Looks too negative to me, 5 defenders and two central midfielders that offer nothing going forward. Hopefully Southgate has a cunning plan.

Great use of VAR again.

I would be amazed if the others didn’t do the same, just a matter of time.

Has opened up nicely but so did the World Cup and we couldn’t even get past Croatia so I’m not holding out much hope.

True. Forget the pandemic, the effects of Brexit, climate change, pensions time bomb and elderly care crisis, the biggest problem in the UK today is a few middle class people exaggerating the amount of racism there is.

Agree to an extent, we are essentially highly-evolved hunter gatherer monkeys who are tribal by nature. But I think it's a bit of both, I expect those on North Senitel Island learned their fear of foreigners from their ancestors. From my experience young kids don't give a shite about skin colour. Anyway it is irrelevant, there are many parts of your nature we have changed over time, we have progressed a great deal on racism since even when I was a kid so we can carry on trying to make it a thing of the past.

Not surprising considering his managerial record prior to England is: 12th placed finish - 13th placed finish - 19th placed finish, relegated, sacked.

Don’t give a shite, I want all the British teams to do well.

I like Wales, why does it matter if they hate or like us?

I hope Wales get through, at least they have shown some balls unlike our bunch of tarts.

Don’t think Spain drawing is good for us, we need them to win the group otherwise we get them in the next round if we finish second, or get Germany, France or Portugal if we finish top!

Better than saying we got to the last 16.

Can’t see that shite beating Portugal, Germany or Spain, best we can hope for is the quarters IMO.

Draw was a good result, the last thing we want to do is win the group. We will get dumped out by the first decent team we meet as usual.

Keeping Phillips and Rice on against Scotland was mental.

Southgate is just a shite manager.

Except I, unlike you, never gave a moments thought to skin colour. Anyway, even if your little graphs are correct then as only around 13-14% of the UK is BAME then by far the biggest group of people I called bell-ends were white.

I never referred to any colour, it was you that brought skin colour up on a thread about a virus. We all know someone like you - the classic Daily Mail style racist, never say anything outrageously racist but the narrative is obvious.

I didn't label Duck man as a Gammon because he pointed out the stats, just said it was typical of a gammon like him to do so - there is a difference. He has made his gammon status obvious through his previous ramblings.

Vaccine hesitancy also varies between Countries, Socio-economic groups, sex and age groups but it's not suprise to see an old gammon like you focus on people's skin colour. Anyway the low take up by BAME communities is no excuse for the governments shambolic handling, I fail to see why 90,000 fully vaccinated people shouldn't be able to go to Wembley tomorrow.

Fuck me, is there nothing you gammons won’t blame on people of colour. If we had a government that actually understood the pandemic and planned properly we might actually be able to have a full Wembley Friday. https://metro.co.uk/2021/06/06/tony-blair-calls-for-vaccine-passports-ahead-of-june-21-reopening-14723316/

Vaccine passports according to Radio 5, plus the guy who runs the country is a football nut. The logical thing to do IMO. Get the economy moving again and give the vaccine hesitant a nudge at the same time.

If you refuse a vaccine you are a bell-end regardless of skin colour yes. What’s your point?

Just shows that the technology is sound, it's just the idiots who use it over here that make it so unbearable. It's so refreshing not having some anal-retentive dick head drawing lines from players arm pits after every goal. Just have a quick look at the replay, if the player looks in line let it go.

They should have just brought out vaccine passports and opened everything up to the vaccinated. The bell-ends who refuse will soon go get a jab if it means they can go to the boozer.
