Err no it doesnt mate, I said from the beginning I was comparing major championships the euros and WC which are the only true major things worth winning...... you tried to twist in the new friendlies replacement competition that gives minnows a chance to make up numbers in the euros, to give...

The Croatia team are no mugs, but they are not as strong today as they were in 2018, that's a fact, 3 of their best players have retired. The England squad now since 2018 is stronger imho the Croatia squad weaker. The nation's league are effectively new format for friendlies ++, they are not...

A penalty shoot out is a lottery, and usually the players to take a penalty choose themselves based on how confident they're feeling, not the manager. Just as Henderson chose himself v Colombia and missed. So you genuinely think Carragher skying one pen in 2006 in a game we didnt lose in...

Southgate has done better? I guess you're also taking a piss easy run with in WC 18 wins over Panama Tunisia Colombia on pens and Sweden as proof of that ridiculous statement? (we lost all 3 games against decent opposition - Belgium twice and Croatia) Sven, for all his faults beat Argentina at...

But in this day and age to get the job as the coach of the 4th ranked team in world football and with a hugely talented bunch of young English players, all playing in top leagues and for decent clubs, you would NEVER get the job with an unspectacular playing career or failed at Middlesbrough...

You might but Southgate doesn't have the balls to leave out his pet favourites despite lack of form Expect Sterling and Kane to start. I'd prefer 3 at the back and get Ben on the right of it.

All excellent observations. I know Rice is a good player, seen it for WHU but last night he reminded me of a below par Dale Stephens, doing nothing except plod around lethargically and only go backwards. I came across a red cafe (man u forum) thread via twitter last night delving into the...

I know he's not too popular around here, but if Southgate continues with this clueless selection, turgid rubbish and flunks out early, the FA may just have an ideal candidate, out of work with zero compensation. Smug Eddie would actually be a great appointment for the England job imho...

As a person Southgate speaks well and seems a decent enough fella, I honestly have always felt he's not up to the job tactically. A failed Boro manager, pretty unspectacular in the U21's and gets the job as a compliant FA yes man. On merit or on CV he'd be nowhere near the England managers job...

Southgate doing similar to what Potter did in the cup v Newport County or Blackpool. Give the second string a run out!

It's the hope that kills you. Never mind, it was a nice touch by UEFA to increase the number of teams in the competition to allow a few extra perennial failures to have 3 group games and experience making into a big competition. And on the plus side, in a week from now you'll still have the...
