England vs Spain, Sun 14/7 @ 8pm (BBC & ITV)

[Ax^]

Bye bye Southgate

hmm England getting rid of their most successful coach in the modern era

what could go wrong

 

[dessiato]

To be totally honest I wasn't always sure Spain would win tonight, I thought England were definitely the equal and with only a little more luck it would have been an England win.

 

[strung out]

Spurs: it's contagious.

Even Bayern managed to catch it.

 

[Boo Radley75]

Oh well, we got a goal, we didn't get hammered and two Euro finals in a row is a very good record. Time to rebuild for the world cup in two years now, though. Thank you Kane but sorry, you're too slow and done now. Foden is better kept on the bench than played out of position. We need to develop some decent left sided players. Bellingham, Palmer, Saka look to be key players in 2 years, along with Rice who I see as our next captain. Guehi and Mainoo could well be even better by then too.

Oh, and Cucurella is a diving cheating shit and I fully empathise with Germany in their hatred for him.

Two close decisions within the last 24hrs

fair play for saving that one all day

 

[planetgeli]

You can't play a "low block" with a statue up front.

Lineker just said the same thing but more politely.

 

[1927]

Guess football will be back at Centrepoint tonight then.

 

[two sheds]

A lot of England's strength is that we have players who can run with the ball and go past people - Saka, Bellingham, Palmer particularly, they just didn't do that enough in the tournament.

 

[Favelado]

We’ve still got 50 years before 3 Lions needs an extra syllable and doesn’t scan anymore.

They're not getting rid. They want him to stay. He won't.

 

[skyscraper101]

At least it didn't go to penalties.

 

[tommers]

Lineker just said the same thing but more politely.

I said it before the fucking game even started. Jesus christ. He didn't win a single duel.

Thank you for noticing . I was worried I would have to wait for another opportunity to use it .

 

[Lord Camomile]

Let's all take a moment to mark Juan Mata's restraint over the next section...

 

[Ax^]

They're not getting rid. They want him to stay. He won't.

not a football fan but most of the talk I've heard during this euro was get rid of Southgate not keep him in the job. some nasty shite to

if he know wants out fair play to him

thankless job

Kane’s still a great player. He’s just clearly not fit and completely shagged after his season at Bayern. I mean he scored 36 in 32 last season in the Bundesliga so I don’t think he’s done just yet.

 

[Lotte]

Don’t. The Spanish are bad losers. It’s a good thing about our culture that we do the magnamanity.

If a team play well, I don't see what's so bad about pointing that out. It wasn't like Spain were utter dogshit.

60 years of hurt rolls.off the tongue better than 58 as well

You know it'll be Potter or someone. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if Southgate stepped down, given how hated he is. Even though the guy's the most successful coach we've had since Venables.

I don't get how Southgate is a fraud tbh. Usually I see that name reserved for Roberto Martinez.

Just 12. Sev en tee

 

[1927]

Southgate's loyalty to old man Kane was a big factor I reckon. He didn't warrant a start tonight.

But he's the best England player of all time!

 

[Favelado]

If a team play well, I don't see what's so bad about pointing that out. It wasn't like Spain were utter dogshit.

Yeah we agree then

 

[1927]

Their 2nd goal must have been a microscopic mist off being offside.

So not offside then.

 

[Favelado]

Just 12. Sev en tee

Oh yeah. I like to imagine it as sounding as old-fashioned as Rule Britannia one day. A piece of classical music.

 

[Lotte]

Oh yeah, I was backing your point up. I could be butthurt about it but what is point. Spain were better than us. End of.

 

[SpookyFrank]

It should still be in Southgate's gift if he stays or not. The players love him and he's done better than any England manager in my lifetime.

 

[Humberto]

England really fought hard I thought.

 

[strung out]

But he's the best England player of all time!

I was wondering when you’d turn up

 

[tommers]

Like flies round shit.

 

[Hollis]

Can someone explain why Kane started every game? What am I missing?
