into how the game should be played). She was bitterly disappointed to learn that her favourite player Erling Haaland won’t be leading the line for England. Luckily she also loves Harry Kane.
My prediction 1-1 (Kane) |  | | |  |

If England can win a tournament they surely have to be able to do a job on teams at Italy's level. Can't see it tonight. Southgate puts emphasis on defence over attack and it never seems to be quite enough against the big International teams. |  | | |

Awful wasn't it? | | | |

To be fair to your mother in law Haaland was born in England and being a QPR fan especially with the current team does give you an insight into football just do the opposite of what we currently do and you should be fine | | | |

Not sure I like this Adidas jersey of Italy. Don’t like the white stripes, it looks far too much like a Chelsea kit. Wrong colour blue too |  | | |

Bellingham is some player.
Great goal…… haven’t seen football like this for a few months ….. | | | |

Very impressed with England. We are well in control so far. | | | |

Well Done Harry Kane.... means Rooney is no longer top England scorer (which is nice) [Post edited 23 Mar 2023 20:39]

Up there with some of the best England performances (first half anyway!) that I’ve seen. Bellingham and Saka are both generational talents and they’ll be even better this time next year ahead of Euro 2024. |  | | |

Great performance. Bellingham and Rice is some midfield. Italy can't live with us when we break. So should be 3-0 at half time though, Grealish has missed a sitter there. Can't see Italy being that bad second half. | | | |

Watching Bellingham makes me feel about 80 years old. |  | | |

Maguire has a brain fart and its 2-1. What was he thinking?
This is where Southgate falls down, doesn't react to the shift in momentum, desperately needs a change but he'll just do nothing until its 2-2. [Post edited 23 Mar 2023 21:06]

There's no chance of that. England have scored twice already and are protecting a lead. |  | | |

What is it with this bloody team. Come out for the second half and can’t string two passes together. Going backwards when we have some of the best forward players in Europe being absolutely starved of the ball. Typical Southgate football. | |

To be fair, he’s hardly had a kick in the second half. | | | |

Once the first one was booked for time wasting sh-thousery it was obvious that the ref wasn’t going to stand for it. Yet two more then get booked for it and then Shaw gets a second yellow and we’re down to ten men.
Brain dead. | | | |

We'll f*ck this in injury time, can see it now. | | | |

I'd forgotten what it was like holding onto a lead going into injury time..... all very strange... Well done England.... great first half! | | | |

Staggered over the line. I never feel that Southgate really knows what he’s doing. But we’ll take the points. | | | |

Brilliant result. First win in Italy since the 1960’s. Well done England. | | | |

Wouldn’t mind having that ref in the Championship, though. We need officials who are prepared to clamp down on the time wasting sh-thousery as quickly and effectively as he did. | | | |
