Vulnerable left is because Sterling does nothing defensively and loses the ball pretty often. Saka is much better at contributing at the back and carrying the ball forward.Tweet

25 years after the Euro 96 match. Silver Jubilee celebrationThis time next week we’ll be knocked out by Germany.
We scored 2 goals, in 3 games, against some poor international teams. Croatia have aged horribly and Czech Republic and Scotland are average at best.Rather see how good we actually are against a proper team than slug our way further into the tournament. We need to be tested, even if we end up failing, so be it.

Yeah it will be Germany or Portugal no doubt.Who does England get next? Runners up in the France group?
Yup here we are, still you on a forum talking about Scotland after your team won. Weird obsession.I'm laughing my arse off, mate.
"First point in a tournament in 23 years" you told me. Called me an arrogant bellend too for pointing out how fecking stupid the celebrations were, and yet, here we are.
Yeah I should have said any neutral.Erm because you can't pick where you were born perhaps? Jeez.
Group stage is a mockery, have to be woeful to go out.I don't like this 3rd place team qualify bollocks, is that a new thing as I don't remember it in past tournaments
Aye, never heard of in football to take the piss out of local rivals when they've shat it. Not the done thing at all.Yup here we are, still you on a forum talking about Scotland after your team won. Weird obsession.

Both are so slow to move the ball.All this talent just to play Rice and Philips as a double pivot. Surely Southgate can come up with something better then that ?
Yeah that's about right.Above.
Completely agree. Jack and Sterling didn't track but if you are playing two CDMs - you would expect Rice to cover that flank whilst Phillip goes central and Saka shift across.Vulnerable left is because Sterling does nothing defensively and loses the ball pretty often. Saka is much better at contributing at the back and carrying the ball forward.
They were sort of trying I think, but not exactly busting a gut. But then England played a very conservative approach in the second half too. It was never going to be the best game with both sides already through.They were talking on tv that Czech Republic didn’t want to win because then you will face France, Germany or Portugal the next round. Anybody who knows about that?
England in a nutshell.Change "economical" to " comical"
Enjoy it as soon enough Scotland won’t be local anymore, they’ll be in Europe and you’ll play the commonwealth cup insteadAye, never heard of in football to take the piss out of local rivals when they've shat it. Not the done thing at all.
That's why you play Rice and Bellingham, not Phillips.Both are so slow to move the ball.
It’s a special game I guess when both teams have already advanced and the winner probably will get a difficult opponent in the next round.They were sort of trying I think, but not exactly busting a gut.

Definitely. The hope for me is once we come up against better teams who will control the play we'll be able to get some joy on the counter. The worry is the two centre mids he's picking were poor at progressing the ball today and will Gareth give the fullbacks and wide players license to tear into the opposition in those situations? I thought in transition we were a disgrace today, the amount of times we're playing it back to the goalkeeper or slowly around the defensive players was untrue. I'd have liked to have seen us start to look lethal going at a team, who to be fair had a fair amount of the ball in the second half, but the lack of impetus to get back at the Czechs today was poor.There's obviously a fair bit not right with this team, and we look a level below the best here. We are just far too slow in our transition up the pitch. Easy to play against, and for that reason I understand Southgates relatively conservative approach. We just don't have the footballers to be able to control a game in the middle of the pitch
You have to be in the EU to play in Europe?Enjoy it as soon enough Scotland won’t be local anymore, they’ll be in Europe and you’ll play the commonwealth cup instead
They are going to live off of the oil moneyYou have to be in the EU to play in Europe?
More stupid Scottish logic?
bollocks. Only fans think like this.They were talking on tv that Czech Republic didn’t want to win because then you will face France, Germany or Portugal the next round. Anybody who knows about that?
