  1. Wouldn’t mind Portugal squeaking through in extra time. His tears are going to be saltiest if they lose the final and Guehi marks him out of the game.
  2. No pen But they give the one against Denmark. Make it make sense.
  3. Looks like one of these teams will have to grind out a result without playing very well. Didn’t see that coming.
  4. They started wiping cards only after the quarters so that players couldn’t be suspended for the final after two yellows. Now you can only ever be suspended for the final if you get a straight red in the semis. WC26 I reckon they might have two separate wipes. One after the group stage, and another one after R32-R16-QF. Because there is an extra game going in. Otherwise you could get two bookings across six games and then still miss a semi final.
  5. Win or bust now. If he doesn’t want to go out with the handbrake on, he might as well go out with a bold new system we’ve never tried before.
  6. Trippier has been doing the normal training with everyone else I think. But ITV think we are changing it up completely: Mainoo in the middle as the sixpence.
  7. Sounds like a ploy to get Rice and Mainoo and Gallagher all into the same midfield. Wingbacks won’t seem so exciting when we are camped on the edge of our box defending a 1-0 lead and Kane and Bellingham are seventy yards upfield with nobody else anywhere near them.
  8. OPTA have it slightly differently. Giving us more of a chance.
  9. Clearly offside. Another "victory" for VAR, even though without VAR the linesman would be giving it straightaway.
  10. Unless something changes it will be pretty hard to defend this year... even if we win. It looks like it would still be him choosing a squad that he doesn't really seem to understand, then somehow getting away with it. Rather than having an actual plan and then digging his heels in to select players that fit with it... even if they aren't the 'best' based on club form. At the moment he's not really doing all the things I've always championed him for. But if we turn up and beat Switzerland 3-0 then it's all forgiven.
  11. Nobody has ever said he is an elite level football manager
  12. There’s really no point. People are too far gone. He will still be a failure because we didn’t swagger through with a load of 5-0 wins, and because he wasted those previous tournaments that any decent manager would have won as well.
  13. England, especially if we still don't play very well in any of the remaining games. I think the forum would actually explode. Otherwise let Austria or Switzerland have a turn.
  14. I think he MIGHT have reacted to some of the outside noise around the squad selection. I’m not holding OTF solely responsible.
  15. Probably put himself 5th so he can be the money shot, then they are out before he gets to take one. 2012 all over again.
  16. I didn’t think he could actually top storming off down the tunnel on his own after losing in WC2022 to Morocco. But he’s done it. What a man.
