  • Yeah me neither it doesn't seem too bad. We've had some fun matches and it's only once every 4 (5...) years, and everyone gets to have some fun watching their teams have a hope of getting out of the group. What's the issue innit
  • There's no nice way to bring up diddy nations, try as I might

    Diddy nation that made your boys look piss poor.

    Mount and Chilwell are out of the game tonight.
  • Chillwell was already never going to play.
  • and mount probably needs a rest and hopefully Sancho or similar will come in so silver lining
  • It will be Henderson.
    Got to play it safe.

    Is this the first Euros with the third place qualifying? I'm not really a fan of so many going through. We have played three matches each to cull 8 teams, we will do the same in the next round in a single match. It has a feeling of exhibition to the group stages rather than filtering out the best and worst of teams.

    No, Euro 2016 had it as well. Northern Ireland and Portugal went through with 3 points, which was fortunate for Portugal, since they went on to win it.

    It does seem a bit mental to only cut 2 teams. If they really wanted to open it up, then have 8 groups of 4 and top two from each group. Yes more chance of a few dead rubbers, but you could incentivise that with nation's league promotions or similar. Plus more teams involved, helps grow the support in those respective countries

  • They cut 8 teams from 24. All the six bottom teams go as well.

    I know, just couldn't be arsed to type. But still it makes it pretty difficult to go out of the tournament. Especially when the groups are seeded, so there's always likely to be a whipping boy in each one. Another 8 teams also means a lot more shipping boys too. Hmm maybe 7 of 4, best 4 3rds playoff for remaining two spots, gives a little extra rest time for those that did qualify, if too complicated just just the top two 3rd spots. Just feels like it should be the exception not the rule

    I’d love it <Keegan.gif> if England finish 3rd in the group and come back to these comments about 3rd place qualifying.
    Spoiler:

    Copa America is worse 4 teams out of a group of 5 get through.
    Things can only get better.
  • If England finished 3rd it would be a failure and we would have no business qualifying. I would rather be put out our misery and get a manager in that has a pair.
  • What about if they won the tournament tho’
  • Tainted like Greece.
    Also wont happen because the first time we meet a skilled defence we will stop getting as many set pieces and wont be able to score.
  • Tainted like greece?! What!?
  • Won  it by being boring as fuck. Although at least Greece were massive underdogs.

    That’s a thought, how is it possible that two England players are being benched for being close contacts of Gilmour while no Scottish players are getting the same?
  • Greece ruined football forever. football died that day

    Great defensive move there Liv.

    That's nothing, wait until Southgate replaces Mount with Henderson and becomes the first manager ever to play 3 CDMs at once

  • Livdiv exemplifying England fans of today. We are all Gareth's reserve rightback

  • Just fed up with negative football. As a ratio between attack and defense this is about as heavily leaning towards attack as England have had in decades and we have 'chicken korma hold the spice' for a manager.

    I want 2 goals from open play tonight or I'm writing off the tournament. I don't even care if we lose 3-2 doing it.
    2 goals, open play. No pens, corners, free kicks or own goals. And I want them proper as well, not Phillips scoring with his arse as the ball rebounds around the box.
  • Plot twist: England also a diddy team.
  • 4th in the world fuck you Englant am Best!
