    Sort of wanted Foden to miss a game - not because I don't rate him. I just want Southgate to stop trying to shoehorn Foden and Bellingham in the same team.

    Then again Southgate would probably have just opted to play with 10 men.

    Out of curiosity, how did Belgium finish ahead of Slovakia in Group E?

    Slovakia won that game 1-0, so should have been above them on H2H?
    Finished on 4 points and they all beat each other, though - Romania beat Ukraine, Ukraine beat Slovakia, Slovakia beat Belgium, Belgium beat Romania....

    So it went on goal difference, and then goals scored between Romania and Belgium.

    I think.

    Yeah just worked it as well, looked really confusing to begin with as was looking at the tables and only saw the Slovakia win vs Belgium first

    We have been predictably shit, and the more the tournament goes on, the more I don't like the team. The lack of accountability is embarrassing. No cohesion, no passion, no skill and it genuinely looks like a real lack of effort. That Rice segment pre-game was embarrassing. 'Half of England fans wanted us to play Trent in midfield' load of nonsense. He seemed genuinely annoyed over the criticism, and I don't understand why he's surprised at it. Show poor effort levels and skill, infront of one of the most passionate fan bases in any sport worldwide, you should expect moans and groans. 

    Luckily for Southgate, we have been gifted an easy bracket again, so he can pad out his very ordinary England record, and inevitably lose to the first real challenge we face, as that's what usually happens. 

    It's beyond frustrating having arguably, the best group of players in the tournament, and looking like one of the worst teams. 
    Google it from 2023... there are definitely articles from the media, and threads on reddit saying that TAA should be played in Midfield.

    "Half the England fans wanted..." Is a stretch though

    Didnt have issue with what Rice said myself - I find it weird how people are happy to slag off Footballers, but become very delicate and defensive when something comes the other way.
    Which was mainly focused on the fact he was struggling badly at right back, and people didn't want to see his talents go to waste. He's nowhere near aggressive enough to play in the midfield for England, and he isn't as smart or good on the ball as great midfielders like Fabregas, Modric, Iniesta etc. 

    He's been heavily protected at Liverpool imo, when you've got arguably the best right winger ahead of you in the world, there's more the other team need to worry about. Think Klopps system and high press around the field has shielded him. 


    Absolutely.  I think he is the most overated player I’ve ever seen play for England. I don’t think that defends well enough to play either in defense or midfield. The only attribute he has over other candidates is his passing ability but how often in a match really does this happen from a defensive position to real effect?

    This had undeserved 1-0 win to Italy written all over it.

    Maybe not!!  Switzerland deserve that.

    Will make it a much better game too.

    Switzerland seem.to have become neutral, as they nearly gift Italy a goal of epic proportion

    Really enjoying this, although worrying that we are really going to struggle against the Swiss if we make it through to play them

    Well we already knew that England were going to win Euro 2024 - But this result confirms we wont have someone win it back to back.

    Good riddance. There's only room for one boring team in this competition and that's England.

    There need to be some BIG questions from this result... Like how the F**K did Scotland get a draw with Switzerland?

    Italy look as slow and turgid as England.

    Italy have been poor for years. The baffling thing is how they were so good in Euro 2020.

    Even after this game the Swiss are 14/1. Worth an each way, I reckon.
