  1. Southgate reckons that the scoreline flattered England*, so no chance he goes with that lineup. * He actually said that yesterday.
  2. And that you can get to a final by playing attacking football if you have quality players up front. Who knew?
  3. Yeah I think that's goal of the tournament so far, although Guler's for Turkey vs Georgia was a belter too.
  4. Now let's see what France have got in reserve. And whether Spain sit in or keep going for it.
  5. Oh my god What a goal that is! Honestly that is an incredible finish.
  6. I think England are miles better on paper, but still fully expect them to stink their way to the final by a bawhair.
  7. Ah, but in 2026, "30 years of hurt" will refer to the punishment our ears have taken after being subjected to that ****ing song
  8. Also, if silverware is overrated then "x years of hurt" wouldn't exist, and the world would be a better place. That said, I think we can all be thankful that Baddiel and Skinner have spared us all a Three Lions '24 this time around.
  9. I don't know why pundits can't hold two things to be true at once: it's great for England fans that they're into the semis, but the level of performance is still really bad. Well, actually, I suspect there's been a backlash at some of the (valid) criticism levelled earlier in the tournament and now they feel like they have to positive for the good of the nation or whatever. Against a really good side in good form, England's approach could easily come undone, but realistically most of the good sides have been crap so it's been a valid, if incredibly dull, strategy.
  10. Would love it if when England win it, Gareth gives the credit to Lineker for not calling England s h i t from the QFs onwards, mind
  11. You are lucky - most people who fell asleep during that game didn't choose to do so.
  12. If he isn't carrying some sort of injury then he's been nothing short of disgraceful And if he is injured then Gareth is a disgrace for continuing to play him
  13. Can Kane actually move faster than a very mild jog? He looks utterly done. He MUST be injured, surely?
  14. Plenty of time to take the lead then all fall back to within 20 yards of the goal.
  15. You might lose. I think that's Gareth's mindset, fear of losing. Baffling with this group of players but there you go.
  16. Until they score, at which point it'll revert to 5-4-1-0 with four defensive midfielders and Kane as the lone CM.
  17. "Set your alarm for full-time" would be my advice. And a quick public service announcement: don't forget about extra time, so build in a decent margin on that alarm clock.
