[Football] England v USA

[Swansman]

They'll most likely fade as they did against the Welsh.

Think we'll nick it one nothing.

Sure, there's a decent chance. They are dependant on running more than England (and they gladly do) but obviously that means some tired legs in the final 20 or so.

 

[St Leonards Seagull]

It’s been awful, they have had the ball with no pressure. I’m wondering if they’re worried about Stones and Maguire being exposed with pace. I can’t think of another reason they’re dropping off so much.
I wouldn’t mind a few long balls or diagonals either. With the pace of Sterling and Saka it might give them something else to think about.

 

[US Seagull]

They'll most likely fade as they did against the Welsh.

Think we'll nick it one nothing.

That is the fear (for the US). They were great in the first half against Wales but failed to adapt in the second half when Wales made changes.

But since Southgate is shit, maybe he won't make any changes?

On to the tequila now.

Come on boys!

 

[Billy the Fish]

Am I the only one who's enjoying this?

Pretty even game, both teams had some good spells, it's just lacking a bit of quality in the box.

 

[Icy Gull]

Is this the worst game of the tournament so far?

A shit version of Potter/De Zerbi ball from England imo

I am half inclined to wish for a USA goal to kick our arses into gear

Southgate not changing a thing, quelle surprise

I think @Popeye may be enjoying it, even more so now the tequila is opened

 

[Pevenseagull]

Bit shit innit.

 

[Poojah]

Lee Dixon would make a very good sleep aid.

 

[allystrat]

Most of the England players rating 4 out of 10 so far for me. Trippier, Mount, Stirling and Sake especially poor

 

[ManOfSussex]

But we put 6 past an Iran side who didn't sing their national anthem in protest and solidarity at everything thats happening there, who looked completely dazed and perhaps were wondering all game about what might happen to them and their families afterwards...... Southgate was obviously leading us to world cup glory, but now this.

 

[LamieRobertson]

We seem a bit crap

 

[Zeberdi]

Southgate has underestimated this USA side -l take Mount off, bring on Foden and Grealish- what else folks?

Yes ( that I've seen, which isn't many)

I wouldn't tar either of them with a brush this bad.

 

[BN41Albion]

So half an hour to go and no changes whatsoever... well done Southgate

 

[swindonseagull]

We never get exciting football to watch like Spain or France...

 

[BN41Albion]

We never get exciting football to watch like Spain or France...

Which is absolutely ridiculous considering our current crop of attacking players

 

[zefarelly]

We seem a bit crap

You sound surprised?

 

[Worried Man Blues]

They're quicker and cleverer, we look like carthorses!

 

[Icy Gull]

Yes ( that I've seen, which isn't many)

I wouldn't tar either of them with a brush this bad.

Only positive for me is that the ref is pretty good
