Morning Bob
England’s Starting XI Pickford, Three First Names, Gomez, Maguire, Rose, Delph, Dier, Lingard, Sterling, Kane and Alli
Good morning. Just woke up and I'm brewing some coffee. Ready to join you for The Wealth of Nations League.
Waiting for boxing to end sow ESPN can start coverage of the match. Wish they would KO TT and Ian
Morning David
About to turn over the Aussies v Italy WC match for the England Swiss match
I have my brother in law here and may be heading to Schuyler Mansion in Albany today
We don't have to deal with TT because he's at the Final but we have to put up with Latin American guy... I hate him even more!
He is very anti-England and anti-Prem League
Gareth Southgate thinking the same as us by dropping the two Citeh defenders , who cost England the semis
YIKES! Can't win with ESPN. Hope you have a great trip . Will you be around for England vs Scotland?
World Cups going all over the place
Women's WC
Aussies 1 Italy 1 in the 91st of 95 minutes
Cricket WC
India 284-2 with 5 overs to go against he Aussies
England are the favorites for Cricket WC and one of the favorites for the Women's WC
I am not sure what time we are going
Morning, chaps - how are you today?
Southgate has made seven changes to the side that should have won against Holland on Thursday. John Stones has been left out, along with Kyle Walker, Declan Rice, Ben Chilwell, Ross Barkley, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford.
England (4-1-2-3) Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Maguire, Rose; Dier; Alli, Delph; Sterling, Kane, Lingard.
Substitutes: Walker, Stones, Henderson, Sancho, Butland, Chilwell, Keane, Rice, Barkley, Rashford, Wilson, Heaton.
Switzerland (3-4-2-1) Sommer; Schar, Akanji, Elvedi; Mbabu, Xhaka, Freuler, Rodriguez; Shaqiri, Fernandes; Seferovic.
Substitutes: Mvogo, Omlin, Moubandje, Lang, Okafor, Steffen, Zuber, Benito, Ajeti, Zakaria, Sow, Drmic.
Referee Ovidiu Haţegan (Romania).
Italy score at the 94.37 mark against the favored Aussies
Italy defeated the Aussies in ET in the men's WC in 2006 as well.
Aussies have one last corner... they get another one but the ref blows
Good morning, Bob. Doing well. How about you?
Will Three First Names make three bloggers happy. Replacing Kyle Walker, who was quite pedestrian.
Enjoying my vacation thoroughly. Kate and I have gotten a lot of back burner projects done this week.
Teams out for the anthems now.
You two NEVER travel EAST did you?
Both teams wearing their traditional colors
COME ON ENGLAND
COME ON ENGLAND
COME ON ENGLAND
I think I have on occasion.
Southgate blew it not picking any of the Champions League players
I would have left out Kane but I would definitely have played Three First Names and probably Hendo
I don't rate this Swiss side at all. I want a big win for the England boys this morning.
They're off from Guimares.
England should have won on Thursday even though they were second best. All the goals were gifts.... and we had a goal called off by a toe nail
We are off
Agreed, Dave. Everyone else picked the CL Final players
Of course, these two were one game away from playing each other in the quarter final last year
They were better than Sweden and should have won
The Swiss get us underway here in Guimares.
The Swiss are good enough to win if England do any stupid stuff like they did Thursday. England should win if they're at their best
Oooh...off the bar!!
Lingard should have started too
England still playing it out of the back; haven't learned a thing.
Kane's nice little chip hits the bar and two following up couldn't connect
OH!!! Harry Kane has a shot tipped on to the bar by Jan Sommer off a Sterling pass.
Oh - off the bar early doors!
Nice run by DIer but just couldn't feed Kane. England look hungry for goals.
England still STRUGGLING getting the ball out from the back
Pickford does well to turn around a powerful long range effort, but the whistle blew.
Both teams wearing their traditional colors.
England give away the ball in a dangerous position but the Swiss stray offside. A let off.
Just stop talking Moreno
Agreed. At last he's not dissing the Prem. Still early doors.
That chip was tipped on to the bar
That would have been a great goal for Kane.
Freuler with a half volley straight to Pickford off a nice long ball.
A shame Harry Kane was not Abel to score.
Freuler was in there but volleyed into Pickford's arms. I like that Pickers actually catches balls. Most modern keepers punch shots like that away needlessly.
You're off to a good start this morning, MUR. Boom boom!
If this is such a biog tournament, why didn't they use the national stadium in Lisbon?
I am still annoyed about no CL finalists playing...it would have been their second game in THREE WEEKS
Sterling takes a pop....straight at keeper
OH!!! Anything but a Sterling finish as it was more of a Sommer sausage as he shot tamely at the keeper from two yards out. Harry Kane was Abel to pick him out
Oh - Sterling should have scored after having having been teed up by Kane. Should have put his foot through it rather than side footing it.
