Foden should be rested as he's on a booking.

We'd probably get an easier match if we finish third tbh. Weird way the tournament is set up.

I can see how the England fans get frustrated with Sterling, but to date he has scored their only goal and should have (I'll whisper it) been awarded a penalty v Scotland. Just a thought!

Another thought- at least the England players can rest easy about getting Covid as they couldn't get close enough to Billy Gilmour the last game. :lol:

Gilmour was hiding, couldn't find him. You are the very first Scot to have mentioned that, re penalty. If the other way around, all hell would have let loose.

Who?

All that matters is that we are in the next round. It's how you finish a tournament, not how you start one.

This one made me laugh.
'It is not as if Saka is an unknown quantity but he has been England's best player by a distance in the first 45 minutes of a match on one of the biggest stages in the game.

'His performance may not be the best news for Arsenal. Newly established as a mid-table club, they are not best placed to keep hold of their best young talents.'
He did look OK though.

It's a pretty simple question, I'm surprised you can't answer it.

We've been through this before and you couldn't show me talking cabernet even once.

Looked promising today with a bright first half with Grealish and Saka providing the spark . The second half was more or less repeat of the two earlier matches with slow build up and not much spark. Positives are still no goals conceded with Stones and Pickford in great form. To be honest NOC I can't see Southgate changing his approach in the knockout phase.

at this stage, getting out of the group is the aim and England did it comfortably....

I love their Greece impersonation though ;-) ;-) ;-)

This is what is so utterly depressing, he is simply not a good enough footballer to be, tactically, our main man. The likes of Grealish etc. (Foden & Mount stuck out wide WTF?) and to a large extent Kane get sacrificed on and off the pitch to play Sterling (or Rashford) in. He had it put on a plate for him last night but how many stupid mistakes did he make, good teams will piss all over him. I get angry just watching him. We are bypassing really gifted footballers with this chickenshit way of playing. My opinion for what it’s worth is it’s scared football, a waste of talent, frustrating, boring as batshit and I’m not enjoying it.
