This week the training program for the England team... How to hit a coo on the arse with a banjo followed by an in depth discussion on what the white wooden structure with a net is at each end of the park.
I think they are going to put some arrows onto the grass to show which way is forward

Do you think that'll help Engerluuuuund score?
Odds dropping on them winning this.
They need to win on Tuesday to secure the top of the group.
If, and it's a big if, Scotland win by two or three goals and England lose then they might not even get to the last 16 depending on the results in other groups.
My tenner on Italy winning is still safe for another 90 minutes.

Nope but it may make them look like they could score.
Never thought they would win - not with GS in charge, far to cautious his first thought is don't lose and his second is safety first.
Need to be a bit more expansive to win tourneys like the Euros - could have a decent side but need a different manager

Attleborough, Norfolk
To bring this thread back to my initial quandary, it seems I'm not out of the woods yet!
Tomorrow night will have wifey and I in separate rooms, watching separate matches and hurling insults/abuse/encouragement at each other along the hall.
As usual with these things, I will be keeping fingers crossed that both teams get through and the Scottish house contingent will be hoping England fail. :roll:

And we’ll be hoping you don’t say anything stupid enough to involve removal of bodily bits that you hold dear to you :lol:

It always entertains me how every. single. time. there is any national level championship its basically in the bag for england before the ball is even kicked. Its the undeserved arrogance of it that makes me an ABE kinda guy
To be honest, the national level championships in England usually are in the bag for England.Flyingfifer said:N4LLY said:

Trouble is these pesky 'International' competitions where they insist on letting the ancillaries in, who then think they are allowed to compete and win stuff. Damn bad show don't yer know!
TBH even that's not a foregone conclusion. It's been a 0-0 draw for the past few yearsenuff_zed said:To be honest, the national level championships in England usually are in the bag for England.Flyingfifer said:N4LLY said:

This is probably the best crop of young talented players since Beckham & Co, just as you say, tragic we have Southgate as manager. His tactics remind me of Strictly Come Dancing, Back, Back, Sideways, back, back.

TBH that criticism has been levelled at many an England manager over the years. It seems to me that as long as we don't lose it's OK. Sooner or later, though, you have to win. I can't believe Southgate is relying on penalty shoot-outs to win a major competition with his record.Nanu said:
couldnt England be knocked out by Croatia or Scotland if england lose tonight, and then either Croatia or Scotland give the other team a thorough (ie 5-0) thrashing?
we're really in a pickle here as Croatia or Scotland know they need to win, and score loads of goals. whereas England are through as long as we don't lose. So Czech Rep put 1 past us, and Croatia put 2 past Scotland, and suddenly we're kicked out on goal difference?

to be honest not expecting fireworks from tonights game, but i'll give it a watch, because im english and it feels like the right thing to do.
but then again.... roads will be awful quiet... and the boxster hasnt been out for a run in a while...
