Has anyone ever sacked a manager mid tournament? This is a f***ing joke of a performance. Exactly the same as the Euro 2020 final, just let them dominate and hope we don't score. Southgate is a f***ing cretin.

This second half has been poor from England. I'm all for soaking up the first 10 mins of pressure and let Serbia burn themselves out, but this is poor now, should be in control of this.

Or scoring and sitting back....

Signs were there in last World Cup in the group Stage as to what would happen as soon as we met a good side, same thing here.
It's just the classic "We'll be found out as soon as we meet a good team",
"Oh, we beat them? They must have been shit then."

I'll let it play out before I judge anybody too harshly.

It seems that England have managed to put out 10 players, all of whom are incapable of putting in the effort or sprinting in order to create a high (or medium) press. Now I do love a bit of traditionalism but it's almost as if the last 10 years of football tactics development never happened :shrug:

There's just been too many examples of this happening though for it not to be a coincidence. Our best hope with Southgate is getting lucky with penalties in the later stages.

When did socks become so restrictive that the players now want to wear fishnets?
It’s odd that over night numerous players felt their socks were too tight and no one has thought of wearing a bigger size. This also flies in the face of science which suggests compression in socks is a good thing.
