Afternoon, chaps - I hope that you're having a brilliant week. Believe it or not this is only the 17th time that England have played the Republic. How is that possible?
The team news out of Wemberley tonight:
England: Pope, James, Keane, Maguire, Mings, Saka, Mount, Winks, Grealish, Sancho, Calvert-Lewin. Subs: Dean Henderson, Rice, Abraham, Maitland-Niles, Bellingham, Foden, Kane, Dier, Chilwell, Jordan Henderson, Pickford.
Rep of Ireland: Randolph, Doherty, Duffy, Egan, O’Dowda, Christie, Hourihane, Hendrick, Horgan, Idah, Browne. Subs: Travers, Brady, McClean, Long, Collins, Maguire, O’Shea, Curtis, Molumby, Kelleher.
Referee: Carlos Del Cerro (Spain).
I was hoping to have a look at this Jude Bellingham kid at Dortmund, but I'm not disappointed to see Saka start, as well as Graelish. Time to put up mate.
Godo afternoon, Bob. Here top join you for a biud day of matches. Watching Serbia vs the Scots on the Deuce. The winner will be in England's group this summer. Will be getting ready to watch the match from Wembley on Plus
Good Afternoon, Steve. Perhaps Bellingham will come on as a sub,. Great to see Saka and Grealish
Teams coming out of the tunnel out Wembley
Milenkovic booked for the Serbs
I hope so David. I was very impressed that as a very young man, he recognized how well Dortmund develops young players.
I want a positive England performance and a convincing win.
Teams walking out. C'mon England!
Long range free kick from Andy Robertson easily saved by the keeper
Teams are out on the pitch enjoying the anthems.
North Macedonia is the 21st team in the 2021 Euros after a 0-1 win in Georgia. Ali will be the Leeds representative
Hiya, guys - thanks for dropping by this afternoon. I have a feeling that Dave is watching the golf today - he has a healthy disdain for this kind of "meaningless" friendly. ;-)
Siggy gives Iceland the lead in Budapest in a Nation's League playoff final
I had to check if the Irish had named a leprechaun in their starting XI. It's evidently Daryl Horgan of Wycombe but if I were facing him, I'd capture him just to make sure I didn't miss out on a bowl of lucky stars, clovers, etc.
THought Dave would be here for the match. The golf should be similar to an NL match
Moment's silence for Nobby Stiles
As long as you are updating with other matches, please do not reveal what's happening in the US vs Wales match. Thanks.
LOL, Steve! did you see him on a box of Lucky Charms? How about the four leaf clover?
No I won't . I'm watching later today too. I think it's being played at the Liberty
Right then - we're set to go now that the preliminaries are done.
Just peep the guy and see if I'm wrong.
Yeah - no spoilers on that one, for sure.
Slovakia takes the lead in Belfast in an NL playoff Final
The USA lads getting a rarebit run-out in Wales then, eh?
(That pun was just for you, David - I know you're a fan. Boom boom!)
Don't like the idea of England wearing blue. They should be wearing their traditional colors while Ireland should be wearing green
Nice one , Bob.
BOOM BOOM!
Crikey - Horgan is a bit, shall we say, diminutive.
Yeah, every kit these days is blue or black. Nike, Adidas, Puma, and Umbro designers could do worse than invest in a Pantone wheel or two.
Teasing cross in there by Saka. Wins a corner.
Saka with a cross cleared for a corner
Horgan's snacks are magically delicious.
Decent delivery by Mount and Keane nearly got to it. He's a threat from set pieces, for sure.
Eagan down after heading out a mounted corner for another
Egan's down for the count after that clash. As he plays for the Blades, I can't say that I'm sympathetic.
Oh - clever one there from Mount, flicked on by Sancho and Mings might have done better!
Mings should have had that on target at least.
