  1. It's England's to lose, no team who stinks this badly and still progresses can be defeated by mere mortals.
  2. If we're sitting here in 4 years' time and Trent still only has a handful of caps, then fair enough, but I think he'll be an ever-present (fitness permitting) for the next 3 or 4 tournament cycles. Walker is going to bow out, Trippier may well do so too, James is perma-crocked and TAA is at the head of the queue.
  3. The head says: England to stink their way to victory, 1-0 AET. The heart says: Southgate lets the shackles off, and it's a barnstorming goalfest where football is the real winner.
  4. I bloody knew you were enjoying SouthgateBall!
  5. Towards the end of the match, I think leaving a 700-year-old Pepe at the back on his own was an... interesting... tactical choice
  6. Who else do Portugal have at centre forward? I know Ronaldo is never getting dropped, but he's been an absolute passenger for most of this tournament and surely he'll be gone soon? Who steps into his shoes?
  7. All I can say is that if he's doing it to wind up opposition fans, it's obviously working
  8. Aye, because they've swept aside all of the easy teams they've met so far.
  9. Re: the celebrations, I think it's fine to say that the players are completely entitled to celebrate like they did given the situation and the stakes, and also to say that given the performance, fans can find it a bit cringe. But that doesn't mean the players are wrong or sold be embarrassed or anything like that.
  10. Yeah, those stats really don't tell the true story. Just a reminder to the stats nerds that football is played on grass, not on a spreadsheet That said, sometimes stats do give a true reflection. Scotland's xG Vs Germany of 0.01 tells you everything you need to know
  11. There's just something to be said for wingers running at defenders, and this Spain team are so good at it.
  12. Reminder that Spain beat Georgia twice during qualifying, 10-2 on aggregate. And Scotland took 4 points off Georgia in qualifying, 4-2 on aggregate
  13. Name on the trophy lads. You're going to stink your way to the title.
  14. Yep, Venables leaving had absolutely zero to do with football. I am sure that had Venables not already had his jotters before the tournament started, he would have been kept on rather than replaced by Hoddle, because the players loved him, he played good football in the main, and the public were very much behind him.
  15. Would be pretty harsh on Venables to criticise him for not reaching a semi final and a final when he only had one tournament
  16. Nae offence, but this is absolute pish If he's trying to achieve what you claim he is, then he's not succeeding, because the players are not "playing together well" whatsoever
