Rolta Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) 52 minutes ago, PaulMcGrath_5 said: I guess if I actively disliked a countries national team and wanted them to lose when I watched them, I’d certainly find it very strange to then pick a club team from said country to support—just seems odd. Clubs like ours are steeped in English football history. I can’t claim to be in that demographic though, so.. Recently I lived with a Pakistani Man U fan and was hanging out with an Irish Newcastle fan. They're a small sample size, but I can't imagine thinking these guys should support the English national team just because they follow clubs in England (they don't support England—one of them vociferously so!). The clubs might be steeped in English football history, but that is very different to English warmongering imperial history, which seems to be what people object to. I guess the prem is just a massive product and there are supporters who don't have the same connection as someone 'local'. But I also think just because you like something that's English it doesn't mean you automatically can't have reservations about certain things about England itself.

Villa87 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 One thing that I’ve noticed is that there are literally no photos of Jack and Mings together… Nor have they seemed to celebrate together at full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meregreen Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I thought it was a poor call from Southgate to take Jack off in the match. I understand his reasoning, but the fact is we were well on top in the first half of extra time, then, when he brought Trippier on, we were pretty much hanging on for the last 15 minutes against 10 men.

It's entertainment and that is what should come first I think winning football is entertaining. That's what I want.....Its hard to score against the really good sides, so not conceding, is a huge help. Entertainment is subjective......gung ho attacking football can soon lose its appeal, when you keep losing......The holy grail is a balance of knowing when to attack and when to defend. These Euro's have made a clear example of the need to defend as well as you attack.....one without the other, is flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not what I would have done, but ultimately we won the game so it's hard to criticise a manager's decisions when they result in us (England) winning games.

No, its not just Jack, but any mercurial talent who plays in attack. I love what Jack does....but adding goals will cement or project his status.
