The Dutch/Austria game is a cracker

I must admit I wouldn?t have given them a prayer but they?ve been so positive and excellent throughout!

Southgate took over an England where wearing the Three Lions had become a burden.

But he freshened things up, recruited youth, and propagated an environment where players actually performed better for the national side than their club.

We can argue wudda, shudda, cudda all day and night, yet the progress under him was undeniable.

To put it an a Town context he's like Duncan, though. Terrific at creating an outfit greater than the sum of it's parts yet utterly unable to evolve beyond his conservative approach.

Perhaps he'll prove his critics wrong. It wouldn't be the first time an England - or other - side has grown into a tournament (see '90 and '96 for starters).

Either way it's perfectly possible to now call out painfully obvious deficiencies whilst appreciating previous positives...

Can?t agree with that.


Greater than the sum of its parts with Bellingham,Kane, Foden, Saka, Rice, and Walker would not be struggling to beat Bosnia and Iceland it would be beating Croatia to get to the final, it would be beating Italy and winning a trophy.


He?s one dimensional and cautious and has got where he has by scoring goals from corners and free kicks
A new hope.

Another pathetic, predictable, pedestrian half. Only Foden showing anything. No imagination, no excitement. The one time we moved the ball quickly, we scored albeit offside. Just rubbish.

Agree Foden much better so far tonight but we lack real creativity in midfield
Not enough quality to threaten winning the tournament Im afraid

Why can't they pass in front of a player to run on to. So many times the receiving player has to wait for the ball to arrive and by then they get marked, having to tackle and potentially losing it. Not a good watch so far.

Can?t argue with any of that. Any pass in their half is to a man with his back to goal. Who?s going to take a risk, play the odd 50/50 ball?

We stepped up a gear for ten minutes and created several chances.

But then...
