Thing is, if you are going to use the tech like that, then the rules would need an overhaul. Half of your toenail being offside gives no advantage. The ball accidentally grazing your hand while you are running should not cost your team a goal. Those two things caused Denmark a two goal gap. That is fucking insane.
Havertz :lol:
It's amazing how great and how shit Havertz can be within seconds.
That is pure class.
Atleast we know how England are getting knocked out now.
Being glued to his line has always been a bit of a problem for Kasper Schmeichel. Modern sweeper keeper deals with that no problem at all.
I fucking hate var.
Should be the slogan for VAR.Quote:

Dino Arms
Walker, Guehi, Stones, Trippier
Rice, Mainoo, Bellingham
Foden, Kane, Saka.
Far be it from me to question Sir Gareth but I'm worried by Mainoo starting. We needed the experience of a TAA or a Conor Gallagher in there. Now is not the time to be taking risks, but I'm sure Gareth's factored this into his thinking though and we'll be fine as a result. Very pleased to see we've retained continuity down the left hand side. Excellent Gareth, excellent.Quote:

I don't mind Mainoo starting, my issue is no left back, and no changes going forward.
ITV are doing a bit of hatchet job on Southgate now. They see Phil Foden passing the ball to Harry Kane once in 3 games as genuinely unbelievable and a symptom of diabolical attacking play. I see it (and I'm sure Gareth would too) as a wide man who knows retaining possession of the ball is the most important thing. He's well drilled and doing what he's told. Again, excellent from Gareth.
He's breaking up a very successful and winning midfield that contributed to us only conceding one goal in 300 minutes. Like I said, I'm sure he knows what he's doing but I'm worried that Mainoo's dynamism, surging runs and ability to pass the ball forward will upset the momentum of the team.Quote:

Don't worry lads.
It's coming home.
Are we going to have to sit through one more super crab display before we start turning it on and taking the tournament by storm or can that start today?
A rate of one position improved per game might just work out by the time the final comes around.
Presumably Shaw will be 'fit to start' at some point before then.
You swayed me. Too risky. We need another fullbackQuote:

The idea of Mainoo being in the team to free up Rice is genuinely terrifying.
Mainoo and Kane holding the Fort while he bursts forward, wins the ball and plays a worldie back to Pickford.Quote:

So long as it's not a left-footed one. That would be madness.Quote:

Are you familiar with Kalvin Phillips?Quote:

Lol good start.
I know I bleat on about this all the time.. but a 1 game ban for 2 yellows over 4 games is ridiculous. Also, why are Trippiers, Fodens and Sakas first touches ALWAYS backwards?