Shaquiri leads a Swiss counter , but gifts possession back to one of the Three Lions.
Talking about threes:
Three First Names
Three bloggers
Three Lions
Cheers, Bob. There's more where those came from.
That looked a great tackle by Fabian Delph. A foul was a harsh decision.
Oh - England were away but for some reason Delph was pulled back for a foul.
Schaar more like Cher in that challenge. After a season of Prem footie, he should be used to those challenges.
Kane looks sharper today
Gareth Southgate should be feeling better today. He passed a Stone. On to the bench that is.
Ignoring
Hopefully, Kane is Abel to score a few goals today
India hit 352 for 5 in the 50 overs
Maguire with a hospital pass to Rose and Rose goes in the book
Danny Rose booked for a foul on Mbabu. That didn't look that bad.
Come on England....starting attacking more!!
The ref must not be a fan of the LUFC Academy. One foul on a current Toon player and one on an ex Toon player that couldn't break into their first team.
Leeds Academy boy into the book for a rash challenge.
Will there be a water break like there was when Croatia hosted Wales yesterday?
If Jamie Milner were in the squad, we could have an LUFC Academy party today.
Lindy booked for what was foul , but seeming inocuous.
Moreno bad mouthing United
That would be a great party.
And now Lindy into the book.
Would you be happy with a contract extension for Lindy?
Do agree with Moreno about the particular players he's bad mouthing.
Again....why is there so much chatting going on.... I HATE all these guys in the booth
Sterlling misses another chance....
Would have been offside anyway
Finish like you're wearing blue
OH!! Sterling fails to divert in a cross from Three First Names.
Moreno again.... bad mouthing the English
Oh - Sterling should have had another! Great ball over from Terence Trent Darby and Raheem would have finished that for Citeh.
Must not be warm enough for a water break.
I really want to turn off the sound... I hate all the conversation!!
There is a game going on
It's like they are baseball commentators talking between pitches or Am Football between plays
Good pressure building for England here.
OH!!! Delle Alli should have headed England into the lead. One superb cross from Three First Names. Free header from three yards out well over.
Agreed - they should put a sock in it.
Great cross by Three First Names...
Alli misses a sitter!
DAMN IT
Oh - now it's Dele who spurns a great chance, again teed up by Alexander-Arnold.
It has been a n improved England performance and they have had the best chances.
Dier doesn't spray the ball out to Three First Names and goes short.... he then tries to... and kicks it right out of bounds
SHUT UP MORENO
Danny Rose deflects over a shot from Swiss danger man , Seferovic off a pass from Freuler on the break.
England break off the corner from Ricardo Rodriguez.
Seferovic was in there but Rose got back to block well.
Dele keeps running even though he is offside... Tom knows how to curl his run...how to run horizontal to keep his pace and stay onside
Moreno needs to SHUT UP
Lindy with a pass deflected for corner.
Useless corner by Three First Names
geez
Corner headed away by the first man, Mbabu.
Tom should be starting for England. Would help Southgate for sure.
Our sound keeps going out...I wish it would keep out
Healey needs to give Moreno a slap.
Good run by the Swiss full back... he passes it out wide... and a modern day football tries to cut it back instead of taking the man on
England just passing the ball around going no where
and give away a throw in
A minute of stoppage time.
The match is drifting towards half-time. England, without being overwhelmingly dominant, have certainly been the better team.
I hate the ESPN FC crew too
It's 0-0 at the end of a half where the Three Lions had the best chances.
England should be a couple of goals to the good. Too much generosity in front of goal from the England boys. 0-0 at hat-trick.
Teams coming out for the second half
Away we go
Again...they are talking about Euro 04 while England are attacking with the ball... they do know there is a game going on
Back for the second half.
COME ON ENGLAND!
I guess trying to make the connection with the one tournament Portugal hosted. Would prefer a history lesson from Bob.
An atrocious England free kick...professional! The ball is sitting still
Jack Butland the only championship player in the England squad.
It seems like one goal will settle this one.
At least Moreno stopped when the ball was going in the box.... TT would have kept talking.... it was some stupid comment anyway
England need to put the hammer down in this second half. Come on!
Kane heads just wide but a foul was called
Don't think he did much
Harry Kane heads a great cross just wide, but is called for a foul.
OOOH
England hit the post....well the Swiss do!!
Kane was there but the defender gets it before him and he knocks it against the post
The rebound goes the wrong way
It was a save!
Bloody short corner follows
OH!!!! Nearly a n OG as a cross from Danny Rose was diverted on top the post by Cher, not Sonny.
Oh - nearly an own goal there - off the post!
Now Pickford makes the save from a Gooner
Nice run down the right by Shaquiri and Pickford does well to turn around a hot from Xakha Khan.
Come Dele.... get the pass right!!
He has been rotten this season
Oh - great save by Pickers from Xhaka Khan!
