[Football] England v Greece match thread

Yes. That was laughable. A team full of the talents, with zero plan, strategy or tactics.
It was obvious we were f***ed after the first 5 minutes.
Not sure if it was a lack of nous and balance, or a lack of tactics.
The thing that amazes me is that after 7 years and a well-telegraphed departure of Southgate, England had no succession plan.
Can you imagine Tony Bloom randomly giving Andrew Crofts 6 games in the EPL to see whether he might, you know, be OK, if Fab were to leave?
FFS. Amateurish wank. Unbelievable.

Yes, playing football that’s outdated by 30 years is definitely the way forward.
In fact we’d have probably won 1996 if only we’d played in red, used a heavy orange laced ball and let Alan Ball kill half our opponents.

Get the f*ck in Greece, great result for them and a wonderful tribute for George
Look where Stones was when the ball went in the net ….. 5 times. For their 2nd he was nearly level with Pickford. Very poor everywhere tonight.
If Venables had quashed the drinking culture and laddism (that would have resulted in bullying of ugly powder puffs like Foden and the Chelsea munter whose name has momentarily escaped me) he would have been good.I was more thinking of the leadership qualities
There are countless elite managers available. Many are English. That lad at Luton. There will be others. Carsley is......well. An under 21 boys manager. And he needs to f*** off. f*** right off now. f*** off.

People LOVE IT when England get beat don't they. "I'm never watching them again", etc etc.
Till the next tournament rocks up.

I lost the desire to watch England along time ago, mainly focus on what's important.
No need for me to mention what team

That was just so disappointing. I can't remember being so disappointed by an England performance.
Hungary destroying Southgate’s team at Molyneux a couple of years ago?

Ok, I'm guilty of recency bias. It doesn't take away from the ineptitude of tonight's performance against another nation of 10 million people.

I loved the man. He was so proud to be England manager.
Unfortunately getting to semi-finals and finals of major tournaments wasn't enough for 95% of England fans.
Tonight was astonishing. Outplayed by underdogs at home for 90 minutes, the coach did little to alter that, up front a rag tag bunch of too many selfish players thinking they were Messi when in possession.

We won't qualify for the 2026 World Cup if Carsley the clown gets the job!

As performance art, it had several plus points.
