Can't get on this train yet. We've been here before. I'll wait.
Was thinking the same.Where the feck did I criticise him?
Really? Can’t agree with that...Because there's not a lot of difference in quality between the two teams.
To be frank, the England manger has little say in the youth players coming through into the England squad.For the first time we have a manager who has a plan for the future of the England team, not just the senior team but the younger teams as well. This is a long-term project, while the last few managers have been quick fixes who pandered to big name players.
That was bizarre, clearly injured from about 20 minutes on and doing nothing.Why didn't he sub Alli?
You support England, Adisa?Can't get on this train yet. We've been here before. I'll wait.
If we're comparing players on paper then Belgium look superior. But when you look at actual team performances Belgium aren't anything special. England are capable of beating them.Really? Can’t agree with that...
You support England, Adisa?
Can't see us (Nigeria) going through.
I'd do it as well but I've got Irish and Italian grandparents.@duffer It's a good tactic. Pessimistically support a variety of nations you are linked to and if one comes off you're grand.
My very mixed heritage partner is doing this one, in light of Italy not qualifying, and supporting France, Switzerland and Mexico.
Gareth is about the most Welsh name ever!Gareth Southgate is the most English name ever, it's fitting he's the manager.
He has Kane stand in the box on set pieces instead of taking them. Clearly the best manager football has ever seen
That's a common moan to all top managers - waiting too long to make changes. There could be many reasons why he didn't do it earlier - my guess being he wanted to test stepping up the center backs first before bringing Loftus-Cheek on.Kane got him out of jail tonight.
Was no fan of Southgate when he was appointed but I've liked the look of what he's done so far, and for 40 minutes today that's amongst the best I've seen England play in a tournament. However, game management nearly let him down big time. Absolutely no idea why he left it so late to make changes, with Alli in particular being a total passenger from the minute he was hobbling around. Had Rashford and RLC/Delph come on around 55/60min mark we'd have been much more confortable.
That is unfortunate.I'd do it as well but I've got Irish and Italian grandparents.
It was Keane wasn't it? Unless Eric did it as well?I apologise for Eric stamping on you.
Liverpool are capable of beating Man City, does not make their prices to win the PL or CL similar.If we're comparing players on paper then Belgium look superior. But when you look at actual team performances Belgium aren't anything special. England are capable of beating them.
If they played each other in the knockout stage, who would you support?
Nigeria tbh. But wouldn't be arsed if it went the other way.If they played each other in the knockout stage, who would you support?
Will be found out against Belgium...
How would getting beat by a comfortably better side mean Southgate has been found out?
Outside of Kane and Young/Rose/Walker (because the Belgium fullbacks are a wasteland) who from England would even start in a combined XI?Because there's not a lot of difference in quality between the two teams.
We'd still be having the debate of whether Gerrard and Lampard can play in a midfield two.Imagine Allardyce had stayed.
