He's back up. Looks pissed though.

I know. What can go wrong?It's almost like, a golden generation...
Better get hyping, it's coming home, etc
Let's be real, it'd be 4-1-4-1 if it were Pep or Klopp.... any of Shaw, James, Trent or Stones from centre back come from defence into double pivot. By the time England figure that out, everyone will know how to counter it effectively.Kalvin Phillips has been the only negative tonight really.
Wonder if TAA can't play there instead of him? Think JWP would also do a better job to be honest.
I would like to see TAA in there instead of Phillips and would be interested to see JWP there too.Kalvin Phillips has been the only negative tonight really.

That's good. Can't blame him for being annoyed.He's back up. Looks pissed though.
Should have been a red ! Was a fully intentionally a knee to the area he was out injured with...Extremely brutal but only yellow.
Literally anyone.Who should he play instead of Phillips or Henderson?
Horizontal Jack.Grealish spends more time on the deck than upright.

Therefor it's Foden, after Saka takes his slot back.Let's be real, it'd be 4-1-4-1 if it were Pep or Klopp.... any of Shaw, James, Trent or Stones from centre back come from defence into double pivot. By the time England figure that out, everyone will know how to counter it effectively.
Won't happen under Southgate, but...Who should he play instead of Phillips or Henderson?
Rashford isn't far behind, though he can shoot so that's his saving graceGrealish is truly world class at running into a blind alley and falling over. Honestly think he may be the best in the world at it.
He does now and again, he scored a good goal but he mostly ran it to blind alleys and defenders like he does for usWhy isn't Rashford this amazing when he plays for United?
What about France?Bellingham is a fecking superstar.
Without him I don’t think we win that game. So positive in possession always looking forward, strong , skillful, eye for goal. The complete package. The second goal he tackled brilliantly then drove forward and set up the goal with a brilliant run across the defence.
Englands midfield is strong but he is the linchpin.
Italy, by comparison had a West Ham reject up front.
If we don’t win the euros next summer surely to god Southgate must go.
Portugal maybe can compare in terms of squad strength (bar the ronaldo effect) but we should 100% be winning that.
Good player but he’s fecking tiny. 5’3. I wanted santos to win the Libatadoras back in 2020 just for him but they unfortunately lost in the finalOne of the great football mysteries why no one in europe has gone for Yefferson Soteldo, what a great run for Venezuela's second goal v Chile.
Loads of 5ft 5-7 players in europe. Brazil football is pretty rough so I think he'd handle the physical side fine in europe. Since Chile gone down to 10 men he's running riot down the left, vibes of Grealish in 2021.Good player but he’s fecking tiny. 5’3.

His relatively low goal numbers along with being a midget do him no favours.Loads of 5ft 5-7 players in europe. Brazil football is pretty rough so I think he'd handle the physical side fine in europe. Since Chile gone down to 10 men he's running riot down the left, vibes of Grealish in 2021.
You don't get it and you misjudgedI turned it off. I thought it was played at walking pace and was absolutely uninspiring.
Did I misjudge it ? Was it modern chess or something that I just don't get.?
Zero chance with Southgate. We'll meet a big team, score first, park the bus and crumble like against Croatia in 2018 and Italy in 2021. Or we'll just not play our most in form player like against France.I fully expected England to win the Euro. Anything less will be a failure but can only see France beating them in a tight game.
Did Pellistri play?Brazil have been completely outclassed tonight
They can't even approach the Uruguay goal atm.
