Hello everybody and welcome back to the Football Vision podcast.

Today was a real eye-opener after we saw one of the tournament favorites take center stage

with a fantastic performance which only strengthened their standing heading into match day three.

Spain were pretty good too.

For today's episode, I'm delighted to welcome Alex Moneypenny, who you can find on Twitter at Amon Football, in addition to talking all things Arsenal on his YouTube channel, The Different Knock. What a lovely tribute to Rao San Yeh, that is, by the way. Alex, welcome to the show. How's it going? He's just gone to Miami, isn't he? I saw that the other day.

He has. He has. Maybe they'll have a different knock as well. I hope not. Mate, pleasure to be here. Thank you so much for inviting me. I really appreciate it. No, pleasure. Really good to have you on. We were just speaking before. We've kind of been chatting every now and again on Twitter. so it's nice to finally put a face to the name.

And I think there's only one place to start, really, and it's nice to finally put a face to the name.

And I think there's only one place to start, really, and that's with England.

A quiet day, I would say.

A quiet day at the office for England.

No talking points.

Everything was easy.

Yeah, no.

I feel like Thanos, whenever England play, you know, people complaining about Gareth Southgate, hating players from, from rival club sides, perfectly balanced, as all

things should be. Players may vary, of course, but there is a recurring constant. And unfortunately

for the manager, he is that constant constant and i would say running out of

excuses on paper it's not even a terrible result for england but the performances kind of speak for

themselves firstly against Serbia and now today against Denmark it's been a steady progression

or actually i should say decline kind of getting to this point and it's been a steady progression, or actually I should say decline, kind of getting to this

point. And it's kind of ludicrous that a team of this talent and quality is performing the way

that it is. It should be far more tactically adept, far more technically coherent, but even the

amount of basics that weren't even being done correctly in this game were, you know, it was shocking.
