I have to admit I missed the announcement of the rule change where if you miss a chance on 55 minutes the ref blows the final whistle. One to look out for in the rest of the tournament.

I watched the game in De Hems, the Dutch bar in Soho, with some friends who were down for the weekend. It was very pleasant, with a mixture of England watchers and Dutch fans getting their preparation going early. The capacity was limited, which worked for me. It was the first time watching an England game in a pub here in about twenty years but I'll quit while ahead.
Oh, and I provoked the goal by going to the toilet. All in an afternoon's work.

You can add me to what seems like a pretty long list of English people who want England to do well and watch England games more than any other in the tournament. I mean, yeah, sure, England's support has some very rotten elements. And they are the main reason I have no desire to ever go to another England game. But I'll still be "supporting" the team from my armchair. And it's much more enjoyable watching the England team of the last few years than it was in the days of the Golden Generation.

Nick Pope missed out due to a knee injury. He may have been first choice, though as another goal kick sailed straight out of play yesterday, I remembered that Southgate prefers Pickford due to his superior distribution.
