It's good having your own thread, but where is everyone?

A change at last and about bloody time!

Wrong one off, right one on.

You guys have let England down.

And Scotland cos we’d come on and slate Kane even tho we are sh.t.

Sterling to the rescue again

GOOAAL Sterling👍👍👍👍👍

Get it wide then get it in the box, goal. Simple as that.

Right on VC. And don't start dropping back

Stop passing effing backwards. This will only end badly.

This.

Yes they are getting open at the back because they need the goal. Good chance of a second

And there it is

Job done.
Well done lads

Shaw showing some impetus when the likes of Sterling wanted to stop playing and try to play keep ball.

It's a shame that Shaw never showed the same intent in the first half.

Well done england. I wqs dreading it after seeing the line up and esp forst 10 mins

A quiet thread but a good one. Gareth followed our advice.

Why?

Gotta be the worst Germany team I've seen in some time and they still wasted two 1 on 1s.

England are going to luck their way in to the finals.

Might skip the second game and sleep 😂

Portugal lined up against Germany's 3-4-3 with more creative/attacking talent on the pitch than Germany and got eviscerated, mainly because the German formation and use of wing backs kept creating 5 vs 4 overloads against the Portuguese defence. Just about every respectable tactical analyst has been suggesting England should match Germany with a 3-4-3 this week. We can quibble with the personnel, for instance making Walker the third CB and playing a more attacking wing back, and/or selecting Bellingham instead of Phillips, would have put a more attacking emphasis on the same formation. On the other hand, would you want a player like Saka who is pretty inexperienced defensively up against Kimmich (arguably Germany's finest player at the moment) or Gosens (probably MOTM vs Portugal)?

Oh look, I was right about everything.

As usual, teams are World Class until we beat them.
