not sure it's saying much. Venables played some nice football for a while
Southgate hasnt lost a knockout game in 90 minutes. We've played some good stuff and I've seen England lose with a whimper in many tournaments

Good performance in the end and very comfortable. Have to perform better against France but we have a chance if we bring our best.

It's honestly quite shocking to me the lack of respect that Southgate gets. He is the best England manager in a very, very long time and is doing a great job.
Yeah.

He probably wouldn’t do too well at club level, but he’s been a far better international manager than the World Class managers we had prior to him. It’s a totally different skill set.

Senegal were fecking poor in the second half, 3-0 down no urgency.

Not busting a gut to get forward to take on players, all in front of England.

Very poor.

Most goalkeepers are. If they have to make a save then in their heads the defence has fecked up.

It’s an odd mentality but it works for them in that role.
No, they are not. He hasn't made a one or two saves the entire night and he spent the game yelling randomly.

I didn't say he wasn't. You're right, he is the best for a very long time and he has done exceptionally well. But! It's a fact his negative tactics in the final against an aged (and shit Italy) cost England the trophy. That's not being disrespectful, it's just a fact.

That was a boring game. Senegal offered nothing after the 1st England goal. Never looked like a contest from then on. Thought England were poor in first 30 mins. Interesting to see how they do vs France. Defence still looks very suspect. Winner of that has a good chance of reaching the final.

Those 3 little words boil so much piss :lol:
It does, it really does.

I want to support England if France lose against them but these words make me want to support everyone else when I read them. :lol:
