I can’t quite believe how poor Bellingham has looked in these three games. I don’t remember him sprinting once and when he does get the ball he either passes backwards or gives it away. This is the La Liga player of the year for fuck sake.
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.

How the fuck is Ilicic still playing? He must be about 45.
Someone will score in Denmark-Serbia so we need to pinch one here.
He's clearly gamed the bracket even if no one else is.Originally Posted by Serj
Is that so they avoid Germany?
If only we had a player who could break from midfield and finish.
Zidane never sprinted either.
He was Supurb for the first half an hour against Serbia. But yeah, since then he's done fuck all.
Poor refereeing from Turpin. There was no reason to stop the game there.
Wait I thought they'd changed it so they don't stop the game unless it's a head injury? Why has the ref blown there?
Yeah what he said
Yeah and look how that worked out for him. Bald.
The ref booking Foden for that is proper petty stuff.
The midfield maestro
Palmer and Mainoo are significant upgrades but won't start the next game.
Thank you. Not everyone has the desire to stick to the path of truth with every post.
It’s alright, Kyle Walker is there now. Problem solved.
Serbia denied a clear penalty here, as much as I want the Danes to win (about as obvious a shirt-pull as you're likely to see). Not a good look for the referee
An 89th minute attacking sub. Sign of a man in control of everything.
Bringing Anthony Gordon on in the 89th minute is unreal. Best possible chance to show what he can do.
Has anyone informed Southgate that there's a way to actually make 5 substitutions?
He's taken Trippier and Foden off because they got booked and he doesn't want them suspended for his next inspiring selection. No other reason.
These are the only minutes Gordon is getting isn't it?
Great sub from Gareth. Bring the quick players in late to run at tired defenders. Love that.
I don't know about you, but I'm impressed at the quality of tournament football on display.
Yellow card table check, please.
Yep, these boys have really rammed the "you're shit" jibe down Lineker's throat.
Tiki taka
Jesus Christ thank fuck for that.
Lol at Pickford trying to get the fans cheering.
Pickford trying to pump up the crowd
They genuinely believe this is a success, don't they?
Well, that's the shittiest group stage performance I can ever remember England putting in. Even in 2010 we had the wherewithal to score against Slovenia in the last game.
Are Slovenia second, then?
It's a shame Denmark couldn't grab a goal to send you right into Germany.
Sack off the whole group. Shouldn't be allowing these minnows into serious international tournaments.
They really need to cut the teams qualifying by half.
Is there any prospect of Luke Shaw being able to play any time soon?
@DS
Your summary of the group stage, please.
Even if he does he won't be fit. We're going out on Sunday anyway.
England are winning it all. How on earth do you serve this up three times over and still finish top and avoid any half decent sides.
Seethe
The worst part about all of this is that it never looked in doubt. You can't play like this on accident. Is Southgate banking on some fitness advantage nonsense?
Final dispatch from Dutch TV is Marco van Basten, with what looks like a large glass of red wine, looking like he has aged about 100 years from what he looked like at the start of the game, or perhaps he's had a bottle and a half of the wine.
Holland, while a shadow of what they've been, would represent the biggest footballing nation we've ever knocked out of a tournament on foreign soil. It's far from a done deal.
This is the only reason he brought Mainoo on as well, sadly.
Maybe he'll somehow land on the Wafflez-Wharton nightmare but I doubt it. Mainoo at least carries some sort of attacking threat with his neat little flicks and the impetuosity of youth.
I mean he could be, but I suspect it's much more likely he doesn't know what he's doing.
Top of the group, undefeated. Dominated possession, the players out there like absolute warriors. Trippier the one man army nullifying the opposition.
We got a taste of Mainoo, Palmer and Gordon. Sir Gareth has been fantastic with them, have them chomping at the bit, frothing. Build the fans up. But he muzzled them, kept them under control. Unleashed them like a pack of Bully XLs in this match and we saw the rewards reaped.
I know Yev thinks I'm just putting this on or something, but you can talk all about razzmatazz, show, flair, fun. However, like all the great things in this world, such as Christianity, glory is built on belief. and I honestly know that come the 14th of July, we will all be newly formed members of the religion of Sir Gareth. Onwards we march.
Three Lions on a shirt,
Henri Delaunay will be gleaming.
It's unreal. Does the end of that play about him end up with him walking off like Keyser Soze?
You weren't putting it on at the start, but after a knock in the 2nd half shitfest against Serbia it all completely unravelled against Denmark and you've been playing up to it ever since.
Its okay for us to be opposites Yev, I still like you.
Just reeks of euro 2020. The Dutch and the Germans back then are very similar.
Hoping whoever in the final is slightly better than that Italy side were however
