Another 30 minutes. England can't afford to go to penalties. Pickford has looked shaky all game.

Denmark are exhausted, England have too many subs left with better quality to bring on.

I really don't like it when refs just let the game run on another one minute just like that with no reason. Absolutely unacceptable. When the time is over, blow the whistle for fecks sake.

Compared to Sterling no, no they aren't. Sterling has 15 goals in his last 21 internationals, Rashford has 12 in his entire career.
:lol: He has 12 in 45 vs Sterling’s 17 in 66. What a massive difference.

Only one side wants to win this in normal time, which means of course the other side will actually win.
Just think they made some tactical mistakes with their subs, they now lack the connection between midfield and attack. Prior to those subs, I thought Denmark actually looked better.

Can't spell Mkhitaryan

Sterling had 2 in 45 before that

I thought Ole comparisons with Southgate were ridiculous, but this is a mirror image of his ECL finals subs, not bringing fresh legs, only problem is Southgate has so many more options :houllier:
Biggest difference is Ole actually plays his best players from the start.

Can we talk about how much worse we've been with Grealish on the left wing and Sterling on the right? fecking get Mount off and put Sancho on a wing with Grealish in the middle.

Denmark are gassed out.
They'll do well to survive extra time
Only if we make the subs now. Both teams have gambled, Denmark with the early subs, and us sticking to the plan. 30 mins to play.

4 subs to use with some rapid players on the bench, it’s our advantage if we use it

In all seriousness, what is Southgate’s objection to using Sancho?
He's a risky player and Southgate doesn't like risky players. He dislikes them so much that rather than bring on a like for like replacement in Sancho for Saka, he brings Grealish on and moves Sterling out right where he isn't nearly as effective.

Shit management to be honest.
