He wasn’t offside and then the goal scorer was behind the ball.

From the first pass, they both looked off.Originally Posted by phonics
From the shot/goal, no that part of the play was fine
No mention will be made. Pure brilliant Cruyff turn in space for no gain, love to see it, plays with no fear.
Not that he had anything to do with that goal.
Guess we're all in on Bellingham or Kane doing something, as, unless we can steal Arsenal's set piece coach we have absolutely no chance of formulating a coherent style of play, in what feels like decades that badger has been in charge.

I actually hate Southgate with a passion.
He has singlehandedly ruined what should have been by far the most entertaining England squad of my life.
Fucking prick.
He's a cracking player (Mainoo) but using cracking players isn't how Southgate operates, there's no point even discussing it, it's the same way fans (who value thrilling football over percentage football) get burned by professional football managers - whose job is NOT to entertain, even if we want it to be - year after year. You can see he's absolutely desperate to have Hendo back in and short of that he's going Gallagher which is basically Hendo without the passing range/pedigree. We should all save ourselves the pain.
Fortunately most of the best players are still very young so there's plenty of time for the FA to make a bold and adventurous appointment... oh sorry, maybe not. Four more years.
“The most important job of football is entertaining the people,” said ???????
Said someone who was correct but also wasn't the person handing out coaching contracts. These guys are paid to win, don't win and they're out, end of story. The problem is that Southgate thinks that this, which probably was his best method of winning with the 2018 squad, is still so - it's clearly not the path to victory with 2024's crop, but there we are.
Gordon with the only positive performance.
T'was Jurgen.
If he took the England job the scousers will never get over it, so it's a yes from me.
International manager Klopp is an interesting one. For years he seemed like a 'system' coach who was all about drilling specific patterns of play into his teams, which seemed disastrous as an international management concept, but lately he's definitely seemed more of a leader of men type character, which I guess he always was, which could work. Not for England though, Gareth is NEVER going to leave.
The ultimate culmination of covid rage, opportunism and administrative stupidity.
That music sounds like it's from a doc about 9/11, not some pissheads forcing their way past a chain-link barrier.
"Mr. President, a ticketless red just hit the Pentagon."
One cannot be a good Liverpool manager and also a good England manager.
How many good England managers have there been? Bobby Robson and that's it? Alf anti-football Ramsay?
Venables was decent was he?
In fairness Sven was pretty good.
Venables was trash.
You've Big Sams 100% win record too.
With English football, the FA and the tabloid media being what they are, it's a role that you just cannot take risks in, ever. The FA I think genuinely keep Southgate on because he's a nice uncontroversial, semi-woke figure that won't annoy the corporates. If they appointed, say, Sean Dyche (which they absolutely should, it would be amazing) you've taken M&S off the peg before you've started. I mean, look at this lineup of legends:

You'd be down to just National Express, Weetabix and Wrigley's Extra in minutes.
I just wonder what it would take to sack him. We're always gonna qualify so a group exit is probably what it'll take. In a world where 3 from 4/5 go through, that's a tough ask.
A doom spiral of mediocrity.
Roy has entered the chat
This is his last tourney. The patience has worn out and the "ah we're shit so no expectations" stance of supporters is long gone.
If Mainoo or Branthwaite don't get a start against Belgium one suspects that's their hopes of starting at Euros over which is lol.
Gateshead just about hanging in the play-off race. 7 games left sitting in 6th after a 3-2 win over Altrincham. Chesterfield are 21 points clear at the top.

Wasn't he lauded as some sort of rising star in the [as we know super important] world of football admin quite recently? Oops.
Speaking from personal experience, achieving industry leadership in football talent evaluation while navigating the complexities of political correctness is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable accomplishments in human endeavor. If they ever pin down the man behind Real Madrid's recruitment for an interview, it'll be like Frost/Nixon.
James Trafford being called up to the main squad is lol. Geezer has pretty much singlehandedly relegated Burnley this year.
Hasn't Kompany just dropped him as well?
FIFA have announced that the U17 World Cup will be held annually from 2035, Qatar and Morocco will share the hosting rights for the first 5 editions. They can't do anything right, can they?
Today I feel richer.
Aint going to be no playful updates on the FIFA flag.
In other news i find it a bit odd that Forest had their apparent 6 point penalty reduced to 4 for early plea/cooperation, but are now appealing that decision. Isn't it an inherent part of a plea deal that you accept the punishment? If their appeal is unsuccessful the deduction should be upped.
Morocco is probably a good host for a winter tournament as it's in the centre of the world, good weather and not too much of a flight for most teams.
I know FIFA corruption shouldn't be shocking, but I can't help but be quite shocked by how brazen it's been recently.
Parking near wembley. Can you pay a local hotel to park on their car park if they have one?
Usually just hotel guests.
Would be cheaper to use JustPark. I've used them when going to an NFL match.
Was able to park on some guy's driveway about 5 minutes walk away.
Is this for football?
I parked here once, but it will probably be fully booked/mad busy/unavailable if you're looking to go there tongiht.
Toggle Spoiler
JustPark will do. thanks.
It better be Rice, Mainoo and Bellingham as the THREE
Belgium's Tintin effort is phenomenal.
What is this kit?
Does that make them easily susceptible to bonks on the head?
Trouble in Tbilisi part 2.
Don’t make much difference when you’ve got old T-Rex arms in goal.
Big Tone.
You just know he's going to miss one in a shootout.
What's the betting equivalent of the doing a line celebration?
Take it back, you've had a mare there Lewis.
What a cross though.
Shouldn't have even been a chance if that giant spastic wasn't flailing around and cleared it instead
The Poland Lewandowski issue is only getting worse as he ages. He is literally doing his team harm so far tonight. Just absolutely zero mobility about him.
Wales look decent but little in the way of cutting edge.
