Cant wait to hear Southgates spin on this

All in all though IF England get the "easy passage" to the semis again and then bomb out in that the two Southgate tournaments have been nothing to shout home about ffs
|

By:
England playing for 2nd in the group to avoid a tricky run to the final.....is it 2018 again!!
|
|
By:
If England come 3rd ,they out?
|
|
By:
And their knighting some of the c*ntz
Semi Finals and getting knighted ffs, what a country eh |
|
By:
yea, it's a masterplan by the waistcoat, finish 2nd and avoid Germany/Portugal.

If they were any good and knew it they wouldn't be bothered by Germany ffs
But they ain't and they wont |

Sontara, all joking apart, I love your passion for your country, and you insight.
Good luck to you and your country. We ( Scotland ) can't win it but you still can so good luck. And keep the passion and banter going. ![]() |

No, 4pts enough to go through already

By:
tactically...... They're at a disadvantage because they've got Southgate
|

By:
We will go out in the last 16 to sweden on pens

By:
Scotland played really well. It wasn't pretty, but they did their jobs magnificently, and could even have won it.
|
|
By:
they will beat sweden
|

By:
It can only get better England
![]() Falling from grace is character building |
|
By:
Croatia might have played the blinder
![]() Finish 3rd and get the easier last 16 without even breaking sweat in the group games |

they should remove all the mbes off them services to twitter is silly

By:
Gary Neville it was tactics
|
|
By:
England have two out of form strikers plus another who would be better off delivering food parcels.
Grealish who is being put forward as a saviour spent most of the second half of the season running up blind alleys and that's what he is still doing when he comes on. |

If Spain can't break the swedes down we have no chance

Scotland played really well. It wasn't pretty, but they did their jobs magnificently, and could even have won it. Unlucky . Congratulations |

By:
Spain have Morata - thats why they didnt break down the swedes..... Kane might not be sharp, but he isnt as hit as morata
|
|
By:
We looked very leggy in the 2nd half....big worry.
|
|
By:
Are they likely to get Sweden? That would be a good draw, Sweden are a poor side, imo.
|
|
By:
England keep another clean sheet....... wow... amazing feat playing inferior sides with 6 negative players out of 10
|
|
By:
We haven't got the creativity to break down Sweden, even with this spain being a shadow of its former self to withstand their intense probing for 90 minutes takes some doing.
England can't play that way, i will feel a lot easier for the swedes against us. |

The English town of LEEK has cancelled plans to accommodate a singalong walkthrough of English fans. A spokesman said that the vindaloo was a bit off tonight!

As runners up England would play runners up in Sweden group in Copenhagen.
Could well be vs Spain though. |
|
By:
These high profile players need top prem style manager. Its why Hodgson didn't work and why he didn't work at Liverpool. stick him in at Fulham and Palace though, voila, works a charm. Crapello too old, the man before that and etc.
|
|
By:
tobes,
That would be very uncomfortable, Southgate would play a 9 1 formation. |
|
By:
interesting to hear Kane getting a bit of a kicking from the pundits but when you have so little quality of ball to him, not quite sure where he's going to effect the game...he's at his best playing as an old school striker, we didn't offer any quality to him at all.

Is it a wait and see then? see who its likely to be and then play accordingly vs the Czechs
I don't think their good enough to do as they please though and the Czechs aren't pushovers |
|
By:
We've got to remember that Southgate was appointed as a safe pair of hands in the controversy avoiding department, nothing to to with whether he had the qualifications for the job.
He's not alone, Solsjkaer and Martinez are two more bluffers undeserving of their current jobs. |

Southgates a good boy, does all the PC stuff, talks to the kiddies and bigs up the LGBTQLMNOP and interracial nonsense

Sorry but Philips, Mount & Rice in the middle.. Shaw and James not allowed to overlap.
James put one cross into the box!! Shaw broke the line twice and that is when England looked most dangerous, that was it!! Italy, France, Portugal, Holland and Germany have all moved the ball forward through the middle quickly with running the channels etc and turning the opponent. Mount & Philips was all huff and puff, Rice static. The front 3 all with their backs to goal, because not one of the midfielders played forward, it was easy to defend!! You only need one of Philips and Rice, Drop Mount into the middle and get him playing forward or bring Henderson into the middle. Tripper and Chilwell should be the fullbacks Can see England going to 3 at the back with Walker, Stones and Maguire soon. Then you will only need Philips or Rice in the middle with Sancho, Kane, Foden and Grealish/mount going forward from the middle!! that tonight was the wrong setup, personnel and delivery and all he has done has heaped pressure and negative feeling |
