England v Germany | Euro 2020 Last 16

So if the news is true of him going to a back 5 with the two holding mids, it's basically up to Foden to create anything?

Christ.

I hope the England fans were practising their plastic chair throwing skills yesterday.

Will be a big day for the chair chuckers, lots of renditions of anti German songs, no surrender, twelve bombers, blah fucking blah. A big chance for the dickheads to reimagine Dunkirk, D-day and Dresden.

Just hope none of our players get injured, England lose and our lads get on the beach by saturday having a rest. Much more important games to come, we have a title to defend.

yep plus Sterling so you know what will happen if they don’t deliver!?

No chance Sane starts for Germany. Hes been shite this tournament

He's been shite since he was injured by the world's greatest right back.

He's such a dull manager Southgate

The wing backs aren't even attacking

Yep, one of those nights where it's probably going to be best to be on the bench.

No doubt Foden will get hooked for Grealish on 60 minutes.

Kane to score the winner tonight

Same old nonsense on BBC1 this morning. Silly Sally is very nervous. Dan is worried about penalties etc.

All feels like someone else’s team to me. Hope CBthe blues do well but if they don’t, they’ll get the most criticism. If they do well, they’ll get few plaudits.

Got a feeling we’ll have seen this game before by 8.00 pm tonight.

'Here is the news. There is no news from BBC as we just want to deal with football and a bit of tennis.....
Forget anything else going on in the country and the World- we already have'.
Then we get a stream of nobodies who say they don't follow football but predict the score.
We have noticed played a knockout match yet. FFS.

We've sat off teams too much so far. I thought the Czech's got to our final third far too easily. If we let Kroos/Gundogan have the ball too comfortably then we will struggle. But I also think we'd be smart to mix strategies. Press them only when it comes into either of their midfielders and not every time just to make sure we have a defensive shape. And then when we attack we want to be slicing down the middle and exposing their lack of pace.

I feel pretty confident even though history tells us we have no chance of winning it in 90 minutes and if it's ET/penalties then even if the players don't remember - the crowd will be telling them through their collective nerves that we'll probably lose!

Come on England! Get through this and on paper it couldn't be better for us to make the final. But having lost to Iceland at the last Euros and Croatia in the WC semi - who were a good side but a side we would have expected to beat - anything can happen.

Tbh it makes sense from a tactical point of view.

If we don't match their formation they'll tear us apart with their wing backs, like the did to Portugal.

5 at that back, whilst seen as defensive will allow for us to match their wing backs width without conceding too much space in the centre.

Just need the forwards to be on form and we've got a chance.
