Czech Republic v England | Euro 2020 Group Stage

[KentBlue]

Fuck the England camp, I want the City boys back rested and refreshed for the new season.

What concerns me is that we look pretty easy to beat even with two holding midfielders......

True and it is all up to our manager and his set up. No consistent high press or any for of press after the first 5 minutes and both defensive MFs are clearly instructed to play very deep on top back four, so there is a lot o space in the middle of the pitch not being covered. When Phillips goes up, he usually ends up slightly on the right, while Rice gets anchored a way further back and nothing in-between. Even last night, both Stones and Maguire ended up chasing and harassing Czech players around center of the pitch, but Rice is just not doing it.

The annoying thing is Foden was sacrificed against scotland on the right to keep the werld's best left back busy.

2nd best.

Need to get rid of Southgate and get a manager that can build a good team with these talented lads England now have. Already through last night and at one point we had a midfield of Bellingham, Henderson and Phillips.

England being the underdog historically means we'll lose as England only beat teams that we are expected to beat and sometimes not even then.

In every major tournament we have been involved in since 1966, we haven't beaten a team better or on par with us.

Sorry....

****True facts****

1. In the 1400s a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb.

Hence we have 'the rule of thumb.'

2. Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only...

Ladies Forbidden'... and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.

3. Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history:

Spades - King David,

Hearts - Charlemagne,

Clubs -Alexander the Great,

Diamonds - Julius Caesar

4. In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... 'goodnight, sleep tight.'

5. It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink.

Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.

6. Since 1966,England fans have said they are going to win the cup at the start of every football competition, hence the phrase ‘deluded twat’
