    Which is perfectly fine when you're playing almost all of the teams in this tournament.

    Watkins has done more running in two minutes than Kane has done in one and a half games.

    Yep, this game is 5,000% more enjoyable now that we have an actual striker on the pitch and not some plodding twat who keeps getting in Bellingham's way.

    As opposed to putting Cole Palmer on, who plays for the 6th-placed team?

    You have to wonder why Eze is even picking up the ball there. This ref has been a right fanny.

    Fucking hospital pass from Rice. I can understand they are subject to Southgate's tactical ineptitude, but why these players suddenly lose all their technical ability as soon as they put on an England shirt is baffling.

    Watching replays of the Denmark goal, I am wondering why Rice allows him quite so much time and room.

    Guehi does that against anyone decent and it’s a goal five seconds later.

    It's because they're being asked to play in a way/do things they either don't fully believe in or aren't comfortable with and it all falls to shit. Many years ago there was a meme about it being the players, but I think in the years since it's all but proven the take (which was always my stance) that it's the manager, every single time.

    Mainoo or Wharton have to play at some point as Gallagher can't be trusted to not be sent off if given more than 45 minutes.

    This is the sort of desperate line-up you usually end up with at the end of a knock out defeat.

    Eight fucking years we've had of this cretin. It was so obvious he was going to waste this generation of players.

    This is the fourth tournament that Southgate has squandered a winnable squad. Do an Ivory Coast. Sack him now.

    I don't see someone trying to give a massive Beckhamesque performance, either. Players have no autonomy these days.

    Yep. Nearly half of Europe qualified for this thing and we are, without a shadow of a doubt (and by some margin), the shittiest team in it.

    Very happy with a point there against tough opposition. As Pepe says, top of the group, never really troubled. On course for the next round.

    mon the lads.

    Maybe they did this deliberately so that they can prove the doubters wrong next time out. Haters too. Armchair critics.

    The final few seconds there where they could’ve pumped it into the box but laboured at the back playing slow passes to each other. Pathetic.

    The traditional England path is a 2-0 win over Slovenia to get hopes up, a tight win over some randoms in the first knockout round then out in the next round when we get someone good.

    No. This might surprise some (due to this bizarre perception that I enjoy England being shit), but I feel the same way that England team played and I just can't be arsed as a result.

    Even my now beyond dispute e-victory (covering all things England) isn't much consolation.
