England 1 - 0 Uruguay [85']
James Garner makes his England debut at Wembley tonight against Uruguay in a pre-World Cup friendly.
G arner was taking the corners in the first half and putting in some decent deliveries. But England were mostly tentative playing the maddening backwards, sideways, forwards, sideways, backwards rubbish that is so hard to watch in the Premier League.
Half-Time: 0 - 0
Garner got few meaningful touches in the second half and was subbed by Barnes after 68 minutes.
Calvert-Lewin missed an absolute sitter from just three yards out, a beautiful curling delivery... probably a bit much for the former Everton striker to handle.
Ben White gave England the lead from a corner. But VAR persuaded the referee to give Uruguay a very late penalty for nothing more than a coming together as two players challenged for a ball off the ground. Trafford failed to save the spot-kick.
England: Trafford, Livramento, Tomori, Maguire, Spence, Henderson, Garner, Foden, Madueke, Rashford, Solanke.
Subs: Ramsdale, Pickford, Steele, Hall, Wharton, Stones, Palmer, White, Mainoo, Calvert-Lewin, Barnes, Bowen.
Uruguay: Muslera, R Araujo, Ugarte, De Arrascaeta, Varela, Canobbio, Valverde, Olivera, M Araujo, Piquerez, Aguirre.
Subs: Rochet, Mele, Gimenez, Caceres, Sanabria, De La Cruz, Martinez, Nunez, Pellistri, Vina, Rodriguez, Vinas, Torres, Rodriguez.

"James Garner's first involvement a corner kick” says the commentator.
Jimmy had already played a nice ball to his left mid, a dangerous hanging cross into the box and got fouled on the ball, leading to a Foden free kick.
Are they instructed to avoid naming Everton players??
He's playing well, our boy!

Did I just see Henderson has the captain's armband??
Fuck me, I should make a comeback if he's good enough to captain England! And I'm 67.

The boy's playing well and hit 3 cracking corners.

Any feeds for this game?
I have Fubo but they have now got DAZN in their folder and want extra money to watch this game.
Posted 27/03/2026 at 20:23:05
Bill, it's on ITV 1 or ITVX
Posted 27/03/2026 at 20:23:10
Shit load of players who have never played together before produce a disjointed peformance, who'd have thought it eh?
Posted 27/03/2026 at 20:23:40
Dixon is being quite positive towards Jimmy's play so far...
Posted 27/03/2026 at 20:24:44
That Bielsa is a weirdo!

James Garner is the only one with any idea.
He is making some good runs but instead of picking him out they would rather pass back.

Thank you, George.
Problem is... I live in Canada.

Bill, have you tried a VPN, like Unlocator VPN or Nord VPN?

I don't usually watch England, but because Jimmy Garner is playing thought I would make the effort.
I shouldn't have bothered... it's awful, although Jimmy is doing well.
Posted 27/03/2026 at 20:45:55
If Everton played like England, the Hill Dickinson would be half-empty.
It's awful. Apart from Rashford.

Load of players who haven't played together before, what do you expect. Brazil 1970?
Pointless these games, the manager should know how good a player is. The players are playing against the world's best each week in the Premier League at a higher tempo with much more at stake.
Playing against the likes of Japan or Andorra to prove you're an international footballer is utter bollocks.

A mishmash of an England team but Garner is as good as anyone and better than Henderson who somehow got the captaincy armband. Don't know how because he is finished at International level.
Solanke is poor and so is Spence but they do play for London clubs and that gives them the edge in getting selected.

Need to take the blue-tinted specs off tonight.
Garrner had been really quiet, too much backwards and sideways, not showing the confidence he has in a Blue shirt
Posted 27/03/2026 at 21:15:15
Garner has been impeccable in a very unadventurous England side.
Now come ON Dom!
Posted 27/03/2026 at 21:24:13
Dirty Uruguayian fuckers, nothing changes
Posted 27/03/2026 at 21:25:06
Sitter
Posted 27/03/2026 at 21:27:47
Oh DCL
Posted 27/03/2026 at 21:27:52
What a miss by Calvert-Lewin!
Laid on a plate. But it was always the service that was lacking, eh?
Nowt to do with his abundance of skill... My arse.
Posted 27/03/2026 at 21:42:12
Ugarte two yellows and stays on? WTF
Posted 27/03/2026 at 21:43:42
Fifa are such a bunch of crooks.
Wembley already half-empty at 90 minutes, with 5 minutes added.
Posted 27/03/2026 at 21:54:19
DOM misses a sitter
White booed onto the pitch then scores
Then gives away the pen they didnt deserve.
Well sign White, wont we?
IF Everton played like England I wouldnt go.
Posted 27/03/2026 at 21:57:38
Theres no way I can properly describe the excitement of that game.
So I wont try.
Posted 27/03/2026 at 22:08:51
Tony Hughes.. Laughable comment at best. He played about as well as he could, surrounded by rubbish. Especially Henderson. How the is he still around ?
