When you were about to make the change, it showed Foden on the screen. My eyes where like saucers. Like a kid when Santa enters a room. I said to myself, they're taking Foden off, my inner voice then said, calm down you fucking halfwit, they're not taking Foden off.Foden was the only one running his socks off and trying to close down defenders while the liked of Kane strolled around. He wouldn't suit our style of play unless he bucks his ideas up big time, as for Rashford Ffs he's the most overrated player since Beckham
Most of the games in this tournament has been boring so far. World Cup 94 was the first tournament I watched and have seen probably 50% of the games in each international tournament (world cup and euro's) since. I know it's usually hyperbole to say this is the worst tournament I have seen, but I can't remember watching an international tournament as bad as this.I'me not that bothered about the result or the lack of urgency or style. That happens. It was fkin boring, I'd been looking fw to Friday football, drink, fun etc but ffs that was 2hours wasted.
I was watching with my mate across the road and when I saw grealish warming up I said, 60 mins Foden will be off and he said Southgate wouldn't be so fucking stupid. He is a total disgrace to his professionWhen you were about to make the change, it showed Foden on the screen. My eyes where like saucers. Like a kid when Santa enters a room.

Then he did.
I said to our pal in shock. They're taking Foden off. He said Greelish is good too, I replied, so fuck. He's not as good as Foden.
I was glad to see the back of him, couldn't fucking believe it. He was causing me extreme anxiety.
I posted in this thread that the game died for me when Foden was taken off. It reminded me of Bobby Robson subbing Lineker off against the Republic of Ireland in a 1990 group stage game at 1-1. He was clearly more concerned about dropping a point than gaining 2 more. That tournament clearly came good later but Robson was a class manager with an illustrious club management career behind and Southgate is anything but that.When you were about to make the change, it showed Foden on the screen.

Bewildered but delighted was our reaction. If I was English I think the bottle of beer I was holding would have been lobbed at the telly.I was watching with my mate across the road and when I saw grealish warming up I said, 60 mins Foden will be off and he said Southgate wouldn't be so fucking stupid.

Agreed, I was half expecting him to pick up a brolly when it was pissing it down.There's an ineptness about Southgate that I haven't seen since Schteeve Mcclaren.
You were bigging up Southgate in the Croatia thread, I think you said England play in the ‘City style’. Sorry for bringing it up but it stuck with me as it was so funny!I'me not that bothered about the result or the lack of urgency or style. That happens.
