Half-time: Colombia 0-0 England England comes close!! Lingard plays a ball down the right for Trippier on the overlap and he sends in a deep cross. Kane is at the far post and he cranes his neck to get the header on target. It’s too high for the English skipper and he deposits the ball over the net.
England has a free kick. As the wall is assembled the players get into a tussle. Replays show that Barrios was headbutting Henderson who like Suarez clutches his head and goes down. Yellow card for Barrios.
Half-Time: This has been a dull half of football. The chances have been far and few. Scores are level and everything to play for in the 2nd half!
England started brightly but lost their way a bit as Colombia fought their way back into it. Openings have been sparse and tempers are rising. A bit team-talk required here from both managers.
Southgate might consider removing Alli, for starters. Also, there are about 200 messages in my inbox demanding that I stress how shameful/embarrassing/unsuccessful Henderson’s reaction to that head-touch by Barrios was.
