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

[fez]

He was a rush appointment when big Sam got caught doing a naughty, but - as manager - he took us to our best World Cup result in 28 years and has the second best win rate of any England manager (excluding big Sam).

What is his win percentage against football teams as opposed to part time teachers playing in their spare time?

We literally got a by to the WC quarters and promptly lost to the first remotely good side we played. Nothing he has done suggests he is a good manager.

 

[chroniclard]

Nice to see some pace and running from Saka.

 

[antijoke]

We’ve got to score more than one here, they look crap

 

[LOAM]

It's better but our movement off the ball is pedestrian.

 

[Maundie]

Easy there...it was an inquiry question nothing more

Sorry if I seemed harsh was just trying to point out that we've 'chosen' the easy path before and got our arses well and truly spanked.

 

[BobShark]

England need to be careful, in danger of showing a bit of quality here...

 

[fez]

Oh Kane! You would have put money on him putting that in.

 

[Participant]

This could be such an epic knockout stage, with some of the quality on display in the top teams.

 

[Trusty]

Great position by the keeper

 

[200sols]

Did you not see Grealish and Saka just now?

They might as well start engraving England on the trophy.

Not when Southgate doesn't start them next game.

 

[McBain]

Harry Got to score there as well!

 

[Robbo]

Howler from Kane.

 

[Nasher]

Did they tactically draw against Scotland on purpose or something? Starting to look that way

 

[BaZ87]

I wish Saka didn't sign that contract with Arsenal last year and I hope he is insisted on a release clause.

 

[Shamikebab]

Kane did really well until he had to shoot, poor shot.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Rice is having a bit of a mare, keeps mishitting passes.

 

[Kenai]

Not when Southgate doesn't start them next game.

They're good enough to win this competition for us even if they don't play.

 

[Tombstone]

This could be such an epic knockout stage, with some of the quality on display in the top teams.

Got to agree, I think the last 16 is going to have some awesome matches in it. The beauty of this tournament so far is that theres probably about 5 or 6 teams who look capable of winning it at the moment.

 

[BaZ87]

Rice is having a bit of a mare, keeps mishitting passes.

I think the idea that he's any good is nothing more than a myth.

 

[Tombstone]

Not sure what the tactical gain is by drawing with them? If we had beaten them we'd probably end up top and if we win today after having drawn with Scotland we end up top, same end result surely?
