Just the one change then, because it was working so well before...........

In Mainoo we trust.


Would've been nice to see Gordon and Palmer though... And maybe even Watkins. But Southgate won't change that many at once. Let's see how the first 45 plays out.

Let's go!!!

[Hrk69]

England is going home tonight. I can feel it.

 

[FeralEcho]

Please for the love of god no pens.

Either way I think Slovakia will score...they scored in all group stage matches. But I do think England will be the one to advance. I feel it will go into overtime. It all depends on how strong England starts this match,if they start strong putting pressure I feel they will win before extra time.

It ain't coming home without true suffering

 

[T8SC]

Yellow card within 3 minutes. Good start.

Guehi will miss the next match if we go through.

Edit: 2 in 6 minutes. Wtf.

 

[clarky]

WTF with all these cards.

 

[T8SC]

Refs gonna ruin this game. 3 yellows in 12 minutes for nothing tackles.

 

[FeralEcho]

4 yellow cards lol

 

[T8SC]

4 yellows in 16 mins. Does the ref know he can give a freekick without a yellow??

 

[Fret Runner]

Gk kicks it, two passes and it’s back to him.
Make it make sense.

We are so cooked I feel. Only a Few mins in, I know, but I’m just not seeing anything from the players that gives me hope. Just not feeling this at all. Urghhh back to doom watching. Come on England I don’t wanna go back to early 2000s era of just waiting for the fuck ups.

 

[T8SC]

No words.

 

[FeralEcho]

Beautiful goal from Slovakia. England needs to wake up and attack more,too many passes in the back half from the wingers.

 

[clarky]

it'll be ok he'll bring palmer on when we are 3 down

 

[T8SC]

Never seen so many passes between the back 4. Nobody making any movement up front. No fucking left side, I feel like a broken record saying that. Foden runs 3 yards and cuts it back every time. Get Gordon on!

 

[FeralEcho]

it'll be ok he'll bring palmer on when we are 3 down

Seriously when even the Gk goes outside the box to tell the defenders to push forward....I don't understand why Southgate plays so defensevely and passive.

Arteta plays Saka way more offensevely while here Saka just passes back cobstantly instead of pushing through... it's like all these players have their potential chained up...

 

[Fret Runner]

This is legit fucking awful.
I’m mentally checking out of this one.

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

England vs Italy would be first football game when everyone on the pitch is autistic.

 

[FeralEcho]

England vs Italy would be first football game when everyone on the pitch is autistic.

Seriously...they both were at these last 2 matches somehow the most passive and defensive teams even when they are down 1 goal or even 2 in Italy's case.

Wtf is Southgate doing with this play?

Even the romanian comentators were tired of all these backpasses by the England midfield and wingers.... It's like they are passing time....while down 1 goal lol

 

[FeralEcho]

5th yellow card in first half,at this point I'm expecting a 2nd yellow in the 2nd half for some player.

England is sooo boring to watch i think im going to die of boredom before this game ends. The most valuable national team in the world my ass.

 

[T8SC]

I'm just heading to Bet365 during HT to put a bet on who gets the first red card. Ref has an agenda.

Ikr He definitely seems like he wants to break some record. He already broke the record with 3 cards in the first 15 mins lol He's going all in

 

[Dr.Morris79]

We're coming home
We're coming home..

England's coming home

 

[T8SC]

Trippier off
Saka off
Kane off
Foden off

TAA on
Gordon on
Palmer on
Watkins on

Switch TAA with Walker.

But no doubt he'll take off Mainoo, our one bright spark, for Gallacher or some shit.

Edit: That'd be the fucking team I said to play the other day!

The team he should have started with.

At this point i want them out, fucking awful.

 

[FeralEcho]

No changes lol Southgate is insane at this point

 

[clarky]

No changes lol Southgate is insane at this point

Yep WTF

 

[FeralEcho]

There it is.

Edit: Lol spoke too soon....Clear Offside

 

[FeralEcho]

What the hell was that...

 

[T8SC]

Still no changes. 60 mins in.

Southgate taking the Erik Ten Hag approach.

 

[clarky]

Gallagher warming up lol

 

[T8SC]

Gallagher warming up lol

I noticed that too. The last person we need.

 

[clarky]

Good job we brought Shaw ..........

 

[T8SC]

Good job we brought Shaw ..........

Saka left back. Since when was that a thing? Hes definitely taken notes from EtH when he went nuts and put Maguire up front & Bruno in defence.

 

[Phobos Base]

So who next for England manager, is Mike Bassett available?

 

[FeralEcho]

No wonder Neville and Rooney don't like Bellingham...That was an embarassing attempt at getting a penalty...Reminded me of those Neymar ballerina attempts...

 

[FeralEcho]

England fully deserve to go home if nothing changes in the next 15 mins... They reminded me of Italy yesterday...Barely any desire to attack and pushthrough.

Slovakia would fully deserve this win with how passionate they played.

 

[T8SC]

14 minutes to go.

All that attacking flair and we've managed 2 goals in 4 games.

Simply not good enough. Everyone of them needs to take a long look in their 24 carat diamond encrusted Gucci branded mirror.

 

[clarky]

Not a shot on target.

 

[FeralEcho]

Finally,first shot on target but damn...that was unlucky.

 

[T8SC]

Not a shot on target.

Rice heard you.

 

[Toytown Assassin]

Curse of ITV in full effect. That and England playing shite.

Of course the real curse of ITV is having to listen to this garbage commentary.

 

[clarky]

Rice heard you.

Still not on target lol.

Please lads a flash of brilliance required

 

[dotnotbot]

England 2-0

Predictions

England 2 - 0 Slovakia

Who invited you?
