England v Denmark | Euro 2020 Semi Final

[FantasyIreland]

In this tournament, 0 goals conceded, 8 scored, what are you basing that on?

Our opponents and the football on show.

So if we go on and win it, you won't be happy enough because the football wasn't up to your standard? And that of course would be with beating Italy.

I'll be made up,still won't rate the dullard in charge.

Genuinely happy that you do though.

Plenty of United fans don’t really rate Rashford. Most think Greenwood is better on the right, most think he isn’t good enough full stop up front, many think he gets in Pogba and Shaw’s way on the left. Plenty of comments on his thread on Red Cafe say he only plays well one in half a dozen games.

And he’s just come off probably the worst season of his career.

Shouldn't be in the squad really.

Plenty of united fans think Bruno and pogba are world beaters
They are deluded
Also sterling shouldn’t be in the squad on his recent city form if that’s your argument

I’m sure if Foden doesn’t play Southgate’s just saving him for the final incase he gets 2 bookings tonight…

Foden had more chance starting last night ;)

Not sure how old you are, but if you are a similar age to me or younger you will only have seen misery,90 and 96 the exceptions. Since then though it's been frustrating each tournament, but here is a guy who in his last (his first) tournament and now this has got us to semi finals, hopefully tonight making history to get us to a final. Yes he might be cautious at times, but it's effective. So it's not a case of rating him, I don't really care much either way about him as a manager, but as it stands he has us in a very good position.

We aren't going to agree clearly.I remember both the above tournaments and they were wonderful feel good times,predominantly because we had managers with presence and personality and who played teams that entertained.
Southgate has had it very lucky so far and his brand of football isn't my bag,i just don't enjoy watching this team under his leadership.

I remember the w.c 90 team evolving as the tournament progressed we were quite lucky to beat both Belgium and Cameroon.

We probably played our best game in defeat against a strong German side.

To Soutgates credit,he seems to have kind of emulated the functional German teams that always progressed to the latter stages of championships.
No bad thing in itself if it brings success.
My gripe is that with the players we have we could be quite a lot more than functional.

 

[hilts]

He's given youth a chance (think we had youngest squad at world cup)

He gives players on form a chance

He has installed a spirit and belief within this squad

Turned us into a solid, tough team to breakdown and we got goals all over the pitch

WC Semi Final + Euros Semi Final

Winning pretty much every game

He comes across as a genuinely nice guy.

really not sure what more people want from a England manager

Not to mention he has saved you a fortune in viagra:-)

Can't see anything other than an emgland win, 3-1 would be my bet.

Italy england final would be interesting. Best position the national side is ever likely to find themselves in. If not now than when?

Can england get rid of the bottler tag?

Any starting line up leaks started happening yet?
