Agree with all of that

Fair and balanced.

I had a bit of an epiphany this morning (earlier not as a result of this post) about why I've never been able to fully get behind supporting England in the past and this seems to encapsulate it very well - it's Brexit football Ignore everything and just believe. Don't analyse or think, they won so IT'S COMING HOME. Nobody is using anything as a stick to beat them with, you can watch a game even a 4-0 and be objective enough to understand the other team gifted you most of the goals and that better teams almost certainly won't. You can understand this and also think that in winning the game 4-0 they played very well and Southgate's cautious approach seems to be paying dividends. FWIW I think we're going to win it, I just think we've got too much across the board, but if Italy turn up and do a classic Italian shutdown job things might get tasty. I've always been like this with Newcastle - I remember arguing with a diehard toon fan in the Pardew 5th year about the quality of the performances rather than just getting unduly excited about a 1-0 win.

ffs

I suppose I keep forgetting this bit and wonder if it's the crux of their case or at least important to it - if the PL have clearly indicated the deal would be passed (as we keep hearing now and heard at the time) then they simply didn't do it what was the material change from the PL's side that caused them to reverse what they'd initially indicated?

Maybe that's why this isn't sitting so well with me - whenever England have tried to be defensive/cautious in the past they've always fucked it up because we're usually not very good at it

Good article in The Athletic about Rafa today, absolutely gutting to think we're back to Bacon next week

WTF We've got people on here that can't understand what GB News is? We don't deserve a takeover. Call it.

Did they do any actual analysis of the goals last night? Another reason why I dislike England games sometimes. If those goals were being analysed in a normal premier league match the likes of Souness/Keane or whoever would be laughing their tits off at the defending for at least 3 of them 1. Kane marked until guy stepped up to play offside on his own 2. Maguire free header 6 yards out 3. The best of the bunch but Shaw left run free (lovely by Sterling to play him in) and neither CB marked Kane for the header, though you could argue his movement did that maybe 4. Free header 6 yards out from a corner Thought Maguire summed the game up better than the studio in about sentence: good start, they adjusted and caused us lots of problems in the first half, second goal killed it. We've been impressive mind, can't argue with going 5 games not conceding against anyone in a tournament but I'll be amazed if we're gifted goals like that vs. Denmark or Italy if we end up against them. Spain are a shitshow at the back so could see us scoring against them. My worry about this team is if they have to chase a game against a team that can defend. Timing of Kane's upturn in form could be massive mind, he's back in the right positions and showing energy, no one else left in the tournament has a striker anywhere near him (or Sterling really).

First thing I said was he's not prolific enough. Just suggesting that his all round game is very good and could occupy a similar role to the deeper one Kane played which you'd know if you were watching this game properly. I thought that was pretty clear.

Nobody compared him to Kane. Dolberg was incredibly highly rated and great at Ajax that season they went to the Uefa final, he's not come out of nowhere ffs.

Traditionally we don't fare well vs. Scandinavian sorts that are big, physical and organised but I suppose that's not really our game anymore where it was in the past (being more physical). Their front 3 look very good together has to be said.

Guess he's not prolific enough? Replacing Kane on the cheap would be a decent shout imo, coming into play that deep role Kane occupied this season with Son plus whoever running off him. But he's not a big enough name for the mighty spurs imo

Dolberg all round game is great like; vision, movement, first touch, all sorts of flicks first time into other players.

My bets disappeared for me, won't be able to cashout anyway

Took me 20 minutes to place an in play (that lost)

Mine keeps disappearing randomly. I assumed it was because I'm having to use chrome on my phone rather than the app as I'm at work.

Reading this I'm almost tempted to go and watch this show just to see how bad it actually is. My guess is extremely.

Didn't know Castore were doing Wolves kits as well. https://www.footyheadlines.com/2021/06/wolves-21-22-kits.html

Black & White a prudent choice so you can't see all the shit and dirt around the ground
