Euro2020 Knock Out Rounds

I think people overrate our attacking players. Southgate played a safety first system because that's how Portugal won the Euros and how most successful International teams play. Playing in this conservative manner has got England to a World Cup semi final and a Euros final. I doubt he'll abandon it now. Meanwhile France and Belgium, who both have far superior players to England, play in a very similar manner. So if you level the accusation at Southgate, you also have to criticise Deschamps and Martinez even more for not "releasing the handbrake". Personally I'd play 1 DMC and play Foden in a creative role in the middle, but it's hard to criticise Southgate based on results.
 
Better team won. Ultimately only managing 6 shots and 2 on target over 120 mins in a home final is disappointing.

Penalty misses happen, just feel sorry that it's 3 young players. Saka especially. He didn't deserve that, but no way he should have been the one stepping up to take that fifth pen. No way at all.
 

I am pretty sure I understood him clearly when he pointed me out to the mods for not seeing everything through the lens of race. There was no misunderstanding there.

Hate to say it, but the racist abuse to those three lads will be incredible...

"was just going to say that

also watch the anti-woke crowd slate them again as of tomorrow morning"

Tsubaki is against the racist abuse, and the anti-woke crowd, I assure you. But I think he may have misunderstood your post. You really are on the same side.

I hope you both patch it up. Good people are good for this place.

My bedtime anyway
