I just wish that flare had exploded.
Southgate knows that he has the deepest attacking depth in the competition. His tactic from the very first game has been to cancel out the opposition with a hard working first XI, then to bring on fresh legs in the last 20 minutes without actually weakening the side. I don't see him changing it today.
He does a decent pressing job, tbf.
Puff, puff, pass.
One thing good about Southgate is he doesn't play players out of their usual positions so all these players perform at a decent state no matter what and seldom makes mistakes.
Oh it gets better. They sure know how to party
If they are like this now, what will they do if we actually go and win. In fact not sure if I am more worried about what they will do if we lose.Oh it gets better. They sure know how to party
Sounds depressing. We did have a pace outlet against Germany but Mount isn't that. Looks like digging our heels in where the bench 11 is better than the first 11.
True but the Italians will be happy that no Saka means it’s one less speed merchant to deal with.
If that's true we could be in for one dull game.
Makes sense and was expected
Either way, they'll burn the place down for sure
It's about the result, couldn't care less about how we play. I want us to win not be plucky losers.
Personally I'm more worried about inviting them on to us. Should be the other way round.
The last time that happened, it ended a plague. So fingers crossed!
Absolutely. The first few weekends after 19 July are going to be bedlam. Today's just a preview.
What does Brexit have to do with the England national football team?nope because I bet money on you lot to win, its win win for me. Shove that in your brexit pipe and smoke it
Let them. England are probably at their best on the counter.

First international cup final for a generation plus loosening of COVID restrictions. Fans are going to enjoy themselves.
This. The final ain't about who looks the best but who can get the last win, however that may be. We one had an England team where pretty much all the first 11 were top 5 in their positions in the world and that got us nowhere. Gareth may favour weaker (attacking wise) individuals and play at times, but he also has England in two Semi's and a Final in his 3 competitive endeavours.
What makes you think you’d win on penalties?
An unexpected cure for piles.
I mean, there's just no way this is going to end well. You don't stick an ignited flare up your ass and expect a positive outcome.
Don’t like that at all.
Because DDG isn't in goal.
Would be typical if this idiot works in come government office.
It doesn’t seem to matter how anonymous he is. He’s a teachers favourite.
