in my lifetime england have never beaten a good team in a knockout phase. maybe you could argue Spain in euro 96 but tbh that was before Spain were a 'good' team tournament knockout phase victories since 1990: belgium cameroon spain denmark ecuador columbia sweden tournament knockout phase defeats since 1990: germany germany argentina brazil portugal portugal germany italy iceland croatia

Yeh that's a bit harsh on Croatia, throughout the 2010s they were a top team.

Just saw that England have qualified for the knockout rounds without even kicking a ball. It's coming home.

As per my last post yesterday, and with Mount out with viddy, absolutely no excuse to not take the handbrake off a bit now. The Czechs came to Wembley two years ago and we put 5 past them. Some sort of change is needed to get the moral and confidence up. If we face Portugal or Germany in the next round, sure, go 4231 and be pragmatic, but not tonight. Regardless, ICH.

Why do they need to isolate? Can’t they just test them and if they’re negative they can play?

So if ENG win the group then they play on Tuesday, meaning Mount/Chilly available. But it also means you have to play Portugal/Germany. Welp

Omnikin posted:So if ENG win the group then they play on Tuesday, meaning Mount/Chilly available. But it also means you have to play Portugal/Germany. Welp Yep. I mean I will get laughed out of town, and that's ok, but I would not be scared if we faced either of those at Wembley in the R16. They're both better than England, but I think the conservative/pragmatic style of Southgate may actually be a decent counter to what they both offer. Throw in the home support, and I would think we had a chance. Thinking of fixtures like Belgium or Spain in the NL where the tactical plan worked. But then I remember horror shows like Scotland where the plan absolutely did not work and I had to listen to two simpletons in the pub complain all game, and in the middle of their ranting had to ask me the name of the lad we had at right back.

Football at international tournaments should be like a deckbuilder game. You've got 26 in your extended squad, as picked by the manager, before each game they're all shuffled about, you draw 18 players from the pool which you get to pick a team+subs from. If you don't have a goalkeeper in those eighteen you can draw again but you're down two in your matchday squad.

Frankston posted:Harsh on Mings, he's been their best defender. I would go with that. He's not had too much to do, but considering everyone, including myself, thought he was a walking disaster waiting to happen, I think he's been a solid 7 out of 10 so far. Can't say I am too upset with the leaked XI. Everyone clamouring for Grealish, well, he's there.
