2nd Plays top of Group of Death
Southgate is the Ole of international managers. Not tactically astute, picks his favourites game after game even if they're shite and makes subs far too late.
EDIT: Autocorrect.

England were poor though. They never got going. Everything was slow.
Somebody should tell Levy we have found him a Manager with Spurs DNA and a nice line in waistcoats.
Ten years ago he would, yeah. The guy is 71 years old, not gonna come back to be a NT's manager anymore I'm afraid.
No fans here got overhyped. Everyone said it was a poor performance and that the lineup should change, and we knew Southgate would take the wrong message and pick the same forwards. They were even worse.
Stop writing shite.
What's England path if it finishes 2nd, can't quite believe it will be like 2018 with what will be in knock outs.
Insulting another member
Other than Sterling grabbing his goal against Croatia, him and Kane have been diabolical so far, hardly ever involved in the play and when they do, they have managed to fumble it regardless. Kane constantly wants to drop deep or sit at the back post whilst Sterling wanted to play as a striker on the left and when he switched to the right, gave us absolutely no width.
At this point I'd rather trust the younger guys but with Southgate, that's never going to happen. We will get punished by the first decent team we play against playing like this. Almost like United but we eventually switch it on.
Fair play to Scotland but we didn't really test the defensively which I the worry.

What about QF and semi final?
Time well spentI slept through most of the 2nd half
No it doesn’t.
What options did he have? None. Nobody was making runs or showing any attacking intent.
Most of the time we kept going down the right, anyway.
At least Grealish beat some players and showed some attacking intent.
Sorry but GIRFUY!!!
5-0 England
6-0 England
These were some of the predictions on here and elsewhere. A total lack of respect as if we were San Marino or some sort of clueless minnow that were going to get our arses handed out to them very easily and embarrassed worldwide.

2nd in our group plays 2nd in Group E.
No they don't. The winner of Group F plays the 3rd placed team from A/B/C.
2nd of group D plays 2nd of Group E, the position currently occupied by Slovakia.
People said they’d get slaughtered by England but England were lucky to get a point out of the game soooo…. Who knows. We do have a history of beating far better teams than us when needed.
Probably Sweden/Poland/Slovakia, then France/Portugal in the QFs. Basically you'd avoid the 2nd of group F to play the 1st of group F a round later, so it'd be a "win" for England if they managed to get second.
Have to play in Copenhagen instead of Wembley though in the Round of 16.
No, it's actually the opposite. The first faces 2nd from France/Portugal group. 2nd plays 2nd of Group E of Sweden/Spain/Poland. Stop arguing if you don't know.
I think Southgate is trying to finish second in the group to avoid playing France/Germany/Portugal in the next round, it worked for him in the World Cup 3 years ago. Almost got to a WC final
Booing. Good, they deserve to be with that rubbish
What is Kane saying?
7 of 11 of their team play in the prem and they had as many Champions League winners in their starting XI as England did!
That draw leaves them bottom of the group.
With that performance from England a draw is a bad result for Scotland.
I don't even see what the plan for this match. Sterling, Mount, and Foden shouldn't even be starting they provide nothing to the attack. They provide no service to the strikers. Mount and Foden are definitely proving their lack of experience. And Sterling outside of the first match looks exactly as he did the whole year. The fullbacks provide more creativity than the midfield. Honestly disappointing that Southgate has Sancho, Grealish, and Rashford sitting in the bench who are all proven to score and assist more than today's starters. Also why is Rashford being used as a striker when he doesn't even play that for us, he's not a striker why continue to play him there when you have one on the bench.
Atrocious that, played well for around 15 minutes across the two games. Coming home delayed again...
They should sack Southgate and hire. Conte for the rest of the tournament. I’m not even kidding
runner up of group D plays runner up of group E
Wait, what?
Ole might look like an amateur even after 10 years but even he has a trophy. Southgate has nothing, not even a personality.
From what I watched the worst performance was Sterling.
England too slow to every pass, every decision in attack. Mount also despite some positives.
Half way through the game it was that bad I thought well at least I'm not watching Rashford run into 15 brick walls...but come 60 mins he was all I thought could make a difference.
As it happens I think Calvert Lewin needs a chance and next game should be Sancho and Grealish starting.
One thing I'm continuing to notice with England and Southgates approach, going all the way back to the World Cup and the back 3 formation, is the chasm in midfield. If he continues to play like that we'll get slaughtered in possession again and struggle with outballs.
Anyway, "we"...nah, only belongs to United that term. They, they'll.."get slaughtered..."
And on that note..I'm surprised to see the strength of feeling in here at that loss, sorry draw. One would think we were in the Utd match day thread

No?
IF we finish second
QFs: is winner of Group F (France) vs one of the 3rd place teams
SFs: would be one of Italy or Belgium/group of death third place
so yeah…
Blimey, you're easily pleased. England played like trash.
Surprised Southgate took Foden off, he looked one of England's better players. Not a bad point for England although an incredibly boring performance from them. Scotland need to win the last game but I am not sure the goals will come from.
very opportunist but
