It was DCLs fault in that situation. Watkins was available in the box for DCLs first two or three touches of the ball. Unfortunately he didnt release the ball until touch four or five.

It's Your Round Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Just looking at some permutations after the group stages. If England win their group and Portugal come second in theirs, we will play them in the first knockout round. Portugal are with France, Germany and Hungary. You’d expect France to win it, but if Portugal do and France come second, England will play them. Neither would be my first choice of knockout opponents. A more favourable draw would await us if we finish second in the group. That would mean England facing whoever finishes second in Group E. That group is Spain, Sweden, Poland, Slovakia. My guess is Sweden, maybe Poland. So as much as England fans will want us to win the group, it might just be a blessing not to. Although to be fair, if you want to win the tournament you’ve got to beat the best at some point. I’d just prefer that to be in the semis/final. I want to see Grealish star in as many games as possible. Edited June 3, 2021 by It's Your Round Mixing me groups up innit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right, I’ll edit that part. The point still stands though, we will play second of that group if we win ours. So take your pick from Portugal, France or Germany.

jacketspuds Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I’m sure it’ll be another defender coming in. Ben White can play RB, CB and DM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
