No one because unlike the original, England's Steve Bruce is incredibly popular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Southgate actually did get the boot then Smith would be one of the prime candidates to take over, and losing him would seriously set us back I feel. I don’t think he’d take it. Not at this juncture and where the club is headed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, but it'd still have a negative affect on us regardless even if he did eventually turn England down. As I said though, no danger of that. Let England have their shitty manager and Smith can carry on doing what he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That football was probably your best chance of winning something since 1966. That football will win us nothing. maybe a bit more attacking football and utilising our 125 million pound striker correctly will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no dog in this fight as it were, but did want England to win it as I thought you guys deserved too. Sports fans the world over always do that kind of thing and abuse players via social media knowing they would never be men enough to say it their faces if they saw them in public. Its totally uncalled for, immature, classless, etc. Understandable to be upset about losing such a meaningful game, but trust me Saka is just as upset and that kind of stuff does not need to be piled on him. Do I get upset if one of my sports teams lose? Sure. Do I get the urge to abuse the players from those teams? Absolutely not. At the end of the day, it is just entertainment and something to get enthused about, but not my life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) I must say that I think Sterling is lucky to have played so much for England. I really don't think he played well at all in either the semi-final or the final, way too greedy. A better player would have made a pass or taken a shot but he seems to hold on to the ball for too long. Jack Grealish must be angry, a player of his ability with the statistics of creating more in his limited appearances than almost any other England player should have played more minutes. At sixty minutes on the clock Grealish should have even on the pitch. Rashford I've never really rated and his penalty was far too cocky. However there are some very talented players and some great performances from Maguire, Stones, Shaw, Rice and Phillips in particular. Just think Southgate was little too conservative for the final. England had a great chance to win something tonight, such a shame. Final point, Italy were back to their cynical best at times and a red card would have been justified for either Chiellini or Jorginho.
