Was at the game today.
Got a beer in an offie on Wembley Way where the guy behind me, wearing an England shirt, was moaning about the prices for beers set by ‘these Middle Eastern C***s’. But I’m sure any booing of the knee he did was entirely motivated by an opposition to Marxism.
I’m not sure how it came across on the telly, but it felt at Wembley like the booing of the knee was drowned out by applause from the decent fans in attendance. And what a performance from England - after months of watching League One standard players, and with no disrespect to them whatsoever, it was genuinely astonishing to see the quality with which the game can be played. Not inspiring, but the kind of solid performances that win you tournaments.
Modric MOTM btw. What a player.
