UEFA Nations League: Spain v England

[Rob Noxious]

I've only been able to listen to some of this on the radio but it's been sounding like a very exciting game … backs to the wall during this second-half but delighted that Sterling's finally scored after so long goalless for England and hoping that we can pick up three valuable points. Just a few minutes of extra time to go. Looking forward to seeing the highlights on terrestrial soon.

Whoever would have expected that result ? Remarkable win for the England lads.

 

[Colorado Shrimper]

Rode our luck a bit in the second half, and Spain could argue that a couple of decisions didn't go their way, just as we could have at Wembley. Two good sides, and on aggregate, a draw. Probably a fair result. Especially as we win on away goals

 

[Rob Noxious]

Nice to see Rashford score too - after his recent blanks.

 

[The Big Dady]

Good 2-3 win away from home in Spain, could be very important if we end up level with Spain on points in Group A4, we would go above them on Head to Head.

 

[RHB]

You just never know what this England side are going to do. Great result tonight.

 

[Ex-Member1]

Cracking result, what a first half performance that was.

 

[Swiss Tony]

Spa[n taught attacking lesson by the mighty England.

 

[Rob Noxious]

Didn't see this on the highlights but a booking seemed a tad harsh >

 

[kaymac]

Never a booking, as clean a tackle as you'll see. Ramos as usual making the most of it.

 

[Ricky Otto]

It isn't a booking IMO but it is a brainless tackle, to go in like that when all you are ever going to achieve is giving them a goalkick is the kind of thing you'd expect from under 11s

Why would it be a "a goalkick" to them, surely it would be a "corner" to them?

Did you watch the game? it was on Ramos in their box. Makes you wonder what he is thinking, doesn't it?

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

First off ,I thought it was a disgrace that this game wasn't shown on terrestial TV in the UK (as it was in Spain.Incidentally,the Croatia game was also shown live on Spanish TV).

Second,a wonderful first half performance by England, who attacked on the counter with speed,verve and some wonderful finishing, plus 2 great assists.

Third,in the second half England were clearly on the ropes.Can't help wondering if Pickford's rugby challenge in the box had been penalised and England conceeded from the subsequent pen.whether they would have held on from the 70th minute.As it was Spain's inevitable second goal came far too late to affect the result.

 

[kaymac]

I've no problem whatsoever with Ramos being on the receiving end of a strong but fair tackle.....whichever end of the pitch...certainly don't see it as brainless. Where did the ref find
the 7 minutes of added-on time ?

 

[The Big Dady]

Ah yes I see what you mean, yes I did watch the game, What was he thinking? I hope it was payback.

I thought there was an international amnesty on kicking Ramos up in the air?

Next you'll be suggesting it's wrong to give Neymar something to dive about.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

If there was a "brainless tackle" in the game I thought it was Maguire's late challenge (sorry can't remember on who) which got him a booking but would have earnt him a sending off from another ref.

Barnas,Franco,Enrique ingesias,Cortez,Felipe V1 of Spain your boys took a hell of a beating.

Barnas,Franco,Enrique ingesias,Cortez,Felipe V1 of Spain your boys took a hell of a beating.

First of all,they're not "my boys."

Second,as I explained in post 14,Spain nearly got a point which I don't think they would have really deserved, based on England's first half performance.

Third,if Spain win away at Croatia in November they'll top the group.
