England v Slovakia - Sun 30th June, 17:00 | Euro 2024 Round of 16

After this round of 'Tournament Football' England should retire Walker and Kane. The next World Cup is only 2 years away so let's plan for the future. We got lucky tonight.

This was absolutely nothing to do with Southgate and everything to do with us playing a poor side and suddenly finding something.
We were sodding turgid for 75 minutes and if that's the level of football you like then fine.
I've seen some poor England sides in my time, but this team isn't poor. The performance was though (again) and that's down to Southgate. Nobody else.
Southgate took us to a level that allowed us to be a professional "unit" but that's it.
He's shit.

Mainly awful.

What's the obsessed with Mainoo ? He has done nothing in the games I've seen

To be fair, who has ?

 

[meeesh]

Southgate is a lucky ****

And Scotland are still out

That England shirt that "celebrated" English fashion and tailoring has to be the worst football shirt I've ever seen.

It had this button collar that was supposed to give a "retro" vibe to it and had "150 Years" above the Three Lions crest. Then to make it worse, had this "confetti" design to it of little St George flags.

Most overhyped footballer since Adnan Januzaj

I did answer that.

Like most of the favourites in this tournament we’ve lacked confidence, haven’t gelled and been pretty poor.

You will obsessively scream Southgate and yes criticism is valid for Trent in the middle, not finding the right pairing with Rice, subs too late, being negative at times- that’s criticism right ? Or will you just continue to say I’m avoiding the question and can’t answer it ?

How about some questions for you to answer?
Do you accept sometimes in tournaments some sides reach the final and even win it not playing pretty football ? Do you accept some great sides sometimes dig out results when they’ve been poor? Do you accept that sometimes a couple players off their game can make the difference, a bad official decision, hitting the woodwork etc can mean losing a match and it’s not always the managers fault ?
Also do you give Southgate praise for his subs tonight which changed the game?

Southgate is a ****
