Jeez. It was blindingly obvious that we lost control of the game in the second half. We

needed to win, they were happy with a draw. They defended better, and we weren't able to find a way through (until Rashford came on). Ergo they controlled the game. Possession percentages are irrelevant

- We were in total control in the second half. Just didn't create enough. (n/m) (Other Football) - norway, Jun 18, 21:20:16
  - Don't agree. They had more possession, and controlled the pace of the game. They were play (Other Football) - Higher Wrather, Jun 18, 21:25:37
    - they had 37% possession and one shot on target, totally in control (Other Football) - thirsty work, Jun 18, 22:15:09
    - They just sat on the edge of the area for the final 40 minutes tbh. (Other Football) - norway, Jun 18, 21:36:24

        I'm not at all clear (Other Football) - Winged Eel Creosote, Jun 18, 22:04:50
        
        we won? (Other Football) - Tombs, Jun 18, 21:46:32
        
        I was disputing Southgate's analysis. I hope he doesn't really believe that bit. (Other Football) - Higher Wrather, Jun 18, 21:52:51
        
        dunno what else he could have said really (Other Football) - Tombs, Jun 18, 21:56:29
        
        hmmm. we often had 10 men in their half towards the end (Other Football) - Chris Peacock, Jun 18, 21:43:42
        
        Well yes, but that is not control. They were defending their point, and we had 10 men (Other Football) - Higher Wrather, Jun 18, 21:48:57
        
        defending their point doesn't equal control though (Other Football) - CWC, Jun 18, 21:56:50
        
        in fact we had 10 men in their final third on a couple of occasions (n/m) (Other Football) - Chris Peacock, Jun 18, 21:46:35
- they kind of were though, tunisia offered fuck all really (Other Football) - Tombs, Jun 18, 21:16:48
  - Only time Tunisia got out of their half they were offside (n/m) (Other Football) - Ralf Scrampton, Jun 18, 21:19:46
    - Wasn't total control though. (n/m) (Other Football) - Men without hats, Jun 18, 21:29:51
      - It was really (Other Football) - matgore, Jun 18, 21:46:32