England attacking off the corner from Ricardo Rodriguez.
Delph almost refuses to turn and go into space but he is forced to go forward but of course the ball goes backwards again and Dier puts in a pisspoor cross
Former Hammer, Edilimilson Fernandes , down for the Swiss. Vladimir Petkovic getting his replacement ready
He's replaced by Dennis Zakaria.
Freuler wins a corner off of Lindy off a one two.
Corner from Rodriguez easily cleared,
Looks like Shaq has to come off
A big blow for the Swiss as Shaquiri signalling to be substituted. He limps off.
He's replaced by Zuber.
Moreno trying to sell the punters on the idea of the Nations League. That's a hopeless task.
PLONKER....Bob...not Moreno this time
Please tell me that there won't be extra time if this ends 0-0.
So you're agreeing with Moreno, UWS?
Sorry, but I cannot promise you that
Come on England...stop disappointing me
Again...there is a game going on and are talking about another game
Moreno said meaningful friendlies. Is that an oxymoron?
Surely , the Swiss must be favorites as Southgate is bringing on Kyle Walker , so he can gift them some goals.
He's on for former Spurs teammate, Danny Rose.
Rose coming off for Walker...exciting move there
Bring on Wilson
Is he named Walker because he's basically a pedestrian?
Alli finds Sterling..... ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC.... AGAIN... for City...top corner!!
Don't see the point of a straight swap at full back position.
Anything but Sterling ball control as he runs it out of play
Wilson is about to come on
I'd bring off Sterling
I guess his pace can help against a tired Swiss team on warm day. Can't think of another reason.
That's a Sterling decision, Dave.
Sterling heads over a cross from Three First Names. England appealing for a penalty. Nothing doing.
Another good cross by Three First Names... Sterling didn't get it
England want it checked...nothing
Kane off for Wilson
Steve called for that on Thursday
Ignoring
Final roll of the dice from Southgate unless it goes to ET and like for like as Cally Wilson is on for Harry Kane.
Useless attempt of a pass by Delph
Oh - Sterling was nearly on the end of that one. They're appearing for a pen and it will be reviewed by VAR.
Here's the substitution that Gooner was calling for the other day. Callum Wilson on for the last fifteen minutes replacing Kane.
I don't know why I'm always so far behind when I stream on ESPN+. I hate this streaming crap!
Will this go into extra time or straight to pens?
England almost do it again!!!
Another scare at the back, but England get away with it as Maguire passes out of danger
I can't believe Maguire tried to do that!!
Sterling fails with a thru pass
I'm watching on the deuce.
Cher down on a Sonny afternoon . He's had his fair Schaar of knocks this match
Oh - Sterling had a chance to play Wilson in there but he overcooked it.
I was excited about this group of players after Russia and qualifying for this tourney but now I am back to how I normally feel....so depressed
I blame the Nations League for that.
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!! CALLY WILSON GIVES ENGLAND THE LEAD.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
England hit the post again!!
VAR is checking to see if there was a foul... someone went down
I think Wilson pulled back the defender
I dont think it is going to count
Wahay! Of course the goal has just gone in for me a minute behind you lot.
NOT GOING TO COUNT
Great run down the left by Sterling and his cross was headed on to the bar by Sterling and tapped in by Cally Wilson. Being reviewed by VAR . Did Cally Wilson pull Ekanji's arm while scoring?
VAR check there on a supposed push by Wilson.
Players need to know they can't get away with it anymore...why do it
NO GOAL
I HATE VAR.... anything is possibly a foul
You can't celebrate anything anymore
BLOODY HELL ! Second match in a row that England have a had a perfectly good late goal chalked off by VAR
I cannot believe that England are going to have yet another winning goal pulled back by VAR. I hate it!
Akanji fouled by Sterling was supposedly done so by Wilson.
Fans singing.... VAR f**king S**t
Drmic on for Ricardo Rodriguez.
Loved them singing that.
England fans letting VAR know just they think of it. It has to go!
Why didn't Alli jump for that corner
Sterling wins yet another corner. This one has to go in!
Spell of Swiss pressure , but they can't get the shot off.
4 added minutes before extra time
They should go straight to pens
A Barber Shop Quartet of stoppage time minutes, but not in the mood for singing.
USELESS cross by Three First Names!
I agree and for once the announcers do too.
Lawrence: England finally get rid of the Penalty hoodoo... to go and find a bigger one... VAR.
Ben: This is getting ridiculous. It's going to get to the point where nobody will want to celebrate a goal 'just in case' it gets ruled out by VAR. Once that happens, the game is dead.
This will make it four of the last five major tournament matches for England to go to ET.
Talking about singing: Xakha Khan fouls Cally Wilson
Make something of this free kick... Three First Names to take...comes to nothing
Agree with Lawrence.
GET IT OVER
Gomez and Sterling both fail to get it over... GRRRRRR
