I watched Senegal yesterday and was not over impressed.
However as we know watching Stoke and England we must not be complacent.
The hard work starts now. Let’s hope they are practicing penalty’s . 🤪

Before we all get carried away:
H1 Iran 3 goals VG H2 Iran 3 goals VG H1 USA 0 goals dire H2 USA 0 goals dire H1 Wales 0 goals dire H2 Wales 3 goals VG
We somehow contrived to be absolutely dire half the time against weak opposition.
Any more of that in knock out stages and we are out.

Any more of that in knock out stages and we are out. Any more of what? We’ve played well in two games, poorly in one, that’s on balance pretty decent for an England group stage at a major tournament. It’ll be a standard England tournament, likely beat Senegal, likely lose to France.

I don’t think we will mate France will come at us so it’ll be a game of football ( Southgate willing ) with us having just as much as they’ve got in terms of pace and ability They won’t want to play us

Might be close, could see it being penalties again.

Might be close, could see it being penalties again. There forward line is what worries me Griezman, Dembele and Mbappe have pace to burn. I can see Southgate going ultra defensive versus them with 532 and a midfield including Henderson and losing by the odd goal. Id love us to go for it with a 4231 including Foden, Maddison and Rashford behind Kane. Give them something to think about.

I think being patient against them might actually be the better move in this instance. Bombing forward and leaving space for Mbappe to run at Maguire is petrifying.

I think Sterling will come in for Foden I can’t see foden not starting if fit Don't think foden gave the ball away last night. Can you imagine if foden doesn't start and we lose?

The talent we have for every match will be horses for courses and in reality there is no bad team whichever one he selects
We will all differ on opinions of course but this squad is stacked with talent
It’s all about Southgate not shitting himself and I don’t think he will this time around
Cmon England

Got too go with the same team for me, Foden was electric 2nd half, Rashford was superb and Henderson although not the best footballer is a leader and warrior
My only concern is Kane but 1 assist which should have been 2 and some great link up play

Could be lots of free kicks for England in this one ….for Jack Grealish in this one.

Here we go it’s starting to ramp up ……Sunday 7pm Be the same side again i reckon I think Sterling will come in for Foden no way, Saka, Rashford and Foden all in front now and arguably Grealish too. Not a huge Southgate fan but selection was cock on yesterday

Consistent throughout its ours to lose best squad best first 11 , and best ever timing of when it’s played for us 20 games not 60 into the season our better players can play at the tempo thats just too much for the others exactly what happened last night

I’d look at Walker to play v France for his pace.

Only realised we play France in quarters so doesn't matter what we do we won't beat them. Tunisia just did , they aren’t that good and if we can play good attacking football we can beat them , unfortunately Southgate will revert to all defensive shit and we’ll lose
