Ironic so far. Before the tournament began, everybody was saying we had a great forward line and midfield, but the problem is going to be the defence. In 3 games we’ve scored just 2 goals and conceded only 1 goal.

Mind you. If we carry on scoring more than we let in. Southgate will be proclaimed a genius. :trophy:

Foden moves to 10 and Bellingham alongside Rice.

Own Goal (not sure who he plays for) has scored more than England.

Sure, but if Palmer and Mainoo play for Saka and Gallagher who do you drop to make way for Gordon as well?

Maybe if we have 12 players it will be better!

Bruce

Maybe if we had a functioning Shaw and Rashford on the left things might be better?

(I say functioning because Rashford isn’t!)

Foden has left the camp and is heading home.

His partner’s about to give birth, apparently. He’s expected back for Sunday if all goes well.

Belgium are proving to be even more disappointing than England…

Three kids, no wonder he’s starting to look a bit knackered.

And he looks about 12 years old.

He also looks like he wants to move into comedy…

Belgium were poor and didn’t deserve to go through. Very hard on Ukraine.

Seems to me to be a bit naff when it’s strictly the third placed team in each of the six groups which progresses to the knockout stages.

Hungary, in Group A, with three points and a GD of -3 go through, yet Ukraine, bottom of group E with four points and a GD of -2, go home.

No fair. :man_shrugging:

Hope he’s not being influenced by Walker…

So if the Czechs win and go through as a 3rd place qualifier, England get Slovakia. If they don’t and Hungary go through they get the Netherlands.

Not sure i fancy either of those….

So for 10 minutes of football in the case of Palmer who is not a right winger and less than 5 for Gordon whose a left winger you’d consider dropping Saka and Mainoo replaces who Bellingham or Rice?
