If Raheem Sterling, who's what, 24? Is on his 50th cap tonight he could end up with about 150.

Feel bad for Stones (Barnsley born and bred) but there's a reason Pep's not been playing him.
Also tough on Southgate to play this game straight after two all-English European club finals. OTOH he should have considered other options such as letting Kane have the week off. He also has to reconsider playing the ball from the back with these players.
As for the competition, these games were definitely competitive, and it was great to watch the Dutch playing at this level of quality, but they were obviously not the same intensity as the World Cup games in Russia and you'd hope the defending would not be as bad as we saw today given a proper tournament build-up.
I would probably compare this week with the Confederations Cup - entertaining but you wouldn't miss it if it were scrapped.

Relieved that the game was on Sky and not ITV, otherwise i'd have been compelled to watch that horrorshow (yes, i'm going to the Kubrick exhibition this weekend). Fucking Stones, Jesus wept. Just pass it back to the keeper lad, or hoof it. This is all Pep's fault.
