Mexico win tonight and Argentina are out.

Should be a cracking game

Really praying for that to happen

Why

Maybe he likes tacos.

Just watched the same & he is absolutely spot on, him and Carragher have pretty much said the same thing, and just listened to the waistcoat & can’t believe he’s actually said (as an excuse) Phil doesn’t play in the midfield 3 for his club! Wtf has that got to do with anything? Does Kyle Walker play right side in a 3 ? Does Rashford play RW ? Is Kane a midfielder ? Fact of the matter is we played 4-2-3-1 last night and Foden is a better number 10 than anyone else in the squad, he’s also quoted Rashfords pace, Jacks ball carrying and Mounts work rate (in mitigation) having watched Phil close up for a number of years I can honestly say he carries all three of those characteristics, I’m not sure the other three do

Something in Southgates excuse did not add up. For any other top team in World football he would be a nailed on starter.

The question is does he now bow to media and pundit pressure and drop either Stirling or Sako, or do a U turn and play him elsewhere. Or stick to his guns and say Wales is not a game for Phil.

Embarrassing

A bunch of grown men doing that

Not a single one of them looked like they could fight sleep either. The things alcohol makes people do eh..

It's a different brew when mixed with Columbian marching Powder

The crazy thing for me is that Southgate didn’t use Foden as he doesn't play centrally for his club, 5 days after using Foden as a sub for Mount in a central role.

I think its becoming clear that southgate just doesnt like him. Whether its because he has stripes in his hair or lingering resentment from the iceland escapade. It cant be based on ability.

It seems to be personal

He did start him in the opening game of the Euros and that was after the Icelandic tarts being in the hotel, so I’m not sure it’s that, but it must be something

Cant see him starting phil after all the clamour. should see him as a sub this time though unless its 0-0 after 60 mins.

He’s not a winger and not a proper 8/10.

Therefore Southgate struggles to get the best out of him.

Southgate is fucking clueless ?