Corner mounted in and Sancho scoops across the corner and Mings heads over from a couple of yards out
LOL, Bob. Eagan put to the sword
Lukic just wide with a long range shot for the Serbs. Not sure of his first name, but I don't think it's John
Not sure if the USMNT playing in Swansea is an innovative idea. We thought of that over forty years ago
Ian Darke wants to give updates on the match at Swansea. He really has a Darke side and deserves to be booted to the DArke side of the moon
Alan Browne wins an Ireland free kick just outside the England box
Free kick chance now for the Irish...
Cleared out by Nick Pope. Big night for him.
Nick Pope punches away the free kick from Harahan , but a foul is called
Egan's down again - might have to come off.
John Eagan down again. No sympathy from Bob
O'Shei comes on for the departing Egan.
Eagan's match is done and will be replaced by Dara O'Shea, of the Baggies
Not one jot, David - I hope he's out for a few weeks!
Egan's got a TKO and leaves the pitch. Daragh O'Shea of the Bilic infected Baggies on.
John McGinn with a shot for the Scots. Tame effort fumbled by the Serb keeper, but gathered immediately
Too much whistle from the Spanish ref in the first 15 minutes.
Any vaccines for the Bilic infection?
Oh, Saka unlucky.
Darrren Randolph misjudged a cross from Reese James then blocked a close range shot from Saka for a corner
Maguire with a pretty easy header. Was that Horgan challenging him for that?
GOAL ! HARRY MAGUIRE HEADS ENGLAND INTO THE LEAD. CORNER HEADED OUT THEN A CROSS INTO THE BOX AND IN THE WINK OF AN EYE ENGLAND LEADS
Yes! Harry Maguire with the opener for England. He needed that one to boost his confidence in a difficult time of his career. Southgate's loyalty paid off.
1-0 England!
I think Shane Duffy was challenging. Not sure though
That Spanish ref is of the Mike Dean school of officiating
Now we need to kick on while we've got the momentum. I'd like another goal or two by half-time.
WOW ! The last time these two teams didn't draw each other was that famous Irish win in Euro 88
Ah - Grealish had a chance to prance forward there but he made a hash of it.
Agreed Bob. This Ireland is no Charlton's World Cup squad. That Möterhead roady bloke for Newcastle is capped tonight.
Harry Kane looks to have a bit of a chill on the bench
Serb keeper looks like the loser in a bar fight, or so says the shiner he has
Oh - DCL was in there but Duffy got there in the nick of time with a crucial block. Corner.
DCL with a close range shot blocked by Shane Duffy for a corner
Corner taken a header from Maguire headed over by Randolph
Again - the target is Slaphead who makes the keeper Randolph tip over.
Irish coach's pitchside instructions. https://youtu.be/gN3Msg5DpEQ
Corner headed away then Ida heads out for another
The England corners are really racking up now.
Jack Grealish wins a corer off of Cyrus christie
It's 0-0 at the half in Belgrade
I will have to watch that at the half, Steve. Thanks for posting
Just had a peek at your clip, Steve. Hilarious! You should share that one with our man Shaz on FB.
DCL wins a corner off of Shane Duffy
GOL SNACHO PUTS ENGLAND TWO UP
Yes! Sancho adds the second. Another England bad boy who needed a goal tonight.
2-0!
great skill by Sancho cutting inside then scored with a great finish
I think I did share that with Shazza. All things of that subject always.
Very composed finish from Sancho. He's class, no kidding.
Yeah - just have to keep Jaden under lock and key during the pandemic, eh?
Ahh, Sancho odds on to have put away his second. But, another corner.
Great block by Cyrus Christie from Jack Grealish for a corner
The corners are mounting as England now wins one off of Jeff Hendrick
Naughty by Dara O'Shea on DCL. Should have been booked
The second half is underway from Belgrade
Total dominance by England in this first half - very satisfying outing so far. I'd like to see a goal or two more in the second half just to confirm that dominance.
A pair of stoppage time minutes
Oh what on earth was Grealish thinking there - hit it!
