Re: The OFFICIAL English and European Football (soccer) thread
James was outside of Walker in those two matches, yeah. For the Euros, it was 4 at the back. And Rice and Phillips were starting every game, yes. So the two holding mids. Even against Scotland. Southgate was a defender... I guess it's innate for him to load the defence. But what good club side play...

Re: The OFFICIAL English and European Football (soccer) thread
Just looking…… So draw against Germany and loss against Italy last year was 3-4-3. It was Rice and Bellingham in MF for both. So….Bellingham does everything we can’t really call him a “holding midfielder”. Depends on his role on the day I guess He seems to only play this formation when he has Reece...

Re: The OFFICIAL English and European Football (soccer) thread
It is their weakness, for sure. Southgate sort of mitigates this with two holding (or one holding and one energy) midfielders. They’re protected well. If there was Van Dijk and Saliba with Allison in goal. Would he play two holding midfielders? He has played 3 at the back as well.. did he have two ...

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 ...

Re: All Blacks 2024
There are not too many significantly experienced test players at Razor's disposal. After Papali'i, Akira is the most experienced NZ test loose forward so that might be in his favour. More likely is both Savea and Papali'i will both be starters due to the experience factor. There are a few 50 plus A...

Re: The OFFICIAL English and European Football (soccer) thread
At least no one missed the target. Made the goalie save it at least.
The Poles just belted it every time (apart from Lewandowski, who caressed it) to the goalie's right. Quite impressive.
