England 1 - 0 Uruguay [85']

James Garner makes his England debut
G arner was taking the corners in the first half and putting in some decent deliveries. But England were mostly tentative playing the maddening backwards, sideways, forwards, sideways, backwards rubbish that is so hard to watch in the Premier League.
Half-Time: 0 - 0
Garner got few meaningful touches in the second half and was subbed by Barnes after 68 minutes.
Calvert-Lewin missed an absolute sitter from just three yards out, a beautiful curling delivery... probably a bit much for the former Everton striker to handle.
Ben White gave England the lead from a corner.
England: Trafford, Livramento, Tomori, Maguire, Spence, Henderson, Garner, Foden, Madueke, Rashford, Solanke.

Fuck me, I should make a comeback if he's good enough to captain England! And I'm 67.

I have Fubo but they have now got DAZN in their folder and want extra money to watch this game.

He is making some good runs but instead of picking him out they would rather pass back.

Problem is... I live in Canada.

I shouldn't have bothered... it's awful, although Jimmy is doing well.

It's awful. Apart from Rashford.

Pointless these games, the manager should know how good a player is. The players are playing against the world's best each week in the Premier League at a higher tempo with much more at stake.
Playing against the likes of Japan or Andorra to prove you're an international footballer is utter bollocks.

Solanke is poor and so is Spence but they do play for London clubs and that gives them the edge in getting selected.

Laid on a plate. But it was always the service that was lacking, eh?
Nowt to do with his abundance of skill... My arse.

Jimmy had already played a nice ball to his left mid, a dangerous hanging cross into the box and got fouled on the ball, leading to a Foden free kick.
Are they instructed to avoid naming Everton players??
He's playing well, our boy!
