I quite enjoyed seeing Denmark lose tonight after all the winging from them that went on after they lost to England in 2021. . Try living amongst them. They have been bitching since we beat them in Japan 2002.

A Dutch pundit was questioning why Southgate wasn't taking advantage of the pairs of club mates. Trippier and Gordon on the left, Walker and Foden on the right, with Foden playing in the same position as he does for City. Also, to solve the midfield 'problem', left- footed Wharton in midfield in front of Palace clubmate Guehi.
It would mean dropping Saka but what a sub he would make against a tiring defence.

It's all good and well being club mates, but in two of those examples, the players don't play together in those positions at their clubs so is it quite as useful?
And despite my CLAMOURING for the last fortnight, the Wharton ship must have sailed by now.

Back to the Italy game, they’ve been very poor for quite a few years and have struggled to qualify for all the recent tournaments. Makes our feckup to finish them off in the 2020 final even more galling

Makes our feckup to finish them off in the 2020 final even more galling They have a really poor record in recent years but in the last 20 years have won an world cup and the euros... I wonder how many of their fans would trade them trophies for just appearing in all tournaments

The buzz of an entertaining Grand Prix gives way to the nerves of an England knockout tie, there's nothing like it is there? Excitement for hating every moment of it. Bring it on..

Oh look another borefest and we get punished too. Awful game again.
Only solace being if we get knocked out today that should be the end of Southgate.

England looking decidedly average. Looks like Southgate has been trying to hide our dodgy defence.

And still we have no difference in the game plan. I think I'd rather go out today, rather than live through another game like this. I expect Switzerland are rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of a 1/4 final against one of these two.

Foden was an idiot for being offside then, no excuse.
That said, Southgate and the England players have all been beyond pathetic.

Still no shots on target against a team ranked 40 places below us. As pitiful an exit coming as Italy yesterday.
