He waits too long to make subs, bringing on Gordon with 2 minutes to play isn't really going to do much. Needs to do it earlier.

Player’s movements are being monitored constantly. When a certain number of Km are ‘run’, the player is effectively finished for that game. Even if the player thinks he is still good to stay on the pitch, for the sake of the team, he needs replacing. This is standard practice in Gaelic Football, I expect it is in soccer too. If a player is subbed after 88 minutes, one must ask what he was doing on the pitch to last those 88 minutes.

Well, it’s started well …..

2 silly early yellow cards - Maybe a bit OTT by the ref but silly either way

Trippier must have tripped - What a poor attempt

So the ref is going to book every foul. Ridiculous

This ref seems to think he has to use a card whenever he blows his whistle …

I was going to say similar- a touch zealous by the ref for all 3 yellow cards

The ref is going to ruin this game.

This ref is total a hole. Spells trouble.

All 4 yellow cards.

This isn’t going to end well.

already slov looking like they want it more, sussed out england by pressing high up the pitch, then its just possession in englands own half and standing around like spare parts. Eng  have to hope that slov tire in second half.  slov are running at england in attack, england just passing it around like scared fairies.

swiller

there we go^^ 1-0 slov
