  1. If, and it's a big if judging by this tournament so far, Kane turns up I don't see anyone in that German line up being able to deal with him tbh. If he can drop in and play passes through for Sterling and Saka I think we'll be fine.
  2. What an incredible day of football, man. This tournament has been awesome. Inevitable that we bring it home too imo.
  3. Should’ve brought big Fab Schar on to take the penalty.
  4. Doesn’t matter who we get in the next round tbh. Football coming hone is inevitable.
  5. They’ve given him the freedom of that side as they’re shitting themselves about Grealish/Sterling tbf, but yeah he’s doing well.
  6. This pretty much, but if he’s MOTM tonight there’s no doubt he should be starting the next round imo. Especially if Mount’s going to be out.
  7. Gah. Would’ve liked a Finland equaliser as Danes have probably done enough to qualify in third.
  8. We could do with a couple of goals and at least one from Kane, for the sake of confidence. Hope Southgate sets the team up accordingly, regardless of personnel.
  9. He’s ridiculous. At least Lawro was accidentally funny sometimes.
  10. That combination of Robertson/Tierney will give pretty much any side a headache. It's a shame for Scotland they don't have a forward to match.
  11. Foden was pretty much the only player who looked like he was going to cause Scotland problems imo. Every other player was happy to just pass the ball sideways/backwards in front of Scotland’s block (or in Sterling’s case yesterday simply just be incapable of controlling the ball).
  12. I honestly can’t believe anyone could watch yesterday’s game and decide that taking Foden out of the team is the answer
  13. We were so slow with the ball. It was a problem all night and then we made it worse by taking the one player off who was looking to move it quickly (Foden). I know he was off it in the first game, but felt as though we missed Walker too. The full backs seemed to be underlapping and I don’t think either Shaw or James really knew what to do. Walker is a risk taker and actually has quite penetrative passing when he’s playing well. That’s why Pep is happy to play him inside. I would consider dropping Rice out and putting Phillips into DM for the next game. Play Foden as the 8 and get Sancho in the team out wide.
  14. Declan Rice dropping a genuine 1/10 performance here.
  15. Rice has been really poor. Would put Grealish on for him and drop Phillips to DM. Kane absolutely embarrassing.
  16. Italy look pretty good but they’ve not played anyone decent for (literally) years. The Netherlands are the best team they’ve played since 2018, and they’re not exactly great. I’ve a feeling they’ll get taken apart by someone like France or a more possession-hungry side like Spain.
  17. Switzerland’s back three is pretty unorthodox to watch. Schar is central but by far the most aggressive/advanced of the three.
  18. Aye, I think Keane would be sound tbh.
