Spain looking annoyingly good so far

Mixing in these terrifyingly quick, direct and skillful wingers to their possession game is a delight.

Nico Williams! Por favor!

Delicious stuff from Spain.

Morata taking too many touches there. Shoot the ball man.

Bellingham annoyed me today. Plenty of times he ignored the wide players and turned inside only to be tackled by the Danish midfield two on one. Needs to play simple and use his abilities when needed not forcing it. 

Really hope the hype isn't getting to his head. Noticed that too.

He had a settled side then  a lot of the key players fell off at club level or got injured. So he dropped nearly all of them. 
 

would’ve been better off playing Sterling and Phillips.  That was at least a balanced side.  
 

Gallagher and Rice is his second choice CM pairing and it stinks. 

If he can't figure out a solution then he just isn't good enough man.

I reckon Potter is lined up next

Interesting ...

Maybe why he was so indecisive about the Leicester job.

Think he'd do a lot better tbh. Wouldn't be a bad shout at all.

Anyone find it even more alarming that the sitting back isn't his tactical instruction?!

We don’t have played in their right positions so you get disjointed performances. 

The manager has been there 8 years and still can't pick players in the best positions to optimize the team?

What kind of manager is this?!

I'd love to see this English squad with a manager who had a bit of belief in them and encouraged them to go forward and play aggressively. We need to play on the front foot (apologies for the Pardew-ism), this set of midfielders and attackers are fucking mint but they're constantly being stifled by the dour negative fucker in the dugout who is seemingly scared shitless of letting them get at team. Cut them loose ffs. 

100%

This team is full of players at teams that press week in and week out. They understand how to go about that.

Why not take advantage of that? It also suits your footballing identity as a nation, a more aggressive high tempo style.

None of these guys sit deep for their clubs defensively. You can see they don't even feel comfortable doing it, or know what they're doing.

Think the squad is over rated. 

Yeah, perhaps. But to be playing at such a poor level, against pretty ordinary sides though?

Inexcusable in my opinion.

Kane's touch map looks like a Tiote map.

Nothing makes sense with the whole approach man. It's crazy.

England with an unbalanced but talented squad. Fans with crazy expectations. 
 

ENGLAND IVE MOSSED YOU

I feel bad for England fans man.

If the team at least looked somewhat exciting, energetic or dynamic, I'm sure they'd be a bit more relaxed, even if they didn't win. At least they'd enjoy the matches.

Having to watch a team with this calibre of players, play so badly, and never win anything ...

That is some kind of punishment man.

One of the worst performances I've seen from England in a long time. Said earlier it was like watching Bruce's Newcastle, and I wasn't wrong. Got to be down to the manager and the tactics?

It's 100% the manager man.

The team doesn't even function a little bit.

The performances are falling below even an average level with these players?!

Gareth is a decent guy, but this ain't the gig for him man. It's not for everyone.

Maybe he'd be a really good pundit or something.

I feel bad for the players that have to answer questions after suffering through that kind of match.

Southgate is awful.

I just figured out why this is winding me up so much, even though I'm not English.

It's because of how familiar this feeling is watching this kind of football.

Allardyce, Pardew, Bruce ... it's the exact same type of random, lifeless, boring and confusing football.

We don't create anything. It's shocking like. 

I genuinely can't believe how bad this collection of players looks.

Some achievement by Gareth Southgate man. 

Just incredible.

Maybe Rashford was the key

Great run and ball to him. Unlucky Watkins.

Interesting subs. Enough time to make a difference too.

Foden has at least realised he's not at Man City anymore.

Playing with a lot more directness and urgency when he gets the ball now.

Watching Austria under Ragnick the other night and seeing how well they pressed and unsettled France, I can't even imagine what he'd do with your lot.

This is all on Southgate. He's just another of these PFM managers man. No real thought, plan or direction to anything that he's doing.

To have this level of talent and play like this is so unacceptable.

I haven't even got a stake in the game and it's annoying me so much man!

All your best players play in teams that press, and you lot never press or pressure the opposition.

This is an absolutely shocking performance.

Genuinely Steve Bruce levels of management, considering the calibre of players you have.

This is getting embarrassing.

Denmark are playing some stuff here.
