Difficult first half hour for us tonight but I always felt we could catch the Senegalese on the break with our quality and pace. Senegal were very susceptible on the break because they had 6 players in attacking positions at times which is suicidal when your opposition boasts the quality that we do. England just needed to find a way to unlock the door and we did with 2 excellent goals.
Jude Bellingham looks an unbelievable footballer. The way he set up those first two goals was sheer class, especially the second England goal. Imo it was world class play was that second goal, how Bellingham took the ball out of defence with authority and control, jinked and put Foden in to set up Kane was midfield play of the highest order- wonderful to watch.
Phil Foden also contributed very well. He is growing into the England fold very nicely. Harry Kane is showing his quality too. He's having a very solid tournament and his quality and tenacity in holding the ball up is an underrated commodity because the emphasis is always on goals where he's concerned. A mention too for Henderson who looks a key part of the squad and a great leader. Deccan Rice also had his best game of the tournament tonight too.
France is gonna be a chance for our lads to show how good they are. Business end of the tournament now boys. These are the games you want to be involved in. Looking forward to it.
