Euro 24

Shearer and this wank pot commentator just can't criticise us but then say how we're in debt to Pickford for us winning still. 

[Howmanheyman 36617]

Shearer saying take the sting out of the game, they've done that since the 35th minute.

[Isegrim 10358]

Poor game. England rather uninspiring after scoring, Serbia very poor in front of the box.

[Gemmill 49981]

Talk about taking the wind out of the country's sails ffs.   Settling for 1-0 and ending up clinging on vs Serbia. 

 

I can't WAIT for the next England game now. 

 

[Gemmill 49981]

It'll never ever happen, but I'd honestly rather see Toney start the next game. 

[wykikitoon 22906]

Fucking Turgid.

 

 

[Guest MrRaspberryJam]

Mowbray going on like Pickford made a string of wonder saves. Tipped one shot over the bar that was straight down the middle

[Holden McGroin 7625]

The winners of these tournaments always start slow.

[Ayatollah Hermione 14686]

Thought Kane did well second half to win some free kicks that we promptly wasted. If we see Alexander-Arnold line up in midfield against Denmark, we’ll lose. Gallagher has to be in there off the back of the second half 

[acrossthepond 979]

Horrendous. Time to ring the changes against Denmark. Take "Trent" out back and shoot him, start Watkins ahead of Kane, and have a quick word with Foden that if he doesn't shape up he'll be back to selling K out the back of a caravan in Oldham before long. 

[Gemmill 49981]

Give Ange the job. Turn international tournaments into one big danger wank. 

[Dazzler 11820]

Well that was fucking dreadful. This is going to be awful once we play an actual good team.

[PaddockLad 19017]

 

[Holden McGroin 7625]

You lot wanting Watkins or Toney to start ahead of Kane. LOLZ.

[wykikitoon 22906]

Kane tbf to him was in a wrestling match for most of it. 

 

I would have taken him off sometime second half to mix it up though.

'Aw, mates, you're afraid of your own shadows.'

[Ayatollah Hermione 14686]

Can’t get over his subs there tbh. After Gallagher anyway. The bloke is the kind of bloke who would pick Health and Safety regulations as his Mastermind specialist subject

[wykikitoon 22906]

My bet came in!! I had £5 on Harry Kane completing 4 dribbles. Bet came in when he was halfway through singing the National Anthem.

[Kevin Carr's Gloves 4269]

I watched the Denmark vs Slovenia game and they are nothing to worry about.

[Howmanheyman 36617]

Is this England team/squad better than the sum of it's parts?  

 

If not then then that's on the management I'm afraid.

 It’s an easy group and the quality of our players will take us to the later stages at which point the deficiency of our management/tactics will let us down.

 

Then we’ll all get over it quickly because we don’t really give a fuck about international football.

 

So long as none of our players get injured, I’ll consider it a successful tournament.

I thought that, especially in relation to the service he had and the role he had to play for the team, he did a great job second half. For his one chance he did pretty much everything right and was thwarted by a top class save. Some of his hold-up play where no team mate was within about 40 yards of him and he had to win a foul holding off about 3 defenders was brilliant. He was the least of the team’s attacking issues after the break

I'm sorry like but I cannot stand England. I watched this one, thought maybe would take the risk after skipping the last few to avoid being put to sleep permanently through boredom.

 

But I see we are still the same.

 

Why won't we just fucking try. Howe would be so much better than Southgate it's actually obscene. They can fuck off though.

[Dr Gloom 23642]

Typical Southgate performance. All the attacking players he could have brought on to try to regain control of the game after Serbia had a go in the second half and he brings on Gallagher and Mainoo, effectively leaving us with three defensive midfielders on the pitch for the final 5-10 mins. It’s no wonder we dropped deeper and deeper. We have the quality to take control of games and dispatch the weaker sides but for all the talk of being brave, it was a typically negative mindset from the manager. 
 

Trent clearly isn’t a CM btw. He can spray it around nicely but he gave it away far too cheaply to play that position against the better sides. 

[Alex 36727]

Thing is with TAA, he could be very good in that position, because of his attributes, but he hadn’t played there anything like enough. He could probably do with a season playing there in the PL first. It’s so different playing a lot of the game with your back to goal compared to RB, where all the okay is usually in front of you. Not just that but there’s less time and space in the middle of the park. What’s weird is Southgate is normally so cautious, and it seems like an unnecessary gamble. Especially as Mainoo would be tailor made for that role alongside Rice. No t tye end of the world by any means. 3 points on the board is obviously the main thing. That was a desperately uninspiring second half display though. Especially the complete inability to string two or three passes together. Fabregas was spot in re : Foden bottling it and and trying to play killer 30 yard balls instead of hanging into possession
