Rodri would know the rules,zero sympathy from me, provided they are consistent.

Oh I think he knew the rules. Knew them well enough to know he would get the one match ban out of the way in a match which he may well have sat out anyway given Spain’s position. Tactical decision to argue with the referee perhaps :unsure:😉
 
Anybody seen the England Tournament Failure Scapegoat recently? Oh there he is ……it’s Phil Foden.

This bit made me laugh “Manchester City midfielder Foden has featured in both of England's group games, but is yet to score or assist in the tournament.”

This could apply to several other players but they have chosen to point to Foden.

So England top their group, but the fans are still not happy because Southgates brand of footy makes Maureen's look exciting.
 
Did what was needed - got out of the group, avoided the hosts in the first knockout round. But it seems an unpalatable fare has been served up. Did nit see the game but understand there was more booing….

It's not the brand of football, it is the team selection which was crying out for Foden to move to where he brought Gallagher into the team and palmer out on the left swapping with sake on the right. instead he brough on Mainoo (no effect) and then when he did finally get palmer on it was far to late in the game

18 minutes into England v Serbia ans the commentator states that Harry Kane hasn’t touched the ball yet. England leading 1-0. Shearer comments that “it doesn’t matter”.

Oh right.

It only fecking matters when Haaland is playing and then it’s critical to note how many touches he has in a game.

Don't get me started on the England team man, Southgate has ruined a great team.... period

The thing about this that I really dislike…..we know that a substantial number of Scots will be actively supporting Slovakia as they actively support any opponent of the English national team simply because that is what they do. That is what they always do and I find it immensely depressing that so many take this attitude. 😔

Yes it is Odd, because I would be supporting any British Team, Ireland and members of the Commonwealth, except the states because they have defaulted on their taxes.
 
BellEndingham proving that he hasn’t changed. Petulant and bitching in England’s dire first 15 minutes.

I was in Scotland one year during a European Championship I think in the 1980s or 1990s I can’t remember and the atmosphere in the pub where I was watching an England game was toxic and horrid. Prior to then I had always wanted the Scotland teams to do well. All that changed by the behaviour and comments I witnessed then. :shake:
 
If there were awards for teams passing the ball back and forth across their defensive line deep inside their own half England would top the table.

Otherwise they have been utterly clueless.

It was obvious from the naming of the squad that this was not going to work

Palmer and Gordon both on fire, Grealish and slabhead not selected, no left back and a right back who cannot cross a ball, Rice is overrated and what has mainoo deserved to get a start.

You cannot experiment in a major tournament that is what friendliest are for ffs I hope we can turn this around

When I lived in Wales when asked who do you want to win the World Cup, reply was anyone but England

A right footed left back is not helping to release Foden who is being boxed in; Kane not mobile enough; BellEndingham relying on his rep; Mainoo is overrated.

Odds on Foden being the scapegoat if they go out?
