Czech Republic v England | Euro 2020 Group Stage

Despite all the hype from the pundits I thought England were poor against a sub-standard Czech team. Just two attempts on target. Not much different from the Scotland and Croatia matches. Very defensive and dire to watch. The only plus for me was the performance of Saka. The TV coverage was like North Korean propaganda. The media can spin it as much as they want and perhaps the fans in Jester's Hats loved it but it was dreadful to watch.
Pretty much this, a very similar decent spell for 20 or so minutes like against Croatia without ever really creating too much but very average apart from that.

Grealish tbf was in a no win situation as he’d been built up to be Messi like over the past week or so!

I don't think l have heard commentary and punditry teams quite so sniping towards City players since league matches against teams in red.
The three who played plus Foden all received sly and more obvious digs for the whole programme. If it had not been for Raz we would have been out with Scotland but with three games without a goal as well as a win.
According to Neville “Harry Maguire is the senior defender, I think John Stones needs him there”
Stones hasn’t conceded a goal in the tournament

We have been educated as to how football can be played as City fans, especially under Pep, so watching the turgid shite Southgate calls football is difficult to watch for us.
 
I find it quite amusing that, for years, England have been casting envious glances at countries who produce technically and tactically excellent players. We produce one in Foden and want to immediately drop him for a 'ten a penny' winger like Saka because he get's in behind the fullback and runs the channels.
