It’s the hope that gets you. Every fecking time, it’s possible that we can finally progress in the last game. And then it all goes wrong. I remember in 96 we could have gone through on goal difference IF England fecked Holland 4-0. And wouldnt you just know it, England actually did put 4 past Holland. The only time I’ve ever cheered England on. We were there. We had finally made it, and then Holland got a goal to save themselves and go through.

Its the hope that kills you.

Bellingham and Rashford are good subs (as long as it's not for Grealish). Take off Sterling and Phillips.

Imagine having the season Sancho has just had and still not getting any game time for country. Pathetic.

I'd love for someone to ask Southgate directly why he hasn't brought Sancho on or given him any minutes in this tournament.

I went to Longleat yesterday and was amazed to find out that Hippos can run 30mph on land and due to their dense bones they can sink to the bottom of the river and run at speeds of 15mph on the river bed. I had trouble imagining what a Hippo running at 15mph underwater might look like and just smiled to myself watching Harry Kane tonight.

Has Grealish really been that good? Been watching the Scotland game mostly so I wouldn't know.

We can't get hold of the ball so we take our two best press resistant players off. I hope this doesn't come back to bite us.

England would have double figure in goals in this group with a manager willing to not just 1-0 it. feck me.... utilise your talent. Bring back Hoddle or some shit.

Grealish didn't put a foot wrong - but is the first to make way. :lol:
