England v Brazil

England 0-0 Brazil

A second 0-0 draw in succession for England in their final games at Wembley Stadium in 2017, but as with Friday’s match with Germany, there was no shortage of entertainment for a lively crowd of over 84,000. With a steady samba beat coming from a large Brazilian presence throughout the game and both sets of fans unable to take their eyes off the action for fear of missing something special, the game was just shy of a goal or two to give it more. And how special it could’ve been for debutant Dom Solanke, who almost won it for England when he was picked out by fellow sub Ashley Young at the far post only to be denied by a fine block from Brazil keeper Allison in the dying stages.