Oh - now Mings flashes a drive just wide. When Mings is taking pot shots from 12 yards out, you know that England are in control.
Long range shot from Mings just wide after a couple of England shots were blocked
England deservedly two up at the half
SCOTLAND TAKE THE LEAD just as I get home!!
If the Scots hold on....they will be in the same group as Czech Rep, Croatia and ENGLAND
BTW, the Deuce is well behind 5Live too!
Where is the Wales/USA match being shown?
Don't give away the US vs Wales match please.
Good afternoon, Dave. Great goal with two Celtic players combining, but horrible defensive error from the Serbs
We're watching that one this evening on FS1
N. Ireland are behind at home in the other playoff final
All the away teams have either won or winning in the four of them
Hungary 0 Iceland 1
N. Ire 0 Slovakia 1
Serbia 0 Scotland 1
Georgia 0 No Macedonia 1 FT
Good. Less said the better.
No Problem.... I remember your text
I just didn't know when it was on.... BTW.... the score is 12-12 after 6 minutes.....ooops....sorry
Have you all had buffering issues on the Plus today?
Nice picture on your account Steve
Now it is 15-15!!
I am only just on Plus....still a commercial
Thanks. Still trying to recover the other account but this quick-fix will work for now.
Drives me nuts...England wearing blue at home....against Ireland in white
WHITE AND GREEN DON'T CLASH.....bloody $$$$
Doesn't that facade still exist ?
Is England back for you guys yet...it should be
Finally
It is back
United's Henderson coming on for Pope
Bless him
Back on for the second half then. Dean Henderson has replaced Nick Pope in goal.
Grealish goes just wide....wider than I thought
England haven't beaten RoI since 1985!!!
Scotland 25 minutes away from their first Tournament since France '98!
In our youth, they were the only one of the Home Nations to make any tourneys!!
Scots last major tournament was WC 1998. Now just over twenty minutes away
Oh - Saka was a bit greedy there and might have laid it off to DCL who was lurking.
Just wide..... take with the other foot!
Welcome, Dave - how's the golf going? ;-)
OH! Into the side netting by Saka . Nice run and pass by Grealish and nice flick by Mings , his Villa teammate
Serbs nearly tie it up. Shot into the side netting
Just went up to Tom's room...thru Xbox... Tom has four screen showing on his TV!!
He has Scotland bottom right with sound
England bottom left
Golf top right
Golf top left
Christie goes just wide
Come on you JOCKS
Not watching it yet
I hope you're not watching Scotland...it is not allowed
Grealish trying to be too cute inside the box....he's got to stop that....Gareth won't like that
McTom plays in the back with Scotland sometimes.... I have said...he should be there with United
Scotland still pushing...which is the right thing to do
In previous matches... Scotland couldn't get a shot on goal
Pen to England
PENALTY ENGLAND. STONEWALL PENALTY AS CYRUS CHRISTIE TRIPPED SAKA
C-L to take.....THREE NIL
Clinical pen
goal !!! great pen from dcl as he puts it in the upper 90 sending randolph the wrong way
Wow! What a great penalty!
That's it for me today, chaps - I'm off to set up my class.
Every pen should be taken like that!!
Slightly better than Fulham's last second one at West Ham
England well worth their three goal lead. I don't think a five goal lead would flatter them
Take care Bob
England trying to pass too much in box....BLOODY PEP!
intricate....intricrap
Mitrovic nearly ties it up for the Serbs. Header just wide going off the stanchion
Cheers, Bob. Enjoy the rest of the day. Look forward to chatting this weekend
So wish England had beaten Denmark last time out!
Of course.... Bob doesn't give two hoots
Both teams with lots of substitutions
Phil Foden for Grealish
Teams making multiple changes
Foden and A-M-N on
Mings and Grealish off
Maitland Niles for Mings
M-N with an atrocious attempt of a cross
C-L won't be getting a hat-trick... replaced by Tammy A
Tammy Abraham for DCL.
