    Bale, Ramsey, Ampadu and Mepham all out for Wales in Dublin tomorrow night to add to the previous withdrawals. Could be another grim evening.

      Ken Early's take is good though:

        Given Giggs's famous no shows for friendlies, why did he risk Ramsey in the friendly against Spain. Ampadu is just bad luck. But Ramsey is notoriously glassy.

          Ramsey is out for personal reasons not injury.

I was watching this match in the pub, because I don't have sky and my internet was dead, and I was so delighted when my neighbour came in, because otherwise I would have had to watch the match.

                As a result it reads like a podcast segment in article form; I'd say it adds a worthy new angle to the medium.

                  I keep my lad away from all that Premier League, Champions League and FIFA shite. He's been fed a rigorous diet of Championship Broth, prepared until recently by Head Chef McCarthy. A friend of ours recently had his son ditch Ipswich and switch allegiance to Tottenham. You can't give them a sniff of it.

                    Ah. That's going to be something sad, then.

                    I feel bad now for assuming he was injured.

                      My brother doesn't seem to see the peril my nephew is in. When we play kickabout in the back garden, he is always Manchester City, Chelsea, Germany or England. Never Shrewsbury. It bodes ill.

                        Please, what you people do with your lads in your back gardens is your own business.

                              A very good goal, too.

                                And what a goal it was

                                  Do the refs really need their socks to contrast with Spain’s?

                                    Spain don’t seem very good at the offside trap, do they?

                                      This has to be one of the highest goals-to-possession-ratio ratios I've ever seen.

                                            Well, Spain have made eight changes from that game and I did think their starting line up looked a less daunting prospect than normal. That’s no excuse for this capitulation though and England are missing many players too.

                                                Two, no less. Surely worthy of The Telegraph.

                                                  Spain still win the group if they win in Croatia, but this result (so far) is about embarrassment and bragging rights in the dressing room. Spain can't win trophies defending like that, clearly, and it's a replay of their calamity v the Dutch to a degree.

                                                  Sterling, Kane and Rashford vindicated (and Southgate for not bowing to pressure).

                                                  Probably the best I have seen England play on the counter. Classic rope-a-dope.
