Round of 16 | Sweden 1-2 Ukraine


Unbelievable

Mueller and Havertz dropping into those half spaces is going to be really bad news for England. Philips and Rice are going to be overwhelmed. Think maybe Southgate should have gone 3-5-2 instead to help deal with that.

I'm very cognisant of pissing on the chips of people who are optimistic and enthused (a state I'm genuinely envious of), so this will be my last moan for a while:

 

It's not even like England are a good defensive outfit. It's maddening. Inviting pressure onto your biggest weakness for 90 minutes.

The weird thing about all of this is if Southgate picked a more adventurous and attack minded team and England went out he'd still get some credit and less criticism I think. He's just asking for trouble with this defensive minded setup with so much attacking talent wasted on the bench. It's just so silly.
