I'm unsure how some other players got ahead of Sancho. Like Saka and Bellingham. Tough choices which might go against Southgate. Still alot of attacking quality in the squad. If that fails at least he has a penalty in the diving Grealish off the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Lampard just mentioned the big pitch. It’s like when they talk about the big pitch at Hampden for Scottish Cup finals.

ri Alban Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 England have chosen the wrong Goalkeeper. Croatia have a chance. 0-0 probably the best result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E. including the bench. If that is the case, he obviously didn't have much choice. i assume it is only for this euros due to the change to 26 man squads. however what difference would letting another 3 players be on the bench be. as it would give more players a better experience of the tournament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redjambo Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Because we're in the same group, I have no idea what I want from this game. Perhaps ri is right and 0-0 is the best outcome? Or would a rammy and sendings-off be welcome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moshy Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 First half I will be out cutting firewood with the chainsaw to annoy the Yorkshireman at one side of our property. Second half I will be round the other side of the property with the petrol strimmer to annoy the Cockney Winker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England's off the ball movement will cause us serious problems if our players don't watch their men and look out for the runs they're making. They've got a bit of pace up front as well.