Like for like as McBURRRnie on for Lyndon Dykes
What is with all these hyphen names these days
PEA, TAA, DCL, AMN.... pick a name and stick with it!
Not liking the England line up right now.... TOO MANY LONDONERS!!
ooh....header just wide...in both matches!!
Maguire should have scored.... Serbia miss a bullet header
I loved his only goal before tonight.... WC18... Quarter Final
Nor Ire need a goal at home to Slovakia...same time as the Scotland match
Saka wins am England corner
Wow... a player coming on..... with a mustache
Northern Ireland equalize!!!! OG.... 3 minutes to go
OH! Nice cross from Sancho off the short corner and Maitland Niles wide open from a few yards out and it goes off him for a goal kick
WOW ! That one is going to ET and both teams will be allowed a sixth sub if it goes to ET
Hungary ties it up vs Iceland and that one looks like going to ET
Serbs better not tie it up
Hungary has equalized at home to Iceland
Let them play extra time there
England host Iceland next midweek
BLOODY HELL.... SERBIA HAVE SCORED!
TYPICAL SCOTLAND
bugger! serbs tie it up with a header off a corner just before the start of stoppage time. now 1-1
MARK HIM UP!!
Henderson with a kick save
Strange save
Kick save by Dean Henderson by Alan Browne
They were only a couple of minutes away!!
Hungary takes a late 2-1 lead vs Iceland in stoppage time
Scotland won on pens in the semi vs Israel
Extra time here!
On comes Bellingham...I don't know why he is playing...he only got in the squad a day or so ago...just give out caps to anyone
It's going to ET in Belgrade as it's 1-1
It will be interesting to see how he plays.
HEY JUDE! . oNLY SEVENTEEN!
I hate all the changes that Scotland made...it was to hold out!
Why not play the same way....now you don't have as good a team as you had on... and you need another goal....or hold on for pens
No Ire hit the post in the 90th minute!
ET in Belfast too. Northern Ireland 1 Slovakia 1. Northern Ireland defeated Bosnia on Pens in the semis
Et underway on Belgrade
Hungary came from behind with two late goals to defeat Iceland 2-1. Iceland were frozen out at the end
Decent effort from a distance from Jack....the Jock
Just over by Ryan Jack as Rajkovic punched away the corner from Andy Robertson
Did you see the shiner sported by the Serb keeper. The loser in a pub brawl?
Didn't see it
Serbs have a shot deflected for a corner. Scots need to mark up this time
Serbs win another corner as Andy Robertson clears
Steve Clark blew it with all the changes.... I never understand why managers change what is working....tired shmired..... they could have lasted the full 90!!
I remember last season at Bramall Lane...United two down... score three....make changes and concede !
Corner headed out then David MArshall turns around a long range shot
I agree with you about the changes. At least keep Lyndon Dykes on. The Serbs couldn't deal with him
Maguire heads wide off the corner from Reese James
Another Serb chance and just wide with a long range shot
A pair of stoppage time minutes at Wembley
Ht for Scotland...not looking good
It's HT of T in Belgrade and still 1-1
And England win 3-0
It's over at Wembley and England easily win 3-0
Belgium and Iceland up next... in two games that Bob is not allowed to watch....are you dissing the NL...if so....you're banned too
Last two spots.... will they both be host nations? Will it be one? Will it be none?
T T really annoys me....too talkative...too much crap
Back for the remaining few minutes . Slovakia takes a late 1-2 lead in Belfast
Agreed. He thinks he's most knowledgeable person in the history of footie
Bugger... No Ire fall behind again
With no fans...you can really hear all the screaming of the little girls...I mean the men footballers
Why did McGinn come off... moronic
One added minuted to extra time
and they have a corner.... not a good omen
It's those changes from Steve Clarke that may come back to haunt the Scots. A minute of stoppage time
