And Scotland were the only team to take a point off you

More to the point Iain, don’t forget your Scottish heritage

I haven't forgotten that, but my allegiance changes depending on which team is doing better - so for now I support England.

Sometimes it is handy to have a choice!

But I'll support any of the Home Nations, if they aren't playing England or Scotland.

I'm not into football, I like to see how our local team are doing, nothing more than that.
But, I have really enjoyed the last couple of games and I'm really impressed with the England team.
There are some fantastic players and they really are a team, playing as one.
Nice to see John is still amongst us

Italy to win

The amount of diving on display last night was appalling

FIFA need to get it sorted out

I dont suffer from the same delusion, I know Scotland are shite and am cool with that

I just dont try to convince everyone that we are actually the worlds best every time we play

Still, we are shite and 44th in the world but you couldnt even score and allegedly you lot are 4th

And as you love stats Flying I’ll leave you this….check out the foul ratio….

They knew they couldn’t win by playing so they kept fouling and stopping our attacks in the hope of getting to penalties….could have been 4-1 or so if they hadn’t been quite so….contrary shall we say….

Not sure how we got to the final if we can’t score….struggling with that one….

I think we’re probably the most level headed of most teams, no one looks or acts the best in the world to me….but then I’m not bitter….

"Foul" = "awards for performative diving"
As for the rest of those stats they dont exactly paint england as the football gods they are portrayed as

Maybe try actually reading what I said

You couldn't score against Scotland... 44th in the world despite being the 4th team in the world

Italy to win

Well as I said to Andy we had to go easy on you guys to stop you crying….obvs hasn’t worked with everyone….

On the issue of management, yes we won but can anyone explain why he played Grealish as a sub then subbed him for Trippier??? They were having to foul Grealish to stop him. Could understand reinforcing the defence but Trippier? Just can't understand the logic or am I missing something?

john-e89 · Post by **john-e89** » Thu Jul 08, 2021 9:14 pm

I’m guessing he decided to save Grealish for the final, that’s just a guess as I don’t know that much about footy to argue about it.

Yes I think you’re missing something with respect, Southgate knows cart loads more than anyone here and he’s done a brilliant job, isn’t he the most successful or second most successful manager of international footy ever..? I’m sure I read he was but obvs will stand corrected,
