England v USA – Fri 25th Nov, 19:00 | Group B | World Cup 2022

[FogBlueInSanFran]

They'll be 11+5 American Hostages to Iran in Qatar on Tuesday night, I wouldn't get so giddy.

Not sure what the hell this means, but I can say this: I have spent exactly zero seconds of my life ever being giddy about the USMNT. Normally I am trying to slap anyone I hear who is.

 

[meeesh]

Injuries can strike.

I’m meaning in the actual qualifying to get to the WC in general,without Kane we would really struggle to get to the tournament

 

[Mancity1980]

He looked taken back when asked why no Foden tonight.

He had no answer.

 

[spacecadet]

Kane moves about the pitch for England like his ass is hurting him.

 

[paulchapo]

Yes, it is troubling when you are talking about a point gained - against the USA. Yes USA played well but that's because we were dreadfully poor. Not really much point going to such a tournament if that is what we aspire too, a point against America. As @paulchapo said earlier we will be battered by the likes of France and Spain.

They're on a different planet. Fast, skilful, athletic and brave.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Southgate is so far out of his depth it's unbelievable. That squad England have should be one of the most entertaining in the world.

His team selection is abysmal. Foden walks into that team every day of the week! Mason Mount must have some selection of photos/videos of his managers the lad is fucking shite, Declan Rice what the fuck does that gimp do to...Beggars belief.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Was that the Fowler penalty miss in the last minute?

Yeah, that’s the game

That was a good Middlesbrough side, some really decent players in that squad. He was Middlesbrough captain, and then they give him a job off the back of that and he didn’t have the experience and managed to get them relegated and they’ve never been back in the Premier League since apart from one season. They should have been kicking on from the point Steve McClaren left, but Southgate took them into a downward spiral.

He just wasn’t cut out for it because he didn’t have the experience, just like he doesn’t really have the experience in management to be managing at the World Cup.

Q: How do you play 4-2-3-1 and get overrun in midfield?

A: Play Sterling, Mount & Saka as your 3 and play 2 DMs who can’t even make a triangle for the CBs to move the ball forward or track a runner!

It’s clear as day that Foden is either injured, has fucked Southgate’s wife/mother/daughter or has called him a **** at some point, because that game was crying out for Foden to replace Mount from about minute 10 forward!!

Southgate will class that as a “good tournament draw” as it will probably result in going through as #1 in the Group. However, that was the most boring, inept World Cup performances of a QUALITY England squad in a long time!

Bellingham didn’t come alive until the second half, when he started getting forward, but within minutes of starting to show something, he was hauled off….because what England REALLY needed was Henderson!!!

Tbf, he did a decent job when he came on and livened things up, but ffs?! How long do we have to be playing shit before Southgate “dares” inject some life into the team?

Boring as fuck, and now I have to navigate thunderstorms on the way home all night from São Paulo Brazil! UFB, because I was hoping the game was going to be my excitement for the day!!

Good luck with that

Nearly 200 wasted minutes today,who was the crappiest Kane Bale,mount ,Bellingham,Ramsey.

According to Lee Dixon, Southgate plays that back 4 because they all 'get on together'.
If that's true then it's testimony to the level of his skills as a football manager. Unbelievable.
