England turned into us with slowing down the ball, not spotting the runs and playing back so Andorra get back to cover.

Edit: And now Kane does a Watkins.

Was just about to say the same. It might be the new grass after all.

Behind the dugout may be deliberate.

Ollie would have scored at least 2 if he was playing instead of Kane.

Not getting the Anderson wankfest either.  It’s Andorra for pity’s sake.

They give us a game after 20 years and it’s mighty Andorra, so no surprise.

He isn't having to do much defensively, but from a distribution centre-mid he seems to be doing decent against a team playing 11 behind the ball

God knows why the commentators think Burn is a ball player of Beckenbauers quality for (they think he can pick out the runs of Eze and Madueke). Even Andorra are aware that if he has the ball they leave it with him as he can't do anything with it.

Burn controlling things and picking out passes like prime Pirlo.
