robin_unreliant Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 No way England will get through against any of the three potential teams we may face. GS wasted the warm up games and now has no idea of his best side. Too slow and disjointed to beat any of those three imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curr Avon Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Just now, Midred said: Is it a confidence problem with Kane and would he be picked if he wasn't captain? Doesn't form count if you're captain? He doesn't look sharp. Perhaps those ankles are being managed. I would've given Calvert-Lewin a run out.

OneCity Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 An antidote to insomnia. That pretty much sums up my impression of England so far in this tournament. I have very little...well, actually no...confidence in our prospects against the likes of France or Germany, but I suppose you have to say the bottom line is this: England win and go through. Scotland lose and go out. I'd buy that for a pound any day of the week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Geoff Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 I'd take a penalty shoot out against the Germans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 It was our best performance so far as we actually had players in Saka and Grealish that looked to commit opposition players, and a Grealish got an assist for Sterling's goal, and it was another clean sheet. But its hard to see us going much further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 270 mins with a a defence being the weak component, defence rotated in every game. Never really looked in trouble in any game. I think people complain too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've just made the point on the TV that if France, Germany etc had gone through in this way everyone would be saying how they're quietly and assuredly going about their business. England do the same and we're crap and boring will be beaten by the first good team we face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Apparently, Croatia are a good team, Scots are lining up to say on television this evening. Earlier, I heard Pat Nevin report from Hampden Park: "Croatia are looking like the team that got tae a World Cup final" and I thought tae meself: Pat, that's because they're playing Scotland.

Bristol Oil Services Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 A few days ago, I heard some Jock or other saying England's got a population of 50m and Scotland just 5m and adding that it's incredible how they could do what they did against England and our team of 50m with their little team of just 5m. I just looked up Croatia's population - it's 4m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 People have short memories. Germany & Italy have won all their major trophies by keeping clean sheets & not taking many risks. Expansive teams concede goals & rarely win tournaments (Brazil 70 apart) probably the last . The footballs not great to watch but as of next week it’ll be completely different. We’ll probably go to a back 5 & become a counter attacking side .

robin_unreliant Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 So is Southgate's masterplan to do a Greece then? Rather we tried to entertain and lost in a good game because the defence will let him down anyway against the better teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
