[Football] England v USA

[Popeye]

Very proud of our effort in the first half, and should have scored one of our chances. Main concern I have is Saka is getting behind our defense too easily. Looking forward to a good secon half. Come on boys!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Come on the Yanks!

 

[Zeberdi]

Shame it’s not 1-0 up to USA going in - we might have got a decent game in the second half

 

[St Leonards Seagull]

Frustrating watch, no closing down when they don’t have the ball.

 

[jcdenton08]

That was terrible.

 

[perseus]

Time to lump on England

HT 0-0. As expected, perhaps a bit better as we haven't conceded. Two England goals in the second half predicted. One from a cross.

 

[Eric the meek]

Some people have paid thousands to go out to Qatar and watch this.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Remember when Burnley came to the Amex and we all dreaded them sticking 10 behind the ball and playing 'not football' to get a scoreless draw and they came flying out at us and we had no response at all over 90 mins, 0-3 ?

Well, that

 

[fly high]

Possession:-USA 38%, Slabhead & Stones 50%, rest of England players 12%

 

[Guinness Boy]

Frustratingly poor considering a win gets is through. Need to move the ball far quicker

 

[Gabbafella]

Bit boring really. Extremely slow build up and no end product, can see the septics nicking a winner, England have been shite.

 

[Swansman]

England doesn't dare take any risks... wanting that 0-0. Could well get punished and then it will be squeaky bum vs Wales.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

So, so, so dull. But we shouldn't be surprised, should we? This is the England, the real England, the "oh God, that's 45 minutes of my life ii won't get back" England we all know. If they don't/wont/can't liven it up a bit in the second half, we can all agree we don't stand a chance in hell of winning this competition.

 

[Is it PotG?]

They'll most likely fade as they did against the Welsh.

Think we'll nick it one nothing.

 

[Zeberdi]

Why’s Foden on the bench

Something needs to be done about closing down McKennie - he’s playing high and dominating the Midfield

Phil Foden anyone?

 

[jcdenton08]

Mount has been particularly bad

Edit: and Tripper

Edit: and Maguire

Actually they’ve all been shit.

 

[WATFORD zero]

If RdZ had Southgate's number we'd be sorted.

Move the F***ing thing QUICKER

 

[nicko31]

England need to move it quicker. Hopefully US tire like against wales

 

[banjo]

I wish they could play without fear of losing. It’s the way to win this competition.

 

[Swansman]

They'll most likely fade as they did against the Welsh.

Think we'll nick it one nothing.

Sure, there's a decent chance. They are dependant on running more than England (and they gladly do) but obviously that means some tired legs in the final 20 or so.
