England to win 2-0. I like that score.

Yipchaa!
3-0, following the Fibonacci sequence*.
*yes, technically the Scotland match is out of sequence

Ukraine are playing well and pressing hard so no pushover.
However...
They traveled to Scotland
Narrowly beat Sweden who had 10 players for the last 20 minutes.
Played a physical 120 minutes with a late kick off. The players looked dead on their feet at the end of the game.
Next they are travelling to Italy to play a fired up, young England team who played 90 minute's and rested the evening.
I am feeling confident about a strong England performance/win within 90 mins. Think 0-3 or 1-3 final score.

Your a dreamer, but you're not the only one
No I’m older, dafter and don’t get out much!Your a dreamer, but you're not the only one
Slava Ukraini!
I watched the whole of the match yesterday. It was a surprisingly decent game for the most part with Ukraine staring brightly but not really offering much after half time except the odd counter attack.
The red card changed everything and fair play to Ukraine for the ambition they showed in the last ten minutes of extra time when a lot of teams would have cruised to penalties. It was though a real slog for both teams and I can't remember a match when I saw so many players needing medical treatment. Sure, there was a fair bit of am-dram (especially from Ukraine) but there was also a lot of genuine injuries. Both teams looked out on their feet and were collecting injuries like panini stickers.
Ukraine will do really well to pick themselves up from that and put another shift in in three and a bit days.

Nearly as bad as Badgers
Southgate will play the formation and individuals to match the opposition. He started Saka against Germany, knowing they'd have seen his runs against CR, will put someone on him, who he can wear out, then switch it up. Kane had 2 Germans on him every time he went in the box, leaving players unmarked. The man thinks. He knows his squad, from U21 days. Anyone here who believes they know better is embarrassing.
I wish he'd bring back the waistcoat though.

I'm not a massive football fan, but have been enjoying this. I think I'll be out on Saturday night though 
I'll have to try and steer us towards a pub that's showing the game.

England Fan always knew we’d win
An England fan was completely confident that England would beat Germany and really didn’t know what everyone was worried about.

I know, I know, only two goals is very embarrassing, but that's the FA for you, never willing to take any risksEmbarrassing

Sod it, I'd have already won us the whole bloody thing. How long do they want, for god's sake?!
Turn up, win the tournament, back in time for The One Show. Bish bash bosh.

Also need that pace and dynamic as we play with two holding midfield players . Would prob work with Mount not because he has pace but because he finds spaces and can break lines in tight situations .

right after this urgent rest
So are we just gonna gloss over Artem Dovbyk’s brazen attempt to psych out England with a gratuitous display of man bra at the end of the Sweden match?
You can’t underestimate an opponent who displays such willingness to deploy psychological warfare tactics even before the match has begun. How can the England defenders tackle this guy when they’re preoccupied with wondering what he’s wearing under??
