[Football] Euros 2024 - Matchday 12 (Netherlands vs Austria, France vs Poland, England vs Slovenia & Denmark vs Serbia)

[Triggaaar]

i shudder at what Spain or France or even Germany will do to us.

Whilst I would worry about us playing against anyone, France haven't scored a goal in open play (the one they got was an own goal).

southgate sets a low bar and then dives right under it.

It's a talent.

Stones also talking shite.

Team Southgate, they adore him.

Keep the faith, it seems you are

Gordon didn't excel in his four minutes on the pitch....so Gareth doesn't have to play him again!

He could play Grealish instead, far superior player who has a greater impact. Is there a reason he's not named as a sub!!!!!!

 

[drew]

Could we do a Greece, except without the romance of their journey?

Not a chance

So, seems obvious but any right minded manager would have Palmer for Saka from the start and Mainoo for Gallagher.

Most of the game played a pedestrian pace in the first half.

I have no choice but to support us, but I'm not impressed. Palmer was good when he came on and I can't see why others weren't taking them on more.


Games against tougher opposition will be completely different, and if our players produce who knows, but if we do well it will be despite Shitgate, not because of him.

Saka is so over rated, except when playing against the Albion

Beggars belief

With the football writers they’re egotistic too. Bored senseless when managers are secretive and shut them out. Under Southgate they’re at training sessions, GS doesn’t cut press conferences short. For 8 years they’ve been putty in his hands.

Unlike his tactics, clever ploy.

 

[raymondo]

Somehow we've contrived to scrape out of the easiest group in the tournament, scoring 2 goals in 3 matches, both of which were a result of lucky deflected crosses.

And now somehow we get to play a third place team.

All part of Gareth's genius plan

 

[Gabbiano]

England's likely opponents are the Netherlands, who have also looked poor. Then Italy, who have also looked poor. Then maybe Austria, who have actually been the surprise package of the tournament.

Spain and Germany on the other side of the draw. Once again England fall on the favourable side of the draw, but it won't help. We'll lose to the Dutch.

Minimum effort, maximum reward - Gareth is a genius!

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Kane: "All these games are going to be difficult now...these games are tough...they're really, really tough."

Give it an hour or two and he'll start moaning about Lineker, Shearer, etc. criticizing the performance.

Give it a few years and he'll be one of them.

I don’t think Kane will have the requisite communication skills.

 

[Weststander]

ITV’s background music just then … New Order’s Temptation.

Taking positives wherever I can, at least I like Holland.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Southgate is very happy with the clean sheet.

Apparently Kane is pretty good at rapid chess and has a rating of 1200 on chess.com

Tour de France from Saturday .

 

[chaileyjem]

Can't be many times someone has won a group with 2 goals!!

England in 2021 !!
