Joe Cole - he basically said there are people better qualified to discuss "geopolitics" than England fans booing Henderson.

I thought that might be the case, but I couldn't get my head around him talking about geopolitics.

Joe cole said 'geopolitics?'
Was he trying to say an Italian name?

Booed in the minute’s silence for the dead. And booed Italian national anthem. Just pathetic behaviour to be honest.

Much as I hate to say it, Sarfgate is probably right in playing two DMs, especially given that useless lump Maguire is behind them.

Left back at Roma I think. gio not geo
I'm not sure what they expected. The moment of silence was for "lives lost among the European football family" which includes Israel but not Gaza. It seemed like a weirdly specific message when they could've said something much more general (especially if the reports that Israel has just killed 500+ civilians by bombing a hospital are true).

I'm fairly sure Geopolitics is when our Gio tells Spurs he is fit to play for Argentina but has been limping around Hotspur Way for the past 6 months.

Did not notice their wording. Backtracking on the FA’s more balanced statement.

I love Gary’s outfit. Like he’s asked his mum for the Miami vice look and instead she’s knitted him a Tshirt and give him his grandads old suit jacket.

Yep. It's the games against teams we should easily beat where it's an issue.

Same old then. Trippier at left back, Pickford and Maguire start. So creative Southgate. Looking forward to the triumphs of the Euros.
Yeah the message on the big screen specifically mentioned Sweden and Israel. It seemed deliberately antagonistic, like they've gone too far the other way after the criticism of their decision not to light up Wembley in Israel's colours the other day.

Looks like Udogie is playing LB when Italy attack but LCB when defending.
Terrible pass to him for the booking.
One of those games where while I want England to win I would love Udogie to be MoTM.

It would be interesting to know if the wording of the minute’s silence was drafted by the FA or UEFA. It was very naive to think the crowd would be fine with it, and it’s shame because a more general statement would’ve led to a well observed silence.
