dunlopp9987 Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 Listen, I know Southgate's style of football is drab. To say the least.

Plenty of others, with such a talented bunch of players, would have them winning like Spain. In the case of Southgate, is there a single game so far that you'd say England clearly deserved to win?

But it's so fucking dull, it's so, so poor. This squad should be scoring 2-3 a game but they're absolutely hamstrung. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we win it it'll forever be remembered as despite him, rather than because of him. Hafnia and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC on a cringeworthy "don't upset the manager and team" mission. his inability to identify that we needed subs before the goal was a sackable offence in itself. An awful manager who basically set us up to draw and only threw the dice when losing. We played extra time looking for penalties Sev, Matt and Romey 1878 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t try to spot a pattern in any of this. There isn’t one. The origin truth of football is that outstanding individuals doing outrageous things is no basis for a team. The origin truth of international tournaments is that, every once in a while, it doesn’t matter." https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/jul/06/disintegrating-england-put-on-best-show-yet-by-bringing-the-vibes Matt, MikeO, Romey 1878 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
