He's back up. Looks pissed though.
Internationals October (Euro Qualifiers)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I know. What can go wrong?
Pathetic from that old feck. Should have been sent off
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.
I would like to see TAA in there instead of Phillips and would be interested to see JWP there too.
That's good. Can't blame him for being annoyed.
Very good response from England and Bellingham. Italy did look threatening in the first half and could've got more.
Grealish spends more time on the deck than upright.
Should have been a red ! Was a fully intentionally a knee to the area he was out injured with...
Grealish 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.
Serbia Montenegro 4 up. 2xMitrovic, Jovetic, Tadic with the goals
Literally anyone.
Horizontal Jack.
Therefor it's Foden, after Saka takes his slot back.
We're there.
Good win and very comfortable in the end.
Routine win, took care of them without ever getting into second gear.
As usual Gareths critics think it should have been 9-1 and we won in spite of him.

England going to Germany!
Over you you Wales

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.
Never thought I'd see a day when England completely outclassed Italy.
It's coming home.

Denmark played a ridiculously poor game against San Marino. The most worrying thing, however, is that throughout almost the entire match San Marino tried to deliberately injure Højlund after he accidentally elbowed an opponent in the first half.
In the end, I actually think that they managed to injure Højlund, who got a knee in his back and had to be replaced. A back injury was precisely the reason why Højlund was injured at the start of the season. The danish captain (who speaks italian) confirmed that San Marino`s players talked about injuring Højlund.

Won't happen under Southgate, but...
Rice
Bellingham Foden
Then Saka back on the right.
Højlund and Eriksen returning from international duty after one of the most embarrassing wins (yes apparently that can be a thing) ever.
England really should have a good manager right now. Their opponents haven't been as weak ever whilst they've had a strong squad as they have now. Tournament in Germany where Germany aren't going to win. Italy is filled with OK players. Spain lack firepower. Belgium's golden generation is mostly gone. So is Croatia's. Only France and Portugal are real threats.

I'm so jealous that we'll never see Bellingham in a United shirt, he's something else. He'll be an absolute bargain at whatever Real have paid for him.
Rashford isn't far behind, though he can shoot so that's his saving grace
He does now and again, he scored a good goal but he mostly ran it to blind alleys and defenders like he does for us
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.

What about France?
One 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.
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 final
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.
His relatively low goal numbers along with being a midget do him no favours.
He does seem like someone you'd have expected to at least rock up at a newly promoted La Liga side or something, though.
No qualifiers - but Germany plays against Mexico in Philadelphia in 45 minutes.

I 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.?

You don't get it and you misjudged
Watching Uruguay vs Brazil. Figured current hipster manager Diniz vs eternal hipster manager Bielsa might be interesting at least, but it has been absolutely shocking.
Nunez has scored with a header. The one and only shot of any kind that either team has had in the whole first half.

Looks like Neymar suffered a bad injury
He is cursed

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.
Brazil have been completely outclassed tonight
They can't even approach the Uruguay goal atm.
