FT: England 3-0 Wales
Wales thrashed by England at Wembley.
Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Bukayo Saka with the goals - all in the first half.
Poor performance by Wales. Expected to lose but didn't help ourselves.
Next up is a huge game against Belgium at CCS on Monday.

3 nil as predicted, although I didn't expect that scoreline after 20 mins. A vast improvement required for the next game.

Belgium will hammer us Monday, so many things wrong with Bellamys in game management tonight, just hoping the cardiff five all come back Tuesday in full health

First half was terrible a no show .second half much better but they had already won the game by half time .
Press didn't work and we invited so much preasure .
Stupid game to play against one of the best teams in the world really.
A reality check for us .Belgium will now believe that little bit more now after that.
Don't no what we achieved by playing them baffled

England took their foot off the pedal second half, but I thought we looked better when Jordan James came on.
He should start on Monday.
Of course it was a disappointing display and result, but we should learn from the mistakes ahead of facing Belgium.
It should also give Belamy a better idea of his team for Monday and how to set the team up.
I think that could give us a better chance of getting some sort of result other than defeat against Belgium.

It’s the way we lost. We were lucky England took their foot off the gas in the second half. Terrible performance. We will get hammered by Belgium.

Much better analysis of situation than some of the other reactions.

England delivered another exciting attacking display to outclass an out-of-sorts Wales and stroll to victory in a friendly at Wembley.
Head coach Thomas Tuchel kept faith with the squad that secured the best win of his reign when beating Serbia 5-0 in the World Cup qualifier in Belgrade in September - and they delivered in style once more.
England ran Wales ragged in the opening stages, establishing a three-goal lead inside only 20 minutes.
Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers built on his excellent display in Serbia by turning home the opening goal from Marc Guehi's cross after three minutes, with club team-mate Ollie Watkins making the most of his chance to deputise for injured captain Harry Kane by doubling England's lead from close range eight minutes later.
Bukayo Saka then became Arsenal's highest England goalscorer with a spectacular strike, curled high past Wales keeper Karl Darlow with his left foot. It was his 13th goal for his country.
Rogers also hit the woodwork after the break and, while Wales improved as England's tempo dropped, this was a routine and impressive win for Tuchel's side.
The Three Lions now move on to face Latvia in their next World Cup qualifier in Riga on Tuesday while Wales host Belgium in Cardiff on Monday.

It took England 180 mins to score 3 against Andorra!
Still they put 5 on Serbia so we need to put it behind us and move on
