Have they actually scored from open play yet?
They are going to grind out a tournament win aren't they
But fate means Ronaldo would score his solitary goal of the tournament against us.
2 own goals and a penalty I think 5live saidHave they actually scored from open play yet?
If there’s any footballing justice Spain will tear them apart2 own goals and a penalty I think 5live said
Zero goals from open play first time ever any side has made the semis
I don't watch every game in all honesty but of those I have watched Spain are easily the best team in the tournament.If there’s any footballing justice Spain will tear them apart
This is true - I had never even heard of Spain's manager before the tournament startedThat’s such a nonsense and you know it. You make these arguments because you think it suits your narrative around Southgate.
It doesn’t and really highlights just how much of a better tournament team we are under Southgate compared to others.
If you remember 2002, we went 1-0 and lost to 10 men - I don’t see you criticising the tactics there. Or in 2004 when we bottled a 1-0 lead in stoppage time v France…
Sven, Capello and even Hodgson were ‘top’ managers and failed miserably. This argument that it would magically be different this era is deeply flawed.
Southgate cut his teeth as a technical director and as an England age-group manager which has laid the foundations for us to be producing world class players better suited to major tournaments. He isn’t a Pep or a Klopp but there’s a reason there are v few top managers at international football. It’s a different ball game!
Easy 2-0 today
Started drinking early?Easy 2-0 today
Am I getting a reputation?Started drinking early?
Ha, was waiting for that one.With goals coming from Xhaka and Embolo.
I sort of got a Kane vibe watching thatMartinez really should’ve hooked the ineffective Ronaldo. Fool.
Kane is still a world class goal poacher, its not his fault he's totally isolated under this inept chump of a manager. Ronaldo on the other hand, is finished.I sort of got a Kane vibe watching that

Not sure that's the only reason he's playing in Saudi . However , I don't think you can play in that league and suddenly be good enough for the euros . The gulf is massive...no pun intendedYeah, see what you mean. Kane looks unfit and isolated, but has stepped up and chipped in. Ronaldo looks isolated and disinterested though. There were parts of yesterday’s game that he resembled a Coventry City Yakubu.
I’d be seething if I was Diogo Jota. He’s done, there’s a reason he plays in Saudi - it’s not just the money.
Weirdly, I am fully expecting a defeat.Fully expect an England win
He has to play Trent surely. Madness
It amazes me tbh , trent plays first 11 in on of the most exciting Liverpool sides in the world over the last 6 or 7 years , only for everybody to continually say he's not good enough .. he's a better footballer than trippier and gives us the added ability of good deliveries in the boxConfirmed Trippier at RWB then. Thats disappointing.
Foden told the female interviewer it was a back 3I look at the players in the lineup and I’m not convinced we will play 343. I reckon that was the plan but Trippier’s made it so we go back to 4231.
Shearer is so much better than Dixon, who is an absolute bell.
He also also looks/acts/speaks like he’s been in the CBS Arena toilets pre game.
