Should be 2, Stanfield should've had a tap in but just didn't put a foot out.

Strong 1st half, 2 zip could have been 3.

I like Elliott, if we are interested I'd see him as a replacement for McGinn, he's playing in a very similar role here.

2-0 after it looked like the chance might have gone. Stansfield actually did quite well to hold the ball up in the build up. He reminds me a bit of role Emile Heskey used to play gor the senior team - non-scoring striker.

Edit: To illustrate the point he missed a sitter shortly afterwards which turned out to be offside anyway.

Unstoppable header, needed to do better defending out wide, you can't turn your back like that.

With this front pair we have to stop them getting crosses in.

Stansfield showing he's a third division striker defending by allowing that cross to come in.

Cracking header, but up to then, England have dominated the match with some superb counter attacking, could have had 3 or 4.

2-2 and the bottle job is on. In case anyone doubted that English blood runs through these players' veins.

Nobody gives a fuck about watching global powerhouse Chelsea. Their game with Benfica in N.Carolina in front of a very sparse crowd.

England look like they put too much into the first half, a few looking quite leggy now.
