Euro 2024

[Dunners]

I've been saying all along that sOUThgate is sh*t.

[gshaw]

Had a bad feeling we were in trouble a few mins before that goal went in. Haven't seen such scared, lifeless anti-football since the days of Embleton's Orient side

[Celtient]

My point is, why are they so keen to see penalties awarded for handball ( usually accidental) but not so keen to award penalties for shirt pulling (100% deliberate)

Presumably because of the sheer number of penalties that would be given.

And that would be a problem, because?

[Hoover Attack]

No problem for me (I’ve already said it’d soon stop anyway).

[Dunners]

A mere 45 minutes into the first half, and England finally show up.

[RBMarshall]

Good lesson for Scotland strikers there. Concentrate on putting the ball in the net rather than drawing the foul.

[RedDwarf 1881]

All too easy to predict . From the beginning of this competition England has been awful . I think this will be Southgate’s last game in charge

[Qin]

Cole Palmer must come on at half time, and Anthony Gordon took
We lack tempo, no one's running, or making runs
45 mins away from being rid of Southgate

[Long slender neck]

We can get back into this but next goal will decide it.

[Sid Bishop]

What is the point of playing Foden on the left wing, ditto to Trippier playing at left back !

[Sid Bishop]

Southgate, master of negative tactics and playing players out of position.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

No need to panic. Give em 10 mins despite all the pundits going mad. 45 mins is a long time. Something needs to change with the players out there though

[Long slender neck]

Panic now?

[RedDwarf 1881]

Arguably, the goal of the tournament from a special player England had better go onto win this now after nearly thrown it away

[Dunners]

F*ck this. By now I really should know better.

[Dunners]

Never in doubt.

[Currywurst and Chips]

Great stuff, Southgate has been fully vindicated basically playing the same team over and over

[gshaw]

Foden off, Toney on and goals happen, the former will still probably start the next game if we scrape through this

[Beradogs]

The bloke is just about the worst manager i have seen in my lifetime but he’s bloody lucky and that’s counts for so much.

Yup was said in 2018 and 2021 he might not be a good manager but he's a lucky manager. Really got away with one tonight, Slovakia didn't deserve that last minute sucker punch

[RedDwarf 1881]

I don't know how we done it but we slipped out of jail there . It still feels like we're playing in second gear . We're going to need to find a higher gear to beat Switzerland . Anyway , onwards we go .

[cockhat]

Best team lost.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Another quarter final. Southgate’s England go marching on. The stess of that will help them out long term and all winning teams have tournament games like that they somehow get through.

[Long slender neck]

Attack attack attack! Will he learn?

[Dunners]

Recommendation needed:

I'm down the West End next Saturday for some poncey theatre action. Thankfully, it's a matinee performance. So I need a recommendation for where I can watch the game with some refined guests. Preferably somewhere I can book a table and where the scum/riff raff isn't likely to be. And with fine wine.
