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.
Almost all the "big" teams so far seem happy to rotate their team (albeit Spain I think were guaranteed top), England, well Southgate, seems to absolutely dread it.
Seems like he wants to pick his best XI players regardless of opposition, the tactic (lol), or anything else.
Slovenia being fairly happy with a draw doesn't really bode well for this match.
That is a fucking shocking line up given the first 2 games.
Southgate has gone from a three piece suit to a short-sleeved white quarterzip, this is a man regressing in front of our very eyes.
What is England's game plan here lol.
10 minutes and no attempts.
After all of the talk of coming out to prove a point I was worried I wouldn't get to see Harry Kane's fantastic range of passing, but there he is, 40 yards from his own goal, sandwiched in between our central midfielders spraying a ball.
Why even bother taking 26 players when he only realistically intends on playing about 15 of them. Southgate is so unimaginative and wooden it’s infuriating.
Austrian commentators are completely shocked by the poor technique on display from various England players here.Already getting ideas above our station, I am loving it.
Harry Kane was a foot away from making it a hat-trick of touches in the box this tournament though.Originally Posted by Magic

Well this is already shit. What channels Denmark on?

This is borderline unwatchable so far. Just some men kicking it to each other slowly.
Wearing that thing under a sportscoat should have earned him the death penalty.
That normally works out well for everyone.Austrian commentators are completely shocked by the poor technique on display from various England players here.
Surprised this team that has lacked any bit of creation in the first two games are continuing to lack creation in game three despite Connor Gallagher being added. Something is up.
And still failing half the time.
Lee Dixon commentating on this is perfect harmony, btw.
As funny as this all is, you wonder how a supposed professional bunch of coaches have spent weeks with this bunch of talented players, for them to have zero idea of what to do.
Bloody hell we actually got a cross into the box. Progress.
Yes, our manager is atrocious.
We've imported a German leader this time around, everything will be different.
I have Dutch commentary and in between all the gobbledegook he keeps saying 'Shearer, Lineker and Rooney'. Not sure whether he is yearning for the glory days of English forwards, or referring to their punditry sesh on the BBC the other day.
Wondering that is the full extent of the excitement I've been able to muster so far.
Fucking hell, that was actually good and it's offside. :sad:
20 minutes no attempts.
Steve Clarke is Gareth Southgate.
Given both goals we have scored came from deflected crosses, the only actual chance I can recall us creating this entire tournament was that header that Kane should have buried against Serbia that was saved. Maybe you could count that narrow angle no one is ever scoring from effort that Watkins had when he came on.
Said this many times before, but a 1 game ban after receiving 2 yellow cards over 3 games is fucking stupid.
Who’s he with? Matterface?
When Trippier got booked he was like ‘that puts him on … a yellow card’cheers for that, Sam.

Bellingham must have a worse pass completion rate in this game than peak-England Gerrard.
I agree. They should get rid of that stupid rule. Can't believe it has been like that for decades now.
Watching Southgate turn Bellingham in to Michael Brown really is a joy to watch.
Do the opposition coaches, including this rather fetching-looking chap in a baseball cap, actually prepare for Harry Kane playing as a sort of Clodoaldo / Nobby Stiles hybrid at the base of midfield? Maybe it's meant to upset their plans.
Get TRENT on at half time.
What an abysmal group this has been in its entirety. Can't quite recall the Denmark-Slovenia game (though that's sort of an indication), but has there been an actual good game?
Just chuck Palmer on (for literally anyone except Bellingham) and let him do his thing. He’s so much better than any of this lot.
I'm a twit
I hope Argentina-Chile tonight salvages this god-awful day of football (didn't watch the dutch lose).
Betfair were offering a MATCH SPECIAL at evens for England to have a shot in the first 20 minutes lol.
To think we are a nation that is consistently top 10, if not top 5, ranked in the world and we haven’t won a trophy in 58 years. There’s something in our DNA at this level.
Serbia - Slovenia was a good watch. Plenty of spectacle and a fantastic second half.
30 minutes no attempts.
Genuinely have no idea why you’d have a player like Foden on the left. He should be either cutting inside or just in the hole. Makes no sense at all
Oh god, you've done it now.
OMG an attempt!
Trust him, he is a doctor.
Trippier needs to stop taking throws in and just playing back to Guehi. Keep momentum going forward, dickhead.
Dixon blaming the pitch.
Forward? That's not the way.
Silky passes, grit, determination. Solid show so far. Come on lads.
