Good first half.

Crap second half.

Will Foden ever deliver in an England shirt?

That second half was like watching Forest under Cooper. England may yet come good but need to start playing as a team.
Think as usual the squad is overhyped, a few excellent individuals, Bellingham is an astonishing talent but a few mediocre in there too.

Not sure Foden and Bellingham work in the same 11, TAA isnt a centre mid, subs of Gallagher, Bowen and Mainoo, none are international level IMO.

The back 5 looked nervous to me. They defended fine but always looked uncomfortable receiving the ball and playing out. It was all a bit nervy. They looked like a defence who'd not played together before. Foden was lost as Bellingham took the midfield by the scruff of the neck. He needs to work out how he slots in now Bellingham's the star. And TAA can pass but he's not a polished midfielder.

Harry Kane was useless at being the lone striker and holding up the ball. Toney would have been far better option but neither of them are a Taiwo in that role.

IMO you dont go from that performance to winning the tournament. We're not going to win the Euros.

Can Pickford smarten himself up a bit he looks a right tramp and so uncool and that kit he wears is hideous.

Not officially, but all agreed with Lyon and clause will apparantly be triggered by 30th June.

Although his fee already taken into account for the projected PSR numbers.

Ie - we still need around 20m profit on top of Mangala

He's not done much today so far but then neither have the rest of the Belgium team.

Sels is on the bench, the only Forest involvement in the entire Championship assuming Mangala leaves.

Quite strange, haven’t checked but would be surprised if any other PL team is as poorly represented.

It’s not the worst thing. No extra games for the lads, get them nice and refreshed.

Slovakia beating Belgium is apparently statistically the biggest upset in European Championship Finals history.
