Definitely! All hail Sir Waistcoat.
England have a good chance of winning.
Not predicting it will, but wouldn't be too surprising.
They'll go out in the quarters / semis once they play somebody good.
Not. A. Chance. Dunno when they'll go out, but they'll go out.
It's been too long. A group stage calamity beckons.
Drunk turtle with a flare sticking out of its bum.

Kyle Walker towing the party line admirably.
I've never heard Kyle Walker speak before. That's what he sounds like?
Rio telling us he knows what it is, but then doesn't tell us what it is. Great.
You can see Kyle Walker clearly has not got a fucking clue what the manager is actually expecting from them.
That line from Walker about how he's thinking they'll blame him for bombing up the pitch if he then gets caught out of position really says absolutely everything.
What gets me is Southgate has staff under him. None of them have said, "Boss, I've got an idea about our midfield ..." Are all England assistants destined to become Yes men?
"he wants us to play free flowing attacking football"
He sounds like a Tory politician repeating a slogan - which, of course, he is, because this is exactly what they all said at this stage of WC22.
Not a chance that would happen, I also don’t think his football would work at international level same as Pep they need too much time on the training pitch. Ancelotti would be the shout I think if he was ever available.
It was USA wasn't it? 0-0 against USA with exactly this performance and exactly the same shite trotted out afterwards.
This is worse and at least we'd looked competent in an attacking sense in the game(s) before. This is genuinely as bad as I've ever seen England in a tournament and I'm including the 2010 World Cup in that.
Why aren't they just blaming the manager? So reluctant to do that it's very weird.
You can bet if he was foreign the knives would be out.
Because we've built some sort of weird national mythology, including west end stage play, about how thankful we should all be that Southgate has made us so much better as a nation.
When the calls come it'll probably be for Emma Hayes to replace him.
Being honest is causing Lineker to shake.
In before an unchanged lineup against Slovenia.
They're actually singling out players instead. Not a single word against Southgate.
Apparently Alan Shearer's only managerial win was against Southgate, so he clearly knows his stuff.
Linekar ready to snap here.
If Southgate does an interview in a sec and goes tournament football top of the group tournament football top of the group I'll probably combust.
We are also at the familiar stage of any England tournament cycle where you wonder whether the B team would beat the first XI.
Flappy hands in goal might be an issue, but going off that performance they'd be in with a shout.
Lol Frank defending the bizarre attacks on Kane.
I think the biggest tragedy of the evening was Jude Bellingham looking like a man who'd given up and had decided to become a petulant child. He's met and smashed the shit out of every single footballing challenge thrown at him, but it appears working for Sir Gareth is a step too far.
That’s exactly what it will be. And when we get knocked out by a semi-competent team it will be “lessons to be learned, proud of this group”.
Tournament football ding, no easy game, find a way to get results, top of the group.
RIP Jimmy.
Kane is exactly the same. He should be absolutely fucking livid and looking like a man who wants to break things, both for his own piss poor performance and that of the team in general.
Kane admitting they're not quite sure what to do.
They just need to get on the training ground.
8 years later.
The need to get a lads trip booked to the nearest dentist chair operating establishment.
Genuinely think they'd be better to watch if one of us picked the team and gave them a team talk of "just go out and enjoy yourselves, lads".
Thomas Frank being found out for not being Danish at all and putting it all on to get ahead in football. He's actually Tom Franks from Barnes Bridge.
We don't have a natural replacement for a Kalvin Phillips.
Pack it up now chaps.
So Southgate doesn’t tell them to drop back and take it down a gear? Why do they do it then?
That made me laugh too.
All aboard the Spain train.
Five days ago I was convinced we are winning it. Now I’m at the bottom of the barrel. Giving off the “tournament football” lines against Serbia and Denmark is such small time mindset and we’ll get soundly drubbed by a good team when we see them. We should be smashing all three of these cunts with ease.
The manager is 100% the problem. Our team is packed with players who play high energy stuff every week and today they looked like they were on a MacMillan coffee morning.
I was in the same position but then that Rooney 2004 film blew my mind as to how much better our players were then.
Previously I'd have thought it would take a good team to beat us (and that beat us they would), but now I'm not so sure. Anyone vaguely competent with nothing to lose in the knockout stages should see to us if we continue to play like that.
Fucks sake Ben. So I'll be the only one celebrating when we win the thing then, love it.
Your eye problem is worse than you realise lad.
So I see that England are still 4/1 joint favourites to win this (with France and now Germany) but Harry Kane's goal has moved him into 11/2 favourite to be top scorer.
I was expecting some properly indignant half-crazed rants when I logged on here, but I guess this pervasive sense of deflation fits the performance better.
All hopes pinned on a fake sheikh exposé of Gareth ushering in a second reign of Allardyce.
What was the minute silence for? Donald Sutherland?
How old is Donnarumma now? 19? He’s got a comb over covering a balding head.
Is there some sort of law that all games in this tournament need to be a team in red versus a team in white?
Ah, competent footballers who can pass and cross the ball to each other. How I've missed you.
No chance, he's been around for ages. He's got to be mid-20's atleast.
A former UEFA General Secretary.
Horrendous.
Weirdly I feel more angry about this than I remember being about a lot of our avoidable major tournament losses of yesteryear. It just really pissed me off.
They seem to prefer White vs Color, it just so happens that red is the most common flag color (more than white, somewhat surprisingly).
