You’re missing the point entirely . This team, like the Greek one, like the Portuguese one, isn’t good enough to win this tournament unless we play like we are. If we get into a basketball match with Spain or Belgium, we’ll get beat. Every single person on here would love is to outplay sides and football them off the pitch, but it ain’t going to happen with our defenders. They need a defensive structure and a solid foundation to bring the best out of them.

If you bothered to read what I wrote you’d have seen the words “ unless your head & shoulders above the rest”. If you think we are, then crack on. I don’t, The French are better, the Belgians are better , the Spain side are better. The only way we’ll win this is like the Greeks did, like the Portuguese did. 0 goals conceded, 3 out of 4 games won. That’ll do for me. Who cares if it’s fucking boring. Tell the Greeks you don’t win tournaments by bring boring, tell the Portuguese.

Thanks, you’ve illustrated the point that some don’t understand. We can only win this by continuing to play as we have been. If you can’t see that that’s not really a lot of point discussing further.

I don’t get this obsession with wining an “exciting game” and the contrasting of our result with others that attacked and excited everyone. Here’s the thing, if you play in an open and exciting way, unless you’re absolutely head and shoulders above the rest, one day you’ll get beat. The French did, the Danes & Spanish nearly did. If those 2 & the Belgians continue to be open, they’ll get beat as well. The best 2 sides have been England & Italy.

Klinsmann is a class act

Form is temporary, class is permanent

Correct

Exactly why he needed to stay on the pitch.

Southgate doesn’t get the respect he deserves. He maybe a shite club manager but he’s not a club manager. Contrast his record with Sir Bobby Robson who everyone pisses their pants over. His first euros was an absolute disaster and his first World Cup was quarter final. Southgate has done better already

Walker is class.

Yep, we blew it in ‘18 when we had a decent draw as well, but the players are more experienced now and we’re home for semis & final.

It’s coming home

And Kane should have been substituted lol

Shearer agrees, get it in the fucking mixer

Yes well dine, let’s take racism off the menu.

Get it in the fucking mixer

Fucking Henderson has a sore throat as well

Sterling & Saka will run the legs off them, they’ll play too high and we’ll get in behind them time & time again.

We’ll piss it 3 or 4-1

Arrogant French got exactly what they deserved.

I bet he’s the most relived man in the stadium, they either go through or somebody else shares his penalty woe

Doubt it, he’s been subbed off

Jenas is horrendous.

I thought Hayes was auditioning for the role of Nancy in Oliver Twist.

Pogba doing his arrogant goal celebration, but he lost the ball in midfield for the equaliser. Show pony
