[Football] Euros 2024 - Semi Final - Netherlands vs England

[timbha]

I imagine they've removed the countdown to kick off for the semi finals, now that they're over

What about before they were over?

Credit to Southgate for putting Watkins on.

He hadn’t played any minutes since the Denmark game. Toney has been preferred since.

But he was chosen tonight and there must have been a reason behind that decision.

Pace

What are you on about?
Southgate’s still a twerp.
and why would anyone be bitter?

Southgate won us that game

Look at his record

People just hate

Firstly, I have the humble pie in the cupboard ready to go for Sunday!

Secondly, Southgate made the subs that anyone with a rudimentary understanding of football would have made but they would have made them 10 minutes earlier. Not rocket science!

Thirdly, he needs to go against type in the final and not pick players that he feels comfortable with but those that will cause the spanish problems. Kane isn’t going to do that!

Fourthly, Netherlands were the worse team we’ve played so far which says much about the standard of European National football.

Finally, we have got where we are more by luck than judgement, but when you only have one more game, it doesn’t matter as long as you win.

Literally every single paragraph you’ve written is horse shit

Thanks for that. So who were worse than Netherlands? Commentators were crying out for changes at least ten minutes before they happened and the general consensus is that Kane isn’t up to it this tournament. So yeah horse shit.

All the teams we played were worse

Commentators are the main reason sheep people are so negative

Luckily we have a football manager that knows best

As for Kane . Most people realise he’s part of the team and good to start but we have options when needed

No offence but try not to be blinded by media negativity. You will enjoy it more

I think as Albion fans we can make our own decisions watching games without being accused of being media led sheep.

Kane was a passenger in the second half last night and was subbed too late. I was calling it before the commentators

Just my opinion though.

Try not think everyone thinks like you. Kane has been a passenger and Netherlands were gash, as were most teams to be honest. On paper we’re are the best, in reality we are snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. We are better than that.

Kane played poorly, this includes CB’s throughout the tournament owning him when he tried to play target man. Called by many of us in real time throughout the games including last night.

Southgate has the football media in his pocket. Henry Winter, John Cross and mates go weak at the knees when talking about him.

He played a PR blinder from the very beginning. Unlike Capello and others, he gives full access to training, he doesn’t cut press conferences short. They love that.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Not a bad way to celebrate a victory putting us through to the Euros Final
Apols if fixtures

Exactly this. We can all draw our own conclusions from what we've just watched.
First three games - bad.
Quarters/semi - good.
In reality all our games have been slightly differing shades of brown.

Pace

Obviously.

My point was he analysed the situation and put on the right player to do the damage.

I was expecting him to put on Toney as he had done in the recent games.

Don't agree with the clamor to drop Kane, he's scored 3 (joint top with a few) and has the right mentality for Southgate. He needs to be on the pitch incase of a pen and he's always been the type to play shite but still be in the right place to score. Maybe sub in at 75 but he has to start against Spain for me.

Better bloody not drop him. Ok, only £60 but a winning bet is a winning bet

Precisely. i checked back on a BBC report yesterday about the Slovenia match, which it referred to as drab, then referring to the Slovakia match as being abysmal. But I didn’t need to BBC to tell me that. I could see it with my own eyes!

Is that same Henry Winter who said that England have “a Champions League squad but a Europa League manager”?

It’s fake, he didn’t wear a yellow kit. Just as well as it’s very disrespectful….and a makes him look an idiot.

 

[Surf's Up]

Southgate hasn't got a shred of tactical nouse other than to rely on misguided loyalty and to hope his best players produce the goods
