I cannot see why he has to start every game I really can’t. Agree with this. Southgate has earnt the right to pick his favourites but I honestly dont see what Mount offers vs other options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the need to make up stuff and be revisionist yourself? People knew Germany are nothing like they have been in the past, however folks are aware that they are usually pretty good at staying in tournaments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I watched the first few games with my grealish fan boy hat on and got wound up by the lack of super Jack, but you can't knock Southgate for what we've done. If this was Dean Smith I'd be giving him loads of credit. Southgate deserves full respect after this 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they play with Gerard Moreno instead of Morata I think they'll have a better chance. However I can't see England losing to either Italy or Spain. Spain would probably pass it around England a fair bit but their front 3 wastes so much, they don't play with urgency in final third and their defence is dodgy v crosses as seen in last few games. Italy are overall all round better side and I'd still give them the edge to win this tournament just. Donnarumma in excellent form, feels like Bonucci and Chellini would use all their dark arts to nulify Kane and they play with excellent tempo in central midfield. Think that will be issue for England in that match up, just playing conservative and slow which would play into Italy's hands as feels they could shift the ball quickly around Rice and Phillips and get their wide players one v one. Would be very interesting tactical final that as England have wide players who could hurt Italy of course if on the front foot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Love the fact that the ref looked at the watch and thought sod this I want to go knock off early for today at Wimbledon. I thought every sub is at least 30 seconds?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 It's a great night in the end but I can't help but feel sorry for Jack , not starting and then seeing all those subs go on. Well done Gareth good win, but I'll never forgive you for treating our Jack like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

France went out to Switzerland while England had to beat Germany. There’s been a lot of revisionism on here about Germany. In the lead up to the match they were going to thrash England but once that didn’t happen they became a poor team in transition apparently. Indeed but then I said finishing 1st was best when loads were saying England must finish 2nd to get a weak round 16. It would've then been Spain in quarters and Italy in SF so well avoided.
