England v Germany | Euro 2020 Last 16

[Fiftyyearsandcounting]

I was arguing football with a Liverpool fan at work last year and comparing the merits of Kompany with VdV. The red nose's final "conclusive fact" was that Holland, in international games, always chose VdV over Kompany. I made no comment, one day his expert analysis will dawn on him.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

While I want us to win I have several reasons to want a loss.

1. Don't want Southgate and his style of football canonised and imposed on us for next 10 years.

2. Want our players to get a good break.

3. Want to get transfers sorted.

On second thoughts.... Come on Germany!!

Tbf to Southgate he has shown that he's pretty loyal to his players and reckon he told Phil that he'd be back for the next game regardless.

Assuming the reports are correct.

Kane has done nothing to keep his place,but it was inevitable he would start.

Would you drop Aguero for City when he was in his prime if he had a couple of quiet games ?

Most world class strikers go through quiet patches, it happens. but you don't lose faith because you know they have the ability to turn it on at any time.

Easy win for us.

Guten tag. Wie geht's?

Well in fairness, he's right.

Could never understand why VK didn't ever get the nod for England. :(

Its not just a quiet patch,he looks out of form and physically unfit.

Other players would give us more.

let's hope he looks sharper tomorrow!

Its a big ask,as i genuinely don't believe he is fit or has properly recovered from injury.We all know that he only needs a half opportunity though,and that is why Southgate wont drop him.

Still got a feeling he's going to burst into life like I remember both Shearer and Lineker doing.
