Watching half the England team collapse in exhaustion at the final whistle is not a great look..

Yeah. Didn't seem like that tough of a game.

I love watching the different reactions of the fans. Tied match.... England fans visibly angry. Denmark fans singing en mass.

 

[B Maverick]

So much talent being held back by Southgate. TAA in MF? cmon.

 

[titusbramble]

Terrible game, not helped by watching at a beer fest relaying the game through an internet stream that was hugely delayed to the point I needed to wait 2 minutes from knowing Kane had scored to seeing Kane score. Hopefully we're just getting the bad games out of the way early and have ended the Trent experiment for good

 

[B Maverick]

I am tapping into a U.S. feed for the Slovenia v. Serbia game. Amazing ending, totally soured by hearing Alexi Lalas. Can't believe he is still doing soccer on U.S. tv. Shoot me.

ETA: I am devastated I have to come back to that crap.

The videos bouncing around twitter showing Sturridge's frustration with Lalas is epic. He is all of us when it comes to Lalas.

Depends on who is watching...

Southgate is English for Berhalter.

But, the players also were convincingly outworked by Denmark. It was shocking how many ball and 2nd balls that Denmark won in the midfield. And that included when Bellingham was playing deeper. Tactics are wrong - but player effort was disappointing today.

What a strange saga - sacked by Middlesbrough after getting them relegated. Coached England youth team for three years then was an emergency interim appointment in 2016 when Big Sam resigned in disgrace after one game during WC qualification. Kept the job ever since despite never winning anything. Best result was making the 2020 Euro final at Wembley in which he brought on Rashford and Sancho in the 120th minute and both unsurprisingly missed their penalties.

If Southgate had a Ferrari he’d drive it at 10mph.

Southgate puts his phone on low power mode when the batteries are on 99%.

Southgate's favorite activity is to watch the paint dry.

If Southgate was a spice, he’d be flour.

If Southgate was a Prime Minister, he would be Liz Truss.

Oh for sure, I've said that often.

Hearing the post game talk about how Southgate can't sub and can't change tactics. Same thing that is often said about GGG. They are the same person.

 

[McBokonon]

Could've used Gordon out there to create some things.

I felt bad for Sancho and Rashford after that. Aside from a throw in taken by Rash, neither touched the ball prior to the PK.

Its amazing how Southgate has unified Chelsea and United fans, both wondering how he can leave Palmer and Mainoo on the bench.

not good

:elbows way in: Newcastle supporters will buy you a beer today. We watched Gordon create something out of nothing all year.

 

[El Floppo]

Bowen in for Foden was telling.

England played like they deserved to win to start, and once up a goal stopped playing but still seemed to think they deserved to win. Such a weird approach. And barely deserved the point.

 

[NewlyRetired]

what a picture!

So for me, what the players did out there was poor. But Trent in the MF seemed all wrong too.

But that's England for you. They are Entitled. "It's coming home!"

change the last word "point" to "win" and you also described England's first game perfectly

never met a Brit I liked.

 

[Deamon]

very nervous for this game.

Let's here everyone's score prediction for this one.

 

[Deamon]

Going with a 3rd 1-1 draw of the day

 

[TennesseeJed]

Bowen in for Foden was telling.

I thought the most telling moment - leaving Bellingham on, and taking Kane off.

Bellingham was anonymous, at best today.

I think that was the subtle hint that this may be Bellingham's team, and not Kane's...

2-1

Forza!!

Williams has to bury that.

Someone's color correction is way off. Thought that was the Dutch initially.

 

[TripItUp]

This is the best Nat soccer I've seen in quite some time...love the flow and connectivity.

 

[NewlyRetired]

we get to watch Yamal for another 20 years plus....

 

[TripItUp]

great strike and save

 

[NewlyRetired]

Spain looks awesome

 

[TripItUp]

Damn ...Spain has so much class. They look terrific.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Surprised yes, but I'm personally very happy if no Chelsea players get off the bench for their countries in these tournaments this summer. Spain should really give Cucurella a rest already. Enzo should absolutely not play for Argentina tonight.

 

[massraider]

Have to assume Nico will eventually create the breakthrough goal here in the 2nd half

Yeah sometimes I feel that way about United players. Was somewhat glad Rashford stayed home. Needs to get healthy and back to his best.

 

[TripItUp]

really enjoyed that half

I can't believe Ecuador is even bringing Caicedo to the US. I've read all year how terrible he is, surely they have better options.

 

[TennesseeJed]

How many times did the England midfield lose the ball today?

Just a matter of time for Spain imo.


This Yamal kid is fantastic too

Owen still killing it

Owen strikes again

 

[TennesseeJed]

Looks like Chelsea are going to have to bid higher to sign Owen Goal after this tournament.

He's being linked with United for 100M

He's being linked with United for 100M

But they probably won't offer him an 8-year deal like Chelsea....

No, they'll open with an offer of 28M+8M then pay 125m at the deadline.

Injuries are killing these teams. Lewandowski out, Mbappe broken nose, and England are decimated without Kalvin Phillips.
