England v Brazil | Friendly | Match Thread

[Inter Me Nan]

@BlueHammer85 you said you never watched the game so why am I reading your usual copy and paste reply to every single post?
It’s getting weird this obsession of yours to defend a man who stands in the way of the national team having success.
Also, stop with the credit for losing a pen shoot out against Italy. Instead rewatch the game and see a coward of a manager shit the bed after going 1-0 up due to his negativity.

Support England as much and as loud as you want but don’t try and change things that the whole world witnessed. You want a steady, boring manager who’s nice to his players, fine.
Others expect a bit more that’s all.

I sussed that WUM ages ago, just put him on ignore.

I get the fact that you like to follow England and want success.

But I like to watch good football something Southgate cant do. Take the dippers v rags the other week, 7 goals. People talk of it as one of the best fa cup games ever, why ? The quality of football was shit, utd play like England fucking awful football but get lucky. Dippers should have been 4 up by half time. Does this make tent peg a good manager now the rags are in the fa cup semi.

I would say Southgate has to be England most luckiest manager of all time. The fact the first time he comes up against a top team he shits the bed. This is some how ignored by the press/media because it was the semi finals or final.

I dont watch England gave up after 30 minutes last night. I dont enjoy the level of international football, southgate bores me to death, and the City players have to drop their skills level and their natural game.

Another reason I really not follow England is the rags. Mainoo plays a few games for the rags and gets picked for England. Because of this England can fuck off. Its pathetic the amount of rags players that 'burst' on to the scene, play for England than are never scene again. Maguire and Rashford are only picked because they play for the rags. What other possible reasons could there be. Both players are championship level, Rashford is just football version of Frost Gump with a shot which normally goes into the crowd.

As my old man always said you just need to play for the rags to play for England. Nothing has changed.

Plus I find it impossible to support players who last week for their club were playing acting, cheating or in taa case bad mouthing our success. He can fuck right of the little scouse knobhead

Rant over

Who was the last England manager you were happy with and what did they win?

 

[blumoonrisen]

Rico's been called into the squad for the Belgium game.

The worry is that because these two friendlies against Brazil and Belgium are so close to the tournament and against decent opposition, what we got tonight was pretty much what we are going to get in the tournament in regards to finished XI.

Bar Kane and Saka that was Southgates XI for Euro 2024 in my opinion.

Rice, Gallagher, Bellingham midfield.

The big concern is Foden starting in Saka's position. That tells me he isn't going to start for England and will be battling it our with Gordon, Rashford and Grealish for a position on the left wing.

However, Foden is better than Saka

well ask others not to tag me in and ask my opinion which I answer honestly and politely and I’ll just leave it to the echo chamber of ‘Southgate’s a fraud’ ‘we won’t win anything’ ‘we have overated average players/we have the best players’ ‘FA yes man’ ‘I don’t watch England , we’re shit (but will comment every match) etc

Craig Burley is the only one going into some details over on ESPN what this England under Southgate is doing to Foden.

 

[levets]

Imagine beng coached by Pep then turning up for England and being coached by the likes of Waistcoat and Jimmy Floyd Hasslebank who quit as Burton managet with them bottom of the table, then expected to play alongside the likes of Gallagher, Slabhead ec

Hasslebank is his Southgate’s mate. Played together at Boro

It's staggering given his football intelligence and versatility that the rag player was called up before him. It will be funny to see how Southgate ruins him in an England shirt if he picks him. Probably by playing him as center forward.

I would have thought from my post it was obvious. Non of them for the simple fact utd players get picked for just being utd players

Last time he played left back and got motm, so he'll certainly do a better job than Chilwell.
