What the fuck is that team.
It’ll be brutal but you’ll be fine.

Saka over Foden would indicate some astuteness so I doubt it.
I put in a 'it's coming home' in AOB of my last call today like the gammon banter king I am. I'm now truly one of you.
My opinion is based on our goalkeeper. We've won our last two penalty shoot outs in knockout tournaments and with Pickford in goal, I see that continuing.
Game was 2-2, the penalties were 5-3
Whatever website I was looking at needs to be shut down, in that case.
I'll take that if the alternative was having Foden as a wide player in a 3 behind the lummox.Apparently it’s Saka over Foden as well.

Saka was excellent against the Czechs, so I'm happy about that.
I think we'll win fairly comfortably tonight. And if we do, I reckon - for the first time since pre-tournement in 2010 - that we have a genuine chance of winning the entire thing.
Agree completely. If we win tonight we can genuinely win the whole thing.
Your squad depth is ridiculously good. Might come in handy the further you go
All this optimism.
Must be exciting following the national side in a tournament for the very first time.
Yev's on the banks of the Rubicon.

And yet Germany have a better keeper at penalties and haven't lost a shootout since the 70s.
The if in 'if we win tonight' is a huge one.
We are due one, let's be honest.
6-0 England.
They will lose a shootout today. Historical shootouts are irrelevant. No one from the 1970s (or even from Euro 96) is playing today. Neuer is good but Pickford will be our trump card, both scoring and saving penalties.
Putting your faith into Jordan fucking Pickford is a brave move.
Well he saved two in Germany's last shootout.
Saka's in, all out defence.
Did Sterling masquerade as a wingback for City at some point?
If we lose can we please have a Yevrage?
No Gundo , shame Musiala doesn't start but I'm sure he has a late winner in him still
Why is Calvert-Lewin not even on the bench?
Southgate has actually managed to go even more defensive than I thought he would. It's his call and he's paid to make tough decisions, but his job needs to ride on this game now.
Anyway, 'mon.
You're only allowed a matchday squad of 24 despite there being 26 called up. They've been rotating who's been left out.
A failsafe in case he ever starts to doubt Harry Kane, Our Lionheart.
Why? He was the best goalkeeper at the last World Cup and has yet to concede in this tournament.
Seems ridiculous to leave out one of our only goalscoring threats off the bench. At least we've got 2 central defenders to bring on.
He's our only other actual striker and he's barely played so he can't be tired.
I'd like to repeat the question.
Unless we're just going with Jimmy's answer.
It’s Jordan Pickford.
Surprised Werner is playing. Kyle Walker has been a mess against him and Havertz though so it does make sense especially at Wembley.
ja, mein Herr, ich kann Boogie tanzen
It's the most defensive line-up I've ever seen anyone play in any game ever. I also don't like this pissing about with team selections to this extent. Find your best line-up and stick with it. Even I'd concede we're playing an average German team by their standards, so treating them like we're facing Brazil 1970 is either genius or insanity. Southgate maybe many things, but a genius he is not.
That's it, Yev. This is good. Let the rage flow.
Scotland once played the Czech Republic without any strikers on the field so at the very worst this is the second-least defensive line-up ever along with every other time Southgate has done this.
Oh right. Yeah I suppose both Mings and Coady is perhaps unnecessary. He's just sure of us being 3-0 up rather than the other way round, you'd think.
I enjoy the consistency with this madness.
I'll never top Algeria 2010. Reason being is I went into that tournament thinking we not only could actually win it, but we might well. Despite the atrocities against football we've committed so far (and are seemingly trying to best this afternoon) the rage just isn't there as I fully expected something horrible.
Harry Kane is famously hard to injure I suppose so it makes sense that you wouldn't want another striker in the matchday squad.
I think he sees Marcus Trashford as his second centre forward.
That team is deeply depressing.
It's a weird ruling that you can have three extra squad players this year, but a handful of them can't be on your bench which has two goalkeepers.
I guess someone has to, I'm not even sure I see him as a footballer.
Southgate ensuring we neither win nor lose the battle down the flanks.
That line-up and the likely substitutions has a whiff of the Croatia semi-final to it.
This is going to be parking the bus with Kane giving Saka and Sterling balls to chase.
Might just work too.
Decent boos for the German anthem it's on lads.
Booing anthems. Fucking hell that’s trashy.
They were all saying boo-urns.
Look at Declan Rice trying to be all Italian with that chest
I'm convinced they're messing with the sound when they start booing the kneeling. The sound goes a bit Smackdown.
