His every touch of the ball brings a tremble to my nethers
I like him a healthy amount and think his career is worth a World Cup win
I like him but sod Argentina winning
He's great, obviously, but I don't care if he succeeds or fails
He's great, obviously, but pundits need to settle down
I'm a racist and that's why I hate him
I'm an idiot and will argue he's actually not all that good
I think I'd just full on give up if that happened.
Sean Dyche and its not even up for a debate
In my FM save (2035) France, off five straight World Cup wins, gave the job to Sean Dyche, who promptly lolled my England side out of the Euros. It's written in the stars.
So:
- Potter and Howe are the best options but probably are not available at the minute unless the FA gives Chelsea or Newcastle a ridiculous amount of money.
- The general consensus seems to be no foreign manager apart from Mourinho for the lols (not exactly a serious suggestion).
- The other options available are the likes of Lampard, Bruce, Dyche, Gerrard etc.
Please remind why people want Southgate to resign/be sacked again?
Southgate will not win you a trophy. That alone is enough to get rid.
Somebody else may also not get a trophy, but you're left in the same position.
It's stick or twist. There's absolutely no reason to stick.
How many big tournaments does the average international manager get?
Fairly random.
Feels like the Portugal coach has been going forever. Deschamps the same. Took Low 8 years was it to win something with Germany? England tend to be one and done.
It varies. Some countries go through loads, then you get an Oscar Tavarez who managed Uruguay seemingly forever, and that lounge lizard in charge of Croatia.
Recently the trend seems to have been for stability and for attempting to create a club-like atmosphere in national squads.
Get Sven back.
Have one of the wags offer him some special services, that'll get him out of retirement.
Tuchel and Smallpockets are both free
Cunts, the lot of you.
Ignoring my post.
Give it to ted lasso.
I've been telling people at work that it should be Emma Hayes so I get a pay rise.
Joey must've had money on it.
Interesting if true. Think back to Ronaldo having to re-take one against Arsenal in 2008 and just going down the same side to finish the True Blue Gunner Gooners off as a serious club.
Covid Nonce on it as well. I'm sure Rooney's penalty success was directly related to how important it was. If they were 3-0 up with ten minutes left it was going over every time.
It makes sense.
Has Trashford taken many penalties? He might have been a nice option but imagine he misses and Kane gets called a coward. It's just never going to happen.
He famously took a penalty in the Euro 2020 final that swung the shoot out.
15 scored with only 2 misses.
Not including shootouts like in the Euros.
Is there any other club/country on the footballing planet that has suffered more at the hands of penalties? I know Spain have an atrocious record, but they were unbeatable for four years.
I think the Dutch haven't got a great record either.
Took a great one in somewhat similar circumstances against PSG.
European nations with 4 or more shootouts:
Germany 6-1 86%
Croatia 4-1 80%
Portugal 3-1 75%
Italy 5-4 55%
France 3-4 43%
Spain 2-6 25%
Holland 2-6 25%
Switzerland 1-3 25%
England 2-7 22%
That's basically a list of international overachievers and underachievers in order.
4 of Italy's 5 wins have been against the hopeless trio of England, Holland and Spain. Czech(oslovakia) are 3-0 as well. Must be something to do with dumplings in your diet.

Gerrard? Hasn’t he just been ran out of Villa?
I don't remember anything about Croatia's 3-0 battering of them in 2018 but I'm not having Argies as strong favourites tonight. MON Croatia.
Croatia had strikers back then, still think they have a good chance.
Can't wait for Messi to win it for Argentina tonight and put all you haters in your place.
Pretty much. I was thinking about it over the past few days and have decided that all the Messi salt in here comes from absolute melts. He is the greatest player of all time and deserves to cap that off with a WC title, no matter how much the media are wanking off to him.Can't wait for Messi to win it for Argentina tonight and put all you haters in your place.
I'm happy to be on team melt then.
A wild Maradona shitting on you imperialists and gammons is fantastic scenes but I'm not cheering on the fucking dull moping prick and his band of filthy twats against dons like Croatia (or frankly many other teams).
Croatia completely dominated the argies..Modric ran riot. I'm pretty sure Argentina still had that Rojo in defence.
Courtesy of Gilles Peterson:
Any British person supporting Argentina is a massive mong.
Do you really prefer France winning over Argentina?
Sod it I'm with the melts
100% she's got on OF and she'll put the pictures on there for $100 single tip.
She will get naked regardless.
Poor McCoist stuck between these two melts
Absolutely. From a purely English perspective, the only worse winners would be Scotland or Wales.
Does anyone actually care about the whole islands thing?
That's a cracking penalty.
These penalty decisions
It was a clear penalty I thought.
Have they had a penalty in all of their games?
He ran straight into the keeper. Not sure what the keeper is supposed to do there. Still a penalty, mind.
Glad it was not a red, at least.
Lol, that goal.
He's supposed to not come charging out if he's going to get nowhere near the ball. Not really any different to any other foul where one player beats the other to the ball.
