Group D: England, Croatia, Scotland, Czech Republic

Fell asleep for a good 10 mins then.

How on earth did anyone think that was a goal? Even at the time he looked a mile offside?!

 

[Efcjake]

Have England ever been a swashbuckling and entertaining tournament team? Not that I really remember.

This is par for the course but without the hype of, say, the so called golden generation

The hype is almost at golden generation levels after the semi finals in the world cup and young lads like Sancho and Foden being hyped as world beaters.

Hate the tie Southgate has on, one of those with a flat bottom, rather then a triangle, proper wool tie

 

[john jako]

There really aren't other options. Scotland has the core of a decent enough side but when you've got O'Donnell, Dykes and that like starting it isn't going to work out.

Just got to play a number 10 behind Adam’s or something. He’s held the ball up about twice the whole tournament. Apart from that done nothing. Shame as I think think if they had a goal scorer they could of progressed from this group.

Gutted Scotland are going out but taking solace in the fact Robertson will be really upset.

Patterson done more in 5 mins than O’Donnell did in 3 games.

Kane and Rashford can put in some proper garbage performances and still get priority over DCL, Southgate is a massive massive tory.

I think Rashford would do well playing off DCL, actually we might see it next season when ManU buy DCL

 

[Mozza1987]

Woeful performance. Southgate is clueless.

The issue at that point becomes they don't have any decent wide players. I actually don't really know that there is a good way for them to setup that can do better than what they've done here. Which without a ridiculous number of stunning goals scored against them is within a shout of advancing.

Haha, the semi was hilarious. Was always going to blow it. Very luck to get there.

I've not noticed the hype so much about the two younger players, but I try to avoid most of the outside world bar work and this forum. The Euros more recently. Like a really weird hermit.

Yes, lockdowns have a lot to answer for.

Like I said during the Scotland game, Kane has been like Shearer in Euro 2000, think he needs the armband taken off to get his mojo back

How on earth did anyone think that was a goal? Even at the time he looked a mile offside?!

It did look like it took 1-2 touches off Czech players first like

 

[ste d' indica]

Dreadful game.

 

[Billy Dean]

Won the group and then out to France, Portugal or Germany. About par for this team and no disgrace in that.
