    NERVES.

    I'd play Grealish and Foden, but no way Southgate drops Sterling. I just really hope we go at them, because I don't think sitting back will work.

    Luckily I've got a tattoo booked in for tomorrow during the day, which will help me keep my mind off it 😂
    Should have got the tattoo booked for 5pm... Could then combine the pain rather than sit through the pain of the tattoo and then the pain of the game :D

    Dilemma: I need to be in the office tomorrow, I’m planning on spending all morning making sure I can leave by half three to get home to see the (stupidly timed) game but part of me wonders if I will enhance our chances if I’m stuck on the M25 and can’t see it and am just relying on the radio feed

    ….decisions/decisions….
    Just be careful with the traffic if you genuinely want to see the game

    I remember trying to get from Orpington to my mate's in Bexleyheath for the Croatia game back in 2018 and it took forever with everyone leaving at the same time.

    Fancy us tmrw - haven’t seen anything in the German squad that worries me

    Oh yeah, that’s what I thought in 1990 by the way……

    What will be will be. However if we dont beat them we will never get a better chance to reach a major final with the draw as it is. For once on paper we should win but it is Germany and we all know what that means. If we play to our potential we win. But if Germany play like they did against Portugal they win.

    The Germans will play as a team. We have the better players and I am hoping we just take the game to them. A dour defensive game will suit the lesser team.

    Imagine what our route to the Final would look like had it been Hungary tomorrow :open_mouth:

    Hungary could have been a tougher game. We shouldn't fear it because it is the Germans. We should see it as a fantastic opportunity to get a bit of revenge.

    Reminds me of Charlton v Millwall. 

    It doesn't matter if this is the worst German side you've ever seen. We're England and will always find a way to be worse.

    We need to score early and hang on like grim death.
    And get nicely sloshed to ease any pain.

    And that's probably a good representation of how isolated Kane will be.

    At least if he catches Covid, he can still play!

    This is definitely our best chance since the last one and until the next one.

    Everyone said exactly the same about the draw in the last world cup, and the last euros.  Remember Iceland?

    Most certainly - but knockout football produces a totally different approach to games.

    Especially Czech Rep. They look like a very good team.

    Shitting it already!!

    Got to do my lateral flow tonight for entry. Imagining how I’d feel if it’s positive, which there is no reason it should be, but...

    10 of us meeting 11.45am in West Hempstead tomorrow. Least a few beers should help with the nerves/bravado.

    My only wish and all I ever ask (with England or Charlton) is that if we are to go out, we go out giving absolutely everything, battering their goal and just not getting the luck. If we play like we did against Scotland, Iceland etc etc etc I’ll be fuming and will prob be pissed off with all things football for a long time.

    But it's very hard to turn it on and off.

    Unsubstantiated rumour of a 3-4-3:

    Pickford

    Walker
    Stones
    Maguire

    James
    Mount
    Rice
    Chilwell

    Foden
    Kane
    Grealish

    Well.

    Of course we've got to expect to lose tomorrow against the Germans.  It's what we do.

    However, I didn't account for England having a new secret weapon - SCP.

    We're gonna win now!

    I'd be surprised if Chilwell played seeing he wasnt involved in the Group Stages AND was out due to COVID

    I would be shocked if Sterling doesn't start.  I am not sure he should, but I would think Gareth would pick him?

    Of all the times we are due payback that is not one of them. They thoroughly outplayed us in that game.

    There's usually one boring 0-0 that goes to pens.
