Glad to see a back three - but why is Trippier starting on the left again when he has been so poor there and keeps drifting inside all the time? Joe Gomez should be in for Trippier in a flat back four and I'm not convinced by Trippier on the left side in any formation. Or maybe I've read it wrong and Trippier will be on the right in front of Walker?

I decided to open a bottle of my most favourite wine on the first England Euro match. Therefore I need to open the same bottle of wine for every England match... So wearing the top is essential

Ok, I've just looked properly at the formation (rather than just the line up list!) and I stand corrected in that I see Trippier is indeed on the right, in front of Walker. I still don't understand it - why has he put Trippier there instead of Alexander-Arnold?

Cone on England!

Come on, England - please let's see us play today in the way that we ought to with the calibre of players we have! ⚽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Would love to know why Palmer is not starting

I have just seen this and I have already put it on 🤞

Loving the wine!

Top is on.

DD is going to make cocktails at half time 🍸

Bloody hell. Palmer not starting again!!!!!

Saka is putting the passes in

Want to see more movement from Kane though.

Sala’s best game by a country mile

I was mainlining parma violets v Slovakia - I have multiple rolls next to me now! Might need to make myself a very large pitcher glass of Pimms at half time.

I have no idea what mainlining parma violets is but is sounds more interesting than this game

Back to the goalkeeper from a corner. Thank goodness I'm not English! Also if they are playing wing backs why isn't Gordon doing the job instead of Trippier?

Blatant handball then - the Swiss got away with one big time there, as it would have been a very dangerous position for a free kick.

Mainoo over Gallagher all day

Backward passing is silly now. It’s been highlighted and yet they still do it

😂😂I have a minor addiction at the mo to those cheap Swizzels parma violet sweets that some say taste like sweet chalk crossed with soap!

Mainlining 😂 haven't heard that for years.

I am so going to be bringing that back. (How I would phrase things when I last used mainlining)

Me and my DD will fight to the death over Parma Violets. It's why I wont buy anything with them in.

Ah, sweets, that explains it. I thought they were flowers

How about a drinking game - every time England pass backwards, DRINK! Guaranteed we'll all be legless by half time!

How many backpasses was that just now
