UEFA Euro 2020 Group D ** spoilers ** (England, Croatia, Scotland, C.Republic)

[Slam62]

Is it just that England as a hole country are just dampened down so much. Don't upset anyone, no fire anymore. I remember 10 or 20 years ago nearly every car had England flags on. Now hardly anything. Look at the Scots. Seem to have fire and pride in their country.

Yeah, when the world Cup in Japan was on everyone had England flags, now you'd be arrested.

There's 2 hours of my life i'll never get back

Embarrassing watching Grealish looking for options and the best he has is Shaw in box or pass backwards. No movement for him, nowhere useful to go.

Yet we expect Sterling to do more. Perhaps the problem isn't Sterling or Foden...

 

[LOAM]

Are England players on some bonus for pass completion?

Never take any risk looking for that cutting pass, just go back/sideways.

Embarrassing

I was wondering if they all really like the look of Pickford given that they spend 90% of the match facing his direction

 

[robfosters]

You watch him put the same **** 11 out on Tuesday.

 

[bingham67]

Out in the round of 16 here we come

 

[Tombstone]

Not sure I want to even listen to the peeps in the studio trying to hype this now

 

[arctine]

Yet we expect Sterling to do more. Perhaps the problem isn't Sterling or Foden...

Every attack prior to grealish starting seemed to begin with Sterling. He was our best player.

Kane has done nothing the past two matches.

What Scotland have to do which they haven't managed so far is score

God help me, Sounness is over the moon ridiculous

 

[ChroniC]

Czech will beat us, Croatia will beat scotland and we'll go through as best losers

 

[robfosters]

Kane gives the big’un about not letting the Spurs situation bother him, but I think it is. He doesn’t look there mentally.

 

[turbot1984]

Why Foden off? Scots made us look lazy, like we didn't fancy it.

 

[ZG002]

They seem to have about 15 minutes in them and if it doesn't work they are goosed.

Feel sorry for the actual fans as I have done for so many years.

 

[bliss]

Yeah, its the media really though

Oh definitely. The hype from the media and the fans/country not being brutally honest about our skill level is what leads us into countless matches like this where end up 'disappointed' at fulltime.

 

[Calpol]

England garbage.

 

[LtMatt]

Never take any risk looking for that cutting pass, just go back/sideways.

Embarrassing

Seems to be the Southgate way. It makes for very boring football, it’s like a version of tiki taka but without movement or through balls.

 

[antijoke]

THEY THINK IT’S ALL OVER, THANK GOD IT IS NOW! Awful game.

 

[neoboy]

Only pay slight attention to football during major international tournmanents nowadays, good to see England are still the "barely last 16" specialists

 

[mysticsniper]

Fair play to Scotland, they were clearly up for it and had a game plan.

We looked slow, sluggish and no cohesion whatsoever, devoid of any ideas. Its a good thing Scotland have no decent strikers, it could have gotten embarrassing.

 

[ChroniC]

Yet we expect Sterling to do more. Perhaps the problem isn't Sterling or Foden...

At least Grealish was looking for the pass, sterling just gets knocked off the ball at every opportunity

 

[adam cool dude]

No disrespect to Scotland but that is embarrassing from England.

It has to be the manager as the squad is full of European champions and finalists top to bottom.

Scotland were fielding an Australian who plays for QPR as their main striker.
