England v Slovakia - Sun 30th June, 17:00 | Euro 2024 Round of 16

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 17:00 (BST). Being played in Gelsenkirchen. Coverage starts at 15:30 on ITV1.




Well the gods have aligned once again for Southgates men. On the 'easy' side of the draw, with an 'easier' opponent. I'd like to say they can't fuck it up but they can and probably will. A squad of that quality should be making the final on this side of the draw.



It'll be a low block again and England really need to improve at breaking it down.

England last played Slovakia in a World Cup Qualifier in 2017, won 2-1 at Wembley after going 1-0 down.

I'd like to see:
-----------------Pickford
Walker---Stones---Guehi---TAA/Trippier
-------------?????-----Rice
Saka------------Foden--------Gordon
--------------------Kane

He won't drop Trippier which is why I've thrown him in.

As for the question mark, Wharton should play but will probably be Bellingham.

They should spare us the inevitable 2 hours of football dross and go straight to the penalty shootout, which of course we will lose.

Behave yourself. He's awesome in tournament football.

 

[Gray]

Hahah lol Slovakia. Southgate is the luckiest fucker.

He planned it all along, the man is a genius.

If you can't be good, be lucky!

Slovakia will be parking the Tourist Bus. There are question marks that England does have the collective footballing intellegence to break that bus down.

England could well end up playing Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Switzerland and Spain.

It really is a shame Scotland went out so easily - could have gone for the full house.

I need the draw without the flags ,countries names instead, call me a caveman

 

[SebastianBlue]

Foden will be benched to #UnleashBellingham.

Southgate is such a lucky manager!

Another QF/SF for his cv after playing no one of consequence and playing shit.

You only get 5 cards, mate, so “S”outhgate could already be a winner!

You can only beat the teams in front of you…but it looks like the easiest possible route to a major Final!

Italy & Holland are no pushovers, but avoiding Belgium, France, Germany, Portugal & Spain until the Final is almost as fortuitous as one could imagine!

………………..Pickfird
Walker..Stones..Guehi..Shaw
………..Bellend….Rice
Palmer……Foden……..Gordon
………………Kane

But, there’s no fucking chance!!

He will put Mainoo in the second DM position and swap Gordon for Foden, pushing Bellend into the 10 role, saying Foden needs a much needed rest after his hectic week and lack of both sleep and training. If England win, it’ll do him good!
