Scotland currently 2 points better off in their group after the same number of games as England
I doubt anyone expected that before the campaigns started

They should just sack him before he gets on the plane home

Solid performance, if frustrating. Credit to Ukraine they had the right game plan and the England team just couldn’t break them down outside of Walker’s goal. Beat Italy next month at Wembley and that should do it I reckon
[Poor language removed] performance more like it

Dion Dublin took the art of expert analysis to a new low. The exact opposite of everything he said seemed to happen within a few minutes.

Did he use his famous rainbow laces?

Looks like the sun no for Flick
They're getting nowhere without a proper world class striker.

Germany can hire whoever they like - they're still crashing out of their own party next summer before the real business begins. They simply do not have the players. The few who are technically good - Kimmich, Havertz, Sane - are either gutless, complacent, mentally weak, or a combination of all three. And most of the rest are second rate. Gösens is held up as a lad with a good attitude, but he's a donkey. The Japanese retired him tonight. The Germans have compounded this dearth of talent with a profound absence of leadership and a soupcon of complacency born of their exploits up to 2014. They've been in decline since that night in Rio, but have been congratulating themselves ever since and were still in denial even after the seismic capitulation in Russia, let alone the abject showing at Euro 2020 and the humiliation of Qatar.
10 months later? Nothing has been learned. Many of the same players who failed in Russia, at Wembley, and in Qatar are still around... What were they expecting? That Kimmich would start showing some leadership? He's more Scrappy-Doo, less Lothar Matthäus.
Living here in Berlin, the pfennig finally appears to have dropped for the public. Flick has to go - but replacing him is a gamble prompted by panic. There is no viable succession plan. France could absolutely humiliate them in Dortmund on Tuesday. That might actually be the best thing in the long run for German football, because the overweening sense of entitlement and self-regarding complacency that has infected German football over the last decade has corroded the short and medium-term future. They'll be waiting for their under-17 European champions to come through before they can hope to be contenders again.
