I've realised why Trippier is in, to take set pieces. Might as well have brought James Ward-Prowse.
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.

This is almost as bad as the Scotland game. Brexit from UEFA, please.
Gallagher is absolutely pointless, Mainoo is ten times the player he is.
What's the bracket looking like from a third place finish?
Bellingham as this advanced roaming 10 is bizarre. He's not that type of player, strolling around doing fuck all.
This is like watching fucking Socceraid.
Trippier needs a cricket bat to his right knee. You could do it on his left leg but it would be pointless as it already doesn’t do anything.
I thought we’d be traditionally English about this but even still the group stage has managed to fall below expectations.
70+% possession. Absolute dominance.Originally Posted by Dark Soldier
Lol Kane.
Right, I've seen enough to call it. This has been better than the Denmark game and the last 60 minutes of Serbia.
Trippier clearly the only player in the squad that's any good at creating chances.
"Spicy backpass".
Fuck off you banter lord.
Yev going for the jinx early doors. I like it.
The real spectacle here is related to yellow cards, seeing as Denmark are ahead of Slovenia courtesy of the disciplinary record tiebreaker.
This is like 2010. At least in 2014 we got done by decent teams.
Rice has been decent. Not sure why we are struggling to get the ball to Sakas feet.
Fucking hell we’ve hit rock bottom
I called that in the last game. It's rancid, rotten and there's no way back, just as then.
If we win the group then the second round is basically Sir Gareth against Ronald Koeman and I know who I'd fancy.
That said, you'd imagine Denmark will get a goal at some point because they have to, so Germany is well and truly on.
EDIT: Denmark don't need a goal do they? For some reason their game isn't updating on the BBC's table.
Against worse opposition, sure.
57th in the FIFA rankings, this lot. Just behind Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
This is awful.
I don't know. I feel like any side with a plan and a bit or urgency could do us, but the Dutch look about as non-coached as we do, so our better individuals might win any shit-off there.I called that in the last game. It's rancid, rotten and there's no way back just as then.

Yeah, it's absolute shite and I've lost count of the number of times an England player wasn't expecting/was expecting another England player to do something. But I wouldn't want to be seen as not being even handed and we have at least ventured into the opposition third.
Maybe, but we're not even doing anything individually so far in this tournament.
Slovenia very clearly playing for the draw.
This may not have been as bad as Denmark, but Denmark are better, and this is still bad.
I don't know why the centre halves don't carry it forward and create an extra man. They've got the space and ability to do it (especially Stones). There's no one on the half turn and nothing unpredictable.
Germany looked pretty bad too. I say IT'S ON.
You do know though, don't you?
Precisely. On course for no losses in the group. Proper football.
*Tournament
Subbing Gallagher.
Mainoo to make the difference and everyone to pile onto Southgate even more?
Finally Mainoo time.
One of their starting strikers is not starting games for the team that finished 4th in the Greek League. We're talking about real quality here.
As for Mainoo coming on, it doesn't really matter who he starts or brings on as ultimately, every single one of them is still being managed by Gareth Southgate.
At least we have a bit of urgency in our attacks today.
Send him off.
I wonder what they talk about at half time, because we never seem to come out and do anything different.
What was the fucking arm movement from Southgate
Looked like Donald Trump’s dance move.What was the fucking arm movement from Southgate
Why is Stones refusing to pass it to Walker? Have they fallen out?
I hope these two matches end 0-0. That would leave the group with just one match being won by anyone. The magic of tournament football.
It can't be stated how much Trippier at left back is causing all of this. It just completely blocks off one side of the pitch.
We are now at the point where commentators and the crowd are praising Southgate... For making substitutes.
Compounded by him refusing to play (or even bring on) a natural left sided player ahead of him too.
It's infuriating.
Not shooting from that free kick.
All things considered, this really has been an amazing display from the first whistle 10 days ago to now.
Nearly 75% possession. If the opposition doesn't have the ball, they can't score. The foundation of the great Barcelona and Spain sides. I can see similarities. Loving this.
Denmark falling to third place because their assistant manager got shown a yellow card, you love to see it.
I admire your fortitude DS, even James can't be arsed to talk about how Argentina were shit in the last World Cup and Portugal won a Euros having drawn their first three games.
