England v Slovakia 5pm 30/6

[Lord Camomile]

Southgate is famously rumoured to be the player who said of an Eriksson halftime team talk "We needed Churchill but we got Iain Duncan-Smith".

We'll have to wait and see who we get this time.

 

[planetgeli]

Just give it to Mainoo.

 

[hash tag]

I need to get some sleep before work. This will help.

 

[strung out]

Some decent attacking sequences from England.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Much better at the end there. Mainoo taking players on and driving forwards.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Shit England is great for bantz. From the Beeb website: "Typical England - it goes 1-0 and we sit back"

Portillo if it carries on like this.

 

[Wilf]

So unbalanced, lacking, bite, uninspired, way less than the sum of the parts.

Are we the Man United of international football?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Lots and lots of jeers from England fans greet the half-time whistle. The Three Lions are heading out of Euro 2024 as it stands.

I get it, but I still think in the stadium this kinda thing is counter productive.

It just compounds the bad mood around the squad. They know this isn't good enough, they don't need to be booed and jeered.

 

[Bingoman]

Time to get palmer and Watkins on and get kane and saka off

 

[Wilf]

Shades of Hodgson's England v Iceland. Think they wore blue as well.

Ooh, Gary Neville just said the same.

 

[planetgeli]

You can't deny his record and what that means but Kane looks like he's playing Sunday league out there. Some of that was embarrassing for him.

Shades of Southgate's England v Iceland!

Yeah, it's really bizarre.

The whole team, really. I never quite bought into the world beaters hype, but we've been better than this at recent tournaments

Yep, at one point on the right side of the pitch two yards inside our half hitting a long pass then wheezing towards the opposition goal at about 3 mph. With piles

 

[Lord Camomile]

Would love to know anyone not from England who thinks this has been good.

And let's face it, if we tried to put a positive spin on this performance, we'd get absolutely pilloried by other nations as delusional and entitled.

 

[BristolEcho]

I don't have anything against Trippier, but he's obviously not able to pay left back. Every time it comes he has to switch on to his right and it just comes inside so there is no outlet. Tragic he didn't bring Mitchell.

Sorry quoted you by accident.

 

[The39thStep]

Embarrassing here.The Portuguese all briefly laughed when they scored .There are two other English who've just talked through the game and I'm sitting at a table with George the Romanian who is trying to be polite about England .

Awkward English embarrassment seems appropriate

 

[zedr]

lmao no changes. gotta laugh at this stage.

/serious mode engaged/

Yeah, nobody thinks England have been any good, but the tweet is still accurate.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Frozen by indecision. Utterly baffling

 

[kabbes]

The problem is that there’s no single clear vision of what an England attack looks like. Without that, the team relies on individual players to do something imaginative. But it’s hard to do that without knowing where your team mates are going to be in 5 seconds’ time. England have no “commander’s intent”, no clarity of purpose.

 

[tommers]

Everybody screaming for change. Lee Dixon is "sure he's made some tactical changes but can't see them at the moment".

Southgate changes nothing.

Masterclass.

 

[imposs1904]

I think I saw more of Bellingham in the half time ITV adverts than I did in the first half.

It's what the opposition least expected!!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Weeeeeeell... huh!



Waiting for the offside ruling...
