Yep.

1991 FA Cup Semi-Final Gascoigne 2 Arsenal 0 after 10 minutes including THAT free kick and opening up the defence for the other. Magic.

Shame about the Final.

Remembering Gazza had been injured for a long time prior to that game.

We were awful but I thought Ming's was quite solid !!

If you want your centre back to be in the mould of Shane Duffy then he did ok, if you want your centre back to also be a football player and not a clumsy oaf then he’s simply not good enough.

Terrible, unambitious, risk averse performance. However, a draw between us and the Czechs in the final game puts both of us through in first and second place. Neither of us has a particular motivation to win the game. A draw would mean that we would be second and would avoid the runners up from Group F. That dull performance and negative approach has actually put us in the best position to progress in the easier side of the first knockout stage. I'd surely be over-estimating Southgate to imagine that this was his aim, but, following Croatia's equaliser, the draw was probably the best result for us.

Last four seasons he has 28 goals in 34 European matches and 117 in 159 EPL.

Is there any track that isn't flat ?

Impressive stats, how many of those goals were against top teams? I know that a VERY small percentage were against decent teams in meaningful matches for England

My take. It is for sure a disappointing result. But we haven’t played well in 2 games yet have 4 points and should qualify.

Teams that win these things are often slow burners. This team have got several gears to go to, and we haven’t even seen Sancho yet.

All three Brighton CBs could have started in the first two games and would have been comfortable. I also think that Dunk or Webster would have scored the chance Stones missed.

It was like listening to a 45rpm single played at 33rpm.

Completely the wrong speed and far too slow. Maybe the players were tired?

Scotland played well :clap2:

England were a bit shit :shootself

Seeing how happy Souness is with a 0-0 draw in a game where they were probably the better team sums up why, for better or worse, I'm glad I'm cursed with following England rather than Scotland.

…. or, France, Belgium and Italy have a bucketloads of players we can only dream of.

Disappointed by Southgate in that interview.
Blaming it on youngsters not being used to the occasion when it was his desicions that ****ed things up.
Very poor,and looked like a man under pressure.

Didn't bother staying to watch the autopsy, but I imagined almost word for word what he would say so I don't feel like I missed anything. Lots of eye contact, humble talk of "growth" and "the group". "Taking a lot from the game", lathering praise on Scotland's performance.
