City.

Country wise I was born in Scotland, so I'm happy tonight. However, if given the choice of City winning or Scotland winning, it's City ever single time with no pause for doubt.

So, it’s Scotland then;)

 

[ysmsa]

I disagree with you.
He has also has missed penalties in his career, it is part of football.

Not many though CBH, he has a good pen record and nobody else on that pitch was an obvious choice.

Look on the bright side , if Julian comes through the next two games outside John Stones hamstring issue we have a good squad to go into the busy schedule to claw back the 5 point lead Arsenal have.

Arsenal probably without Jesus for a while as well.

City first at all times but sad England have gone out. Yes you could say we have lost to the first decent team we’ve met but a bit of luck would be nice.

My only “gripe” is Talksport ( as it’s not City related i am listening to it ) are describing Bellinghams performance tonight as world Class. Really??

But then again one of those raving about him Is some bloke called Stuart Pearce. Hope he never ever gets to manage City

Hopefully we are only in for him to drive the price up. It’s a no from me.

Kane the new scapegoat.

Gave you a like because that's fine - I haven't given him shite, I've said I've heard some shite on here and I've pointed out what I think is wrong, imho - and which Southgate won't coreect for as long as he's in place.

Yeah agreed pal. Just though tonight he got the team selection right and it was the players who didn’t quite do it. Close but no cigar.

 

[wattle]

I've heard a right load of shite, defending the endless negativity. Under Southgate, we are set up to score on the break, not to control the game. Griezman controlled it. We had 3 destroyers who run and tackle in midfield. The ball goes backwards more than forwards if/when they get control of it.
We have Foden, Maddison and Grealish who can all control a game from the middle. Croatia have Modric - and others - with skill on the ball. They can build and create, and that's what we don't do.
Very predictable, but we could still have won, and if other changes and switches were made at the start or during the game, anything is possible. Being set up just to survive and break away to score doesn't and hasn't worked. It is beyond Southgate to do it any other way and hopefully he'll do the honourable thing and let some other mug have a go with our latest golden generation.

Spot on

They all was
Hardly gave France a sniff
Fuck the haters
England was better and lost
That’s what happens

France scored 2 and should have had 3, Giroud missed a sitter. Hardly not having a sniff.
we were the ones who hardly had a sniff. Very little apart from 2 penalties. I thought on the whole we were better than previous tournaments but still way short on tactics When it matters.

Just received a call from a mate of mine in a phone box coming back from York apparently they were surprised Southgate was manager, when they left it was glenn hoddle

 

[Hoghead]

Well, watched the match in the pub, great atmosphere during and after. Felt we played well but a couple of points.
Why do we loft balls into the box which are easier to defend and what the fuck with the substitutions.
