England v Croatia | Euro 2020 Group Stage

really mixed bag of a lineup. Defensive as expected but some good creativity. phillips will be exposed as not goid enough today and it makes no sense to play tripper at rb.

I was living in Prague at the time and I loved that tournament too (until the final). The atmosphere here was great. Back living here again but don't expect the same kind of success.

I was competing at Durham Regatta for the Holland game and couldn’t watch it but do remember the Germany game. I was in Germany at the Youth Games and they thought it was a great idea to put 400 16 year old lads in a huge school gym with beer and a huge projector to show it. Kicked off more than a few times.

Croatia 5/1 might stick a few bob on them..

I'm tempted.

I just had to Google who Phillips was ffs, so I'm obviously very up to speed on the national team setup.

haha I just did the same. It's Kalvin Phillips apparently he played for Leeds this year.

 

[super_city_si]

Guess Trippier in for set-pieces, makes Ward-Prowse exclusion even more baffling

Exactly, hes better than phillips.

Penny for the sancho ravers thoughts. Long way to go in the competition still for anyone to make an impact. But had years of pelters against city and foden for the approach.
Whos starting

Sports journo's will be all over that point i'm sure Doris.

Because Trippier looks seriously good player since he left for Atletico, more aware and astute defensively than our original LBs and Southgate probably thins he won't left sleeping forward forgetting his defensive duties. My opinion only. And I like idea of Raheem and Foden playing upfornt.

Cmon England.

let’s at least enjoy this football tourno and get a bit of positivity going around this fair land

Absolutely. A ball hasn't been kicked yet and there's some right old moaning going on!

Most exciting squad I've ever seen and there's plenty of the best talent on the pitch...and others waiting on the bench to make an impact later on today or in another match.

 

[deano ou812]

I'm tempted.

Indeed added to the fact that England have never won an opening game at the euros apparently..

Croatia 5/1 might stick a few bob on them..

5/1 really ?

Fuck me off to sky bet cracking price
