That’s ridiculous, they’re far too big for Europe.

Yeah those last 15 mins totally tainted the rest of their performance for me .
Call it what you want I won't be getting on board with shithousing being called game management.
Cheating it is and i think they were helped along by the ref who was quite benign to their antics along with four or five occasions across the game .

This twat really shouldn't get away with this should he? It's there for all to see and if that's not bringing the game into disrepute what is

Yep passing it around and taking it to the corner all shithousery, diving on the floor and pretending to be injured is cheating

the Italians never change

Of course they now hold their head to try and stop the game - I’m surprised they aren’t feigning heart attacks

It is cheating but some seeing whatever it takes to win. In my opinion it is cheating and warrants a ban. If Sterling were to dive completely tonight to win a penalty there would be the same people on here slating him.

Anyhoo I don't want to make it sour grapes but I think Belgium came up short.
That ball across for Lukaku would have been buried by Shearer and I think DB head/Heart wilted over the last 30 ,their defence was pretty feeble first half, albeit under a high tempo relentless onslaught.

Thinking about it I reckon sir G will go back 5 tonight. His first instinct is to stop the opposition playing and Ukraine like to get out wide.

Obviously no English player would ever countenance such a despicable act as diving or wasting time.

"Leaked" team is supposedly:

Pickford
Walker Stones Maguire Shaw
Phillips Mount Rice
Sancho Kane Sterling

Where’s my Jacky boy?

I wish they would start sending out loads of fake teams and working out where these leaks are coming from though.

He's always a horses for courses manager. Obviously thinks a natural, right footed winger on that side will cause them problems.

Also there has been talk of him leaving out while his transfer saga rumbled on and now it is pretty much done he may pick him.

I would rather we did do it & win than lose while retaining our sense of fair play, and moaning about injustice while other teams lift the trophies.

Nobody would. All this holier-than-thou talk is laughable.

The line between victory and defeat has never been thinner, fair play is for losers, gamesmanship is for winners- thats the difference sometimes.

Do you think opposition teams seriously change their game plans based on these leaks?

Surely it happens in other countries too right?

Yes. It even helps with stupid things like who each player will be picking up from set pieces. No dramatic changes but enough tweaks.

Even for a full back knowing you will be marking Sancho rather than Grealish helps you prepare in your mind as they’re so different.

The last time we got a leaked England lineup you called Southgate a clown, how did that end up for you?

I think they'd have to- facing Sancho is very different to facing anyone else, it would have to change how the opposition play. Maybe not the whole gameplan but they'd have to bear it in mind

Proven right we were shite until Grealish come on.

No answer to my post either you muppet. I hope for Andy Turner’s sake you have enough brain cells to pour a cup of tea
