England v Slovakia 5pm 30/6

[Lord Camomile]

Has. Been. Coming.

You cant say thats not been coming.

Lee Dixon: You can't say that hasn't been coming

I dont believe it

Huh, really?

Good match this

That's probably because you think England are in the lead on expected throw ins or some other pointless metric

Say you know nothing about football without saying you know nothing about football

 

[BristolEcho]

We'd be winning this if we had Kalvin Phillips that's the worst thing about this whole situation.

No TAA running up the right wing putting in killer crosses

"Hi, I'm Strung Out"

 

[ska invita]

Englands ability to pass it around between the back four is the best I've seen in the tournament (apart from when they give it away)

 

[planetgeli]

There were massive gaps all over the defence. That goal could have been scored from many positions. Walker hasn't existed at right back yet, it's just an empty space there all the time with songbirds tweeting and a Slovakia attacker hanging around.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I mean, neither cross quite came off, but at least we're actually attacking them and putting them on the front foot a bit.

69% possession. Data analysis is sacred.

 

[Monte]

Their mistake is scoring too early.
They've given England too much time to respond.

Yeah, if I can see the problems, that really is a problem.

 

[Steel Icarus]

What's so frustrating is that everyone can see that something has to change but Southgate seems incapable or unwilling to be brave enough to do it

Do you mean back foot?




no probably not

 

[zedr]

this is painful.

 

[Hollis]

Maybe going a goal down is good news.. England either have to stop playing lethargic shite or they go home. Either way it rather forces the issue.

[Moar Later..]

 

[Lord Camomile]

no probably not

Ha! Ah, yes, I did

 

[imposs1904]

You forget how young Bellingham is . . . until he gets all petulant.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Well, at least we can look forward to this evening and watching Spain concede 3.4 XG while beating Georgia 3-0 or something.

(FTR, I'm actually quite a fan of stats, incl. XG, but depends how you use/interpret them...)

 

[ska invita]

Maybe going a goal down is good news..

 

[Wilf]

End to end

Side to side.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Some of our balls into the box are at least looking vaguely promising.

However, it's very noticeable how much less space our players have in their box than we've afforded them in ours.

 

[imposs1904]

This isn't in the script, lads.

England are supposed to be knocked out in the quarter finals.

[Steel Icarus]

To quote from Black Books, this is everything I expected and less.

 

[skyscraper101]

Dismal. Absolutely fucking dreadful.

England deserve to be knocked out.

Lovely to see the intricate passing between midfield and forwards that you get so much in the Premier League.


Sorry, it would be lovely ...

 

[A380]

So is the ref on a bonus foe every yellow card?

 

[two sheds]

has a quota for his spread betting i think
