England v USA – Fri 25th Nov, 19:00 | Group B | World Cup 2022

[AKA 55 year old teenager]

Well that was boring. Shite football. Just don't understand what Southgate has against Phil. Even GNIAC was saying Phil should be playing. Feel for Phil, but also happy he is not gonna be too knackered for us when he comes back if he doesn't get too many minutes. The result certainly make the game against Wales very tasty

 

[lust overlord]

I'll happily slag Southgate off.
I'm not going to single out the likes of Mason mount as he's a talented player,it's not his fault a league 1 level manager is picking the national team.

Foden would have made a big difference to that game. I have a bad feeling about playing the lad against Wales, it will be a game with some nasty tackles and he would be targeted.

The best teams don’t always win tournament football. Real Madrid, scousers and Chelsea prove that theory.

But they probably don’t leave their best players on the bench either

 

[hertsblue]

Really hope we get a tough draw in the knockout stages and nip this in the bud and get the c*nt sacked ASAP.

Nope, his luck is unbelievable in draws. Will easily beat a 9 man Wales team ( 8 man if they play James alongside Bale and Ramsey) and will easily win the group, then they play 2nd place from Group A, where none of them look great (Holland, Senegal or Ecuador). No doubt win that and they will get a draw against someone else they should be beating.

 

[lonestay]

Not a chance he can’t run

He can't, but you know how an England script plays out in a tournament.

 

[super_city_si]

Get beat by Wales by no more than 4 goals and we are through irrespective of the USA / Iran game.

Shutting up shop it is them. Sigh

 

[paulchapo]

Waste coat stick your boring as fuck 4-3-2-1 where the sun don't shine. Truly an utter cretin of a manager. At least we don't have to worry about Phil getting injured during the tournament.

We do, he'll play him against Wales and they'll kick fuck out of him.

 

[BringBackSwales]

The **** will probably pick the same starting 11 against wales

The best teams don’t always win tournament football. Real Madrid, scousers and Chelsea prove that theory.

But they always play the best players they’ve got ( :

The FA lit the Wembley arch tonight. Why can’t they do something useful for once like sack the waistcoat wanker

Head of the FA was interviewed pre match about the Captains Armband debacle- what a waste of time…. He was clueless - clearly hadn’t got any answers from FIFA. I wonder how much that twat is earning - sitting in Qatar for a month on expenses in a 7 star hotel.

Foden would have made a big difference to that game. I have a bad feeling about playing the lad against Wales, it will be a game with some nasty tackles and he would be targeted.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[tommy116]

So we can take it that football may not be coming home??

 

[BillCarlisle]

He looked taken back when asked why no Foden tonight.

Probably because he didn't know why !

 

[coolcity]

What does mount do? i watched that game and had no clue why hes in your team

I've been saying this ever since he got in the team. Gives the ball away every time on the rare occasions he actually has it.

 

[Mancity1980]

He sees him as a winger/wide option as he grouped him in with sterling/grealish/saka/rashford. Which means that Mount's position is basically secure.

Clueless. Play him in the central position with the flexibility to drift wide Gareth!

 

[cheekybids]

Southgate didnt like that question about Foden. I think Phil is just to good for him to manage. Or Phil's footballing brain works to quick for his England teams mates.
Something is very odd about this

His answer was frightening. He has Sterling, Saka, Grealish & Rashford ahead of him as a winger. The question wasn’t why didn’t he start on the wing.

Basically he’s saying Mounts position is cast in stone & he rates him higher than Foden.

Southgate should be lined up against the wall, given a blindfold & cigarette.

Yeah, but they’d only find another vanilla manager. The FA are wasting this group of players.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Waistcoat being waistcoat. The only surprise here is people are still surprised at his level of incompetence.
