I want Portugal to win as well.

Funniest thing ever.

The good news, of course, is that we’d have only faced one of them!

I think people en masse are seeking simple answers to complex questions.

More coherent plays a massive part, I agree. The dominant Spanish team of 2008-2012 was effectively picked from 2 clubs. Always makes a difference. There are a number of those players who weren't particularly good - looking at Ricardo, Valente, Maniche, Costinha. Obviously we led in the game...

Whilst I agree with the premise that international football was far more competitive, it’s a hell of a stretch to put Sweden in that fold. Just going to put the respective lineups for our knockout games next to each other: Now it seems Ljungberg didn’t play in their game but I wouldn’t be...

In short, no.

I kind of follow your thinking, but if we had Saka at LB then from an attacking perspective you’d want Foden same side as Gordon may end up occupying the same areas of the pitch. Maybe you lean more on Rice to cover the LB spot when Saka drifts forward, but that then potentially exposes the...

Agree on that and I’ve wanted Gordon to start since the start of the tournament. As mentioned previously I genuinely think the bike crash he had the other day probably limited his chances of getting minutes today. He’s got scuffs and scrapes everywhere. Saka seems to like receiving the ball...

Very rarely create 1v1s for them which is a huge part of the issue.

Not talking about quality of performance, simply shape. For the first time this tournament we had a left footer playing at left back - my immediate thought was that Foden would finally have someone overlapping. He promptly buggered off to play in the inside right channel.

Anyway, yeah. We managed to get some width into our play when Saka went to LB but it coincided with Foden going to float around on the right hand side. Absolutely braindead. I am confident all of Walker, Bellingham, Saka and Kane are carrying injuries at the moment but there’s a sheer lack of...

Congratulations, you managed to do a whole post without the word “cuck”.

I’m massively concerned that neither Southgate nor any of his coaching staff understand systems of play.

Well the official search has been called off but the family are going to have to double check he’s not accidentally made his way to New York.

Gordon probably didn’t help his cause by falling off his bike!

It is, but I fear we’ll have to get to a place where any contact with the hand/arm is handball regardless of intent.

As someone else mentioned previously, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Owen Beck come in at LB.

Now you’re just making stuff up. There was absolutely an acceleration of house prices at the outset of the stamp duty holiday. You’ve reduced the cost to move whilst supply remains the same, of course it’ll see an increase in the price point. It’s basic economics. Firstly, £25k moving costs...

Don’t disagree and didn’t suggest that stamp duty was the only contributor, but it definitely has an inflationary impact.
