If playing internationals was a league format,we would be too 6,thumping the teams below us,but always lose to the top 4, in the cups we get to quarters, semis & the odd final but never win it. That's what England have been all my life.

It was a hard watch, but end of the day were through. Thought we were a bit better second half tbf. Are Switzerland any good? Not seen any of there games, be interesting to see what the bookies think The Swiss are a very well drilled team with some really good players. We need to up our game and our Tempo if we are to stand a chance.

One bloke appears to be being sexually assaulted by not one but two of his mates. 😳 I noticed that and the worrying thing is he didn't seem to mind 😂 I might be getting old but I can't be the only one who thought get off the bloody pool table.

Bellingham's 'Throw it back' statement.
Arsy sod or within his rights to?

I know it was only Slovakia, but I still can't believe he's turned up in the 96th minute and probably scored the goal of the tournament out of nothing. Incredible.
Switzerland is going to be properly tough. They've got some winners in their side and, in Akanji and Xhaka, probably two players who walk into any side in the world. They also have an abundance of pace up front and, no matter how quick Walker may be, he was atrocious yesterday defensively and caught the wrong side a number of times.

Bellingham's 'Throw it back' statement. Arsy sod or within his rights to? What i heard him say was throw it back at some people. Some, being the word that gives him a pass for me. He's in his rights to say that. And I guess its part of him using the situation to create a siege mentality to rally the troops. That said he does seem a bit arrogant. But again is that part of the reason he's so good at the age of 20? I of course don't know. Just my opinion..

Being clear and forthright exhibits the confidence he carries to help him to the status he holds. When I first saw what he'd said I cringed a bit but he's an intelligent articulate successful player. He's entitled to his perspective. And it's a relief to hear a footballer speak clearly about this instead of reverting to cliches.

There's no dogshit sides once you get to the knock out stages.
We've laboured against all 4 teams so far for sure but we may well do better against Switzerland who will come after us more - we did look very vulnerable defensively though yesterday.
As for Southgate, it's pointless getting worked up about him, he's cautious and tactically poor (in game) but his player management has been excellent and he's moulded sides with impressive tournament records over the past 6 years. Either way, he'll be gone after this tournament and if you think Southgate is the problem, start looking forward to our victory at the World Cup in 2026 when our world class squad puts every team to the sword.

It’s like saying “None of these useless fuckers could have done that could they?” Although he’s probably right about that as well.

From the left? From the right yes Just think we have a clear problem on the left, don't think Palmer changes that want him either properly inside or on the right Palmer can do it on both sides. Palmer hasn't played a minute of club football on the left in his career. Southgate brought him on briefly there but that is all we have to go on.

I find this England team quite dislikable and I wish I didn’t,largely not their fault due to Southgate being at the helm,but this attitude that it’s all going well and how dare you criticise us etc etc and the celebrations after another dismally shit performance irks me a lot. He’s a young lad is Jude but he’s not Zidane yet,he needs to buckle down and put in a 90 minute shift and prove to us that he really is as good as he thinks he is.Great goal mind but I want want a lot more from him.

Sadly I was so fucking depressed at yet another shyte performance when the equalizer did go in all I felt was about fucking time... I actually sat there shaking my head while all others were jumping around screaming. I’d timed it so I finished my last pint at full time. Needless to say I ended up having another three and feeling like shit all day at work! Still, roll on Saturday 5pm😉

Still, roll on Saturday 5pm😉 Pretty much the same when the goal went in and a “get in” for kanes goal other than it was total crap as have been the prior three games. Once they went one nil up they sat back exactly what we do and we still didn’t look threatening despite having two thirds of the pitch to play in. In all honesty what we’ve e seen so far from England is probably as much as we have
