Rob probably thinks this England team is the equivalent of the 2011 Barca team.

I think there was an element of this tonight. Possibly trying something out with the knockouts in mind, given that we have had limited preparation time and we knew we had three points already in the bag from Monday.
Cede possession a bit but set up to try and stifle the opposition. And he’s done it with four at the back instead of his usual five and limited USA to one shot on target all night.
Clearly need to sharpen up going forward, but imagine if tonight gives him the confidence to play a back four against France or Argentina, and push another body higher up the pitch.
When we lose. I worry for you

And Bellingham, Saka and both full backs.
Bellingham, Saka, Sterling and Mount all played like they were just waiting for stuff to happen.
Don’t forget Henderson, he was *****

But when some of us were trying to point out Southgate is the biggest reason you didn't win anything, we were called haters.
Yeah I was saying this since euro 2020- we got so much backlash in the thread

I remember when I used to buy 442, I feel the quality really dipped a while back sadly.

Its weird how that whole Class of 92 are in their own different ways so detestable, one of Fergie's most underrated achievements in football was keeping Paul Scholes quiet for 20 years
Haha, Scholes is the most bizarre when you hear him talk.

Totally unacceptable comments.
Even if the police are being told not to do what they normally do in regards to homosexuality it does not change the fact that Qatar's attitude to different sexual identities is totally wrong.
Oh I agree, it's terrible. I was just saying that comments like that were bound to happen, the WC should never have gone there in the first place.

Stuff like this was inevitable when they gave the WC to Qatar. I don't know what people expected

Gosh just google, did Phil actually tweet a joke about battering his wife? That's insane.

Beckham works for the Qatari's even more directly than Gary and Phil had those sexist tweets that read like a comic from an 80's working mans club in Bolton.
Oh yeah forgot about Beckham and the Qatari stuff!

If he was just doing it as part of his obligations to a UK broadcaster then fair enough... it's still the World Cup and part of the reason states target events like this is because it's impossible to pull yourself out of the vortex sometimes. He's working for a Qatari state owned broadcaster though, there's no defence nor reason for that and unless he plans to go absolutely nuclear during his commentary of the final or something like that he must know nobody is going to take his claims of "highlighting the issue" seriously.
It's depressing sometimes to live long enough to find out the least weird/shady of the Co92 is the one who bites off his daughters toe nails.
In terms of least shady, what’s the issue with Becks or Phil?
Butt/Giggs pretty obvious

Imagine the odds of these 3 being in the team of the tournament at the start
I think Stones should have got in ahead of Maguire, but well done to those 3 👍

The videos doing the rounds on the socials were from an outer perimeter, not the entrance to the stadium proper. Miles away from where you access the seats. I mean it’s clearly not good that people were breaking through but there would have been another 1-2 checks after that point.
But somehow lots got through, seems conclusive from the reports.

England needs to invite more depth at central midfield.
That's the one thing that wins you tournaments. Having high quality players is obviously a factor, but having many that occupy the same positions isn't helping much.
There was Phillips and Rice who have had a great tournament, Henderson who is a decent choice, Bellingham who is raw. But you need more. Who are the other guys? Maybe both Mount and Foden could be slotted there in a 3 man system.
Look at the past Euro and World champions, even Greece of 2004, the main strength of these teams aside from tactical awareness at the back, was the force of the center of their midfield. It allows you to control the game and that was what England was lacking in the last two encounters. Versus Denmark they turned the game around after the Danes made their subs and loat the midfield after 65-70 minutes. Versus Italy they had no chance.
You can shout that Sancho and Rashford or others need to play more, but that means that Sterling and Kane have to go off. I don't think Southgate had the guts to do that. The midfield is too thin for that to be a possibility and conceding is always a risk, so guarding the back line felt like a higher priority for the manager. I don't think England could have reached the final and make it a tough game without this approach.
This is spot on, it's tiresome seeing us give up possession again in a big game.

So many positives to take from this tournament and the English still turn to their favourite pastime: Who can be blamed for this?
