Clearly we need to up it from here on in. As you say we do have the attacking threats to cause any team problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 If the Germans score first, I’m not convinced we have the nouse or creativity to break them down Personally I think as per normal, the England side is overhyped. I hope they can prove me wrong!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-hugh-blind Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Don't care how we do it, just do it. Big game for Southgate who has done a brilliant job so far. He's said he intends on being hard to beat and this is a lesson from years gone by. So basically the last thing that should happen tonight is a defensive mistake costing us the game. I predict penalty shootout. 1-1 then England, obviously. A high press worked very well against Germany for Hungary, that doesn't really work with Kane. And boo to 5 pm !

Mr Hankey Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 An early goal for us could be vital. The players will start to believe, the fans will be getting stuck in & the Germans could get a bit shakey…..the later the game goes then i think the more confident Germany will be.

Neither of them can take a penalty so Kane probably would get in head of them now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KegCity Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Feeling optimistic for this, absolutely despise the way we play football but we do seem to be hard to beat, which is what you need to be to win a tournament. 1-0 England. 28 minutes ago, TonyTonyTony said: Yes but you have to play them. Actually on the pitch The only forward I have an issue with is Sterling, but as he's scored twice he'll rightly start this evening. Still to be convinced that he can play football and he lacks composure in and around the penalty area. Saka starting is exciting, plays direct and drives into the penalty area.

Show Me The Money! Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Have to admit having suffered watching England at tournaments now nearly 40 years now(f&?k I feel old now). I’ve lost a little bit off the excitement and expectation now which means I’m in less of a blaming mood should things go pair shaped. People have moaned about Southgate before we’ve even been knocked out despite his record of having qualified for this tournament and World Cup and reached a semi final. Yes we have some excellent attacking talent but it’s about building a team that can win games. We can’t play all of the attacking players at the same time but we can play 5 (or 6 if ET) subs so we can play more of our attacking talent during the game as needs be. To end my boring ramble I’d just say that you just sit down, enjoy the game. If we win we party, if we lose (Germany aren’t a crap team so it’s within the realms of possibility) then long as the players seem to have given there all we have to just move on. What will happen if we lose though is everyone will jump all over Southgate and we’ll give him the elbow and bring in someone else who will basically just get the same results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 3 hours ago, And Its Smith said: Pickford Walker. Stones. Maguire Trippier. Rice. Phillips. Shaw Saka. Kane. Sterling Rumoured team Not quite what I'd go with but not a bad team either. I think the only changes I'd make would be Saka at LWB and Grealish with Kane and Sterling in a front three.

MarcusX Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 6 hours ago, And Its Smith said: Completely agree with him. A rivalry based on a war that nobody watching tonight were around for. Germany v England isn’t seen as a massive rivalry in Germany Rivalry is different in international football. We have the home nations as "rivals" but rarely play them. I think rivalries are built on playing each other often For me it's not about the war with Germnay, it's about how much we seemed to play them when I grew up. Euro 96 loss was heartbreaking as a kid, then Euro 2000 and the WC 2002 qualifying we seemed to play them quite a few times in quick succession Lately it's been Croatia that I've wanted to see us beat, with the 2008 qualifying then the Nations League, WC and now this Euros we've played them several times in reasonably quick succession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge game for us later against a German team who do seem vulnerable at times. Slightly awkward 5pm KO so hopefully everyone can get home from work/to the pub in time for a pre-match pint or two to calm the nerves. Can Kane break his Euro2020 duck? Will Grealish start or will he be kept fresh for later in the game? Can Sterling notch again? After Magic Monday, surely it'll be a dull game? C'mon England https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57611058 Thanks for the heads up. I thought it was an 8pm kick off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Med/MadHatter Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 I'm flying home from work so will be missing the whole game as I have a 4 hour drive at the other end too.
