That's a belter. Seems like it's only available in their club shop though, any Bahia based Villa fans on here..?

Never understood the hype over Depay. Wijnaldum hasn't turned up today either.

Don't mind that being a red tbh, zero intent to play the ball. It's not even a tactical foul it's just pure petulance.

Bottom of the group North Macedonia's Alioski with the second highest rating of the entire group stage behind only Kevin De Bruyne. Klich (again from a team bottom of their group) also makes it into the midfield with a higher rating than tournament top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo. Anyone guess what they have in common?

I don’t know why this doesn’t get pointed out more often. Considering how much time Gareth’s spent watching Leeds and harping on about pressing England are incredibly passive. Jack’s just being smart, he probably looks around at the lack of an organised press and decides he’s better off saving his energy.

I never thought I'd celebrate a Raheem Sterling goal so enthusiastically. **** get it Jack.

I think a poor performance/result tonight and the knives will come out. Lineker and Klinsmann in particular were quite critical of his coaching style during the HT analysis of the Belgium game yesterday. Lineker essentially said our performances so far are a reflection of the manager’s personality (pint of water anyone?).

They got one yellow card. But I admit I was surprised that was their first considering how they play.

I think he'll rotate in the next game, Jack will play and we'll win because he's irrepressible but not convincingly because it's still a Southgate team, then he'll revert to a back five against Germany with Slabhead in for Mings and Walker at RCB and we'll go out with a whimper having maybe scored from a corner. Media will put the blame on Maguire/Henderson not being fit, Kane being out of form, or we just always lose against the Germans. Gareth will keep his job and we'll line up exactly the same at the World Cup only he'll bring Eric Dier back in for his 'tournament experience' and leave Sancho out because he hasn't played at a big tournament.

They're having fun, I'm having fun, the football is great, the passion is there, and the suits.. I think I've been won over by this Italy team. I'm definitely envious of their fans, at least.

Now joined at the bottom by Jermaine Jenas. If Carlsberg did league tables..

I like watching this Italy side. They play like I imagine a team of 11 Matty Cash would play.

I can't see us actually signing him but it's a great bit of marketing by the club.

Lawro coming 16th of 16 in his own prediction feature was just the start my day needed.

Danny Murphy with some great tactical nous there. Spain should bring on Traore (the only player he's actually seen play) to run in behind Sweden's low block.

He seems to be of the opinion he's coming back: https://www.goal.com/en-tza/news/samatta-how-aston-villa-will-receive-after-fenerbahce-loan/161udn6oxeq3p1ioawu0aa1eir?fbclid=IwAR0Lj9ZAOctGRU1GEhtRKw_YO0CAZsvsSDJjyIMcK7if2yQDNjhOhDgDaxg

Course it is, 'be a good team mate'.

If 6 eggs were 40p and 1 litre of milk was 40p you might think the eggs were better value too, but they're not going to help you if you're trying to make a cup of tea.

Shame for Ezri, he could've declared for Portugal and he'd be going to the Euros to play alongside Dias, as it is our coaches don't think he's good enough to play alongside Harry Maguire.

Brilliant noise from the fans. Kids must be loving it.

Anyone ever seen these two in a room together? Save some space for me on that hill..

Still haven't forgiven Ryan Mason for this.

How is that any different to Cash on Kane in the last game?
