Yep. We're better off not winning the group.If we finish second don't we play a team like Sweden?

Never underestimate the Swedes!Yep. We're better off not winning the group.
he’ll rise his foot to the occasion before savagely bringing it down onto an opponents limb or headMings. I’m scared. This is the biggest game of his career, let’s hope he rises to the occasion (probably not).
It's a sign of what will come later in the tournament and that's why it's wrong. All well and good if he wants to be cautious about using players coming back from injury before the knockout phase so will use a completely different team after the group.. but is he really that overconfident about topping the group? That's a reckless risk and really not what I think he is doing. Plus players not getting match rhythm etc. This is genuinely who he believes is his best 11 of fit players right now. And it's fecking shocking. It'd be a failure of epic proportions to not get out of the group so no it doesn't matter if he finishes 1st or 2nd with shit lineups, it's after the group that matters and if he uses this, he won't make it far past the group stage.No that’s silly, if we win (especially if comfortable) then we are wrong and he’s right. However I do think that leaked line up is madness.
In Ro16 and then France or Portugal in the Quarter Final. You play them in the Ro16 or quarter final. Either way it's unavoidable.If we finish second don't we play a team like Sweden?
What is the team? I have tried finding it, but can't.Expecting more tumescent crap. Very odd lineup.

Not true at all. If you top the group, you're on the same side as big names who are in bad form or going through troubles like Spain, Netherlands, and 2nd and 3rd in the group of death, likely Germany and Portugal. If you get 2nd, you'll be in the same side as France, Italy, Belgium. Yeah you play Portugal at the Ro16 but if you fluke a win in Wembley against them, then you'd be favourites to make the final. In the other bracket you'd be favourites to get past Poland or Sweden but then very low odds to get past France or Italy or Belgium.Yep. We're better off not winning the group.
Supporting Croatia became easierNo Utd players starting. Shame.
He's setting himself for a fall. If we lose today, both the England fans and the media will be all over him for going with this side, and he'll only have himself to blame.If the leaked team is correct then Gareth obviously has his reasons but to have no Grealish in the side and Trippier at left back, if rumours are to be believed, would be madness, in my opinion
Southgate is an idiot. Probably the easiest but biggest part of being a good international manager is just picking your best players in a lineup that makes sense... and he leaves some of his best performers on the bench or out of the squad altogether! Saka ahead of Sancho? fecking madness. Shaw behind Trippier. Grealish on the bench.The leak was correct

First time ever in his career?Trippier at LB is madness.

I don’t actually know. But Shaw and Chilwell sitting out is bizarre.First time ever in his career?

you know what that meansThe feck is that lineup?
And no Sancho on the bench??
Announce Sancho at kickoff!you know what that means
Even 3rd is better than 1st though. Could probably lose today and against Scotland but still go through with a win against Czech...Dangerous though if we (Scotland) win and carry momentum into what is going to be a game full of nerves and tension.
At Carrington signing his contractThe feck is that lineup?
And no Sancho on the bench??
No. He played there last week. How often he’s played there, I don’t know.First time ever in his career?
