Re: The OFFICIAL English and European Football (soccer) thread

My mistake, just remembering Kane’s miss on his second of the night. It was terrible. Watching the highlights reminded me that England did not get the run of the whistle that game. General points still stand. I’d take Southgate over any of Taylor, Hoddle, Keegan, McLaren, Eriksen, Capello, Big Sam,...

2018 - Southgate got the most he could out of a mediocre squad by the standards of good teams, with goals largely made from set-piece. Remember the love train? Southgate (imo) did that by making them enjoy and be proud to play for England, a contrast to previous cohorts. Still let Croatia into the ...

England were short of Kane and Saka. And Maguire. And Walker and Trippier. And Phillips. From their usual starting XI.

No-one mentioning Shaw. Our balance is f#cked without him. Chilwell just doesn't have it, not brave enough.
