Generally speaking, the top scoring team doesn't win the tournament, the team that has the most clean sheets does.

2018 World Cup: Most goals - Belgium / Most clean sheets - France
2016 Euros: - Most goals - France / Most clean sheets - Portugal
2014 World Cup: Most goals - Germany / Most clean sheets - Germany
2012 Euros: Most goals - Spain / Most clean sheets - Spain
2010 World Cup: Most goals - Germany / Most clean sheets - Spain
2008 Euros: Most goals - Spain / Most clean sheets - Spain

It literally is though.

Walker Stones Maguire
Trippier Phillips Rice Shaw
Saka Kane Sterling

It's a 7-0-3 formation. Sit back and try to hit them on the break.

Hahaha. Joker. No idea how to use attacking talent.

Shithouse.

Middlesborough was his peak level, that team is dire

That German team is shit too, not sure why we are giving them so much respect.

The best result from this game would be to see Rudiger get taken out.

Everything about Southgate fucks me off, his stupid face, his boring voice and his shithouse tactics.

3-1 to Germany. That team is getting ripped to shreds.

He hasn't picked the right team yet.....has that evaded you?

So you think Portugal had no cohesion, but a wealth of attacking talent and they got fucked by Germany.

And now you want England, who also have no cohesion but (less) wealth of attacking talent to play the exact same way just because it gets your favourite players on the pitch.

Mourinho did a really interesting piece on 4 at the back vs 3 at the back against Germany and it was worth reading if you want to kill 10 minutes before the match.

He points out that if you play 433 and stick wingers on Gosens/Kimmich then you've simply taken your wingers out of the game and they are gong to be too deep to help your striker.

If you stick fullbacks on them, they have to come incredibly high and wide, which leaves your 2 CB's spread apart and Germany's 3 forwards, Muller, Werner and Havertz have space and numbers over your CBs.

He was in favour of a man to man matching of the formation.


And you might not like him but he's one of the most succeful coaches in history.

Seems a far assesement..It also feels like England will lack the creativity to break down the german defense, and the only england get a goal is through counters/transition.

Get off the fence pal. What do really think of Southgate?

3 atb has become insanely popular recently. Chelsea and Inter's recent success, and even this tournament have shown a paradigm shift away from 4 atb.
