    I’d like to see us go back to that all out attack style that Gareth started with. We didn’t win anything but came close and it was good to watch.

    My mate who works in a hospital laundry would have to graft for 20 years to earn what Kane gets in a week.

    My word.

    This game has 1-0 Italy all over it.

    Spain could be out of sight with the chances they’ve had

    I stopped watching midway through the first period, so boringly one-sided.

    Have the greaseball Ities waved the white flag yet?

    Spain the much better team, just missed too many chances.

    Italy going for it a bit more in the last 5 minutes now

    We need to play Mainoo or Wharton in the middle to add some energy. Gordon out on the left would be decent. Watkins in for Kane. Freshen up the team for Slovenia. If not, we will be out in the last 16.

    Southgate says we miss Kalvin Phillips. Deary me.

    Is anyone betting on when Gareth Southgate quits or is sacked?

    If friends of Southgate remarkably make money betting on it, will Sir Beer Korma demand they are prosecuted for breaking no laws at all? He might be in Downing Street by then.

    England played Pepball for 30 minutes in the first game, scored and then did bugger all. In the Denmark game they were rubbish and were lucky to get a draw. Only Southgate cannot figure out how to play with a squad full of attacking players, virtually no defenders and his pet defender not even in the squad. Even Alan Shearer could do a better job and he is a Geordie.

    Football won’t be coming home as the European Championship does not feature the original country that kicked a ball...

    Sad to see. A very small minority though. I’ve seen plenty of videos of the Scottish and English fans mixing and drinking together in Germany.

    That doesn’t make good press, though.

    Southgate will be gone within 48 hours of us being dumped out of the tournament.

    I enjoyed the Belgium v Romania match. Some lovely football on show, especially from KDB. I like Doku, but his final ball is lacking somewhat. Lukaku had another goal disallowed - that's three in the first two matches.

    All teams have played 2 games, groups start to conclude as of tomorrow. England's group, C, will be the 4th to be concluded. Ideally, Scotland draw with Hungary and neither of Croatia and Albania beat Spain or Italy then we can watch without any fear of being knocked out. Of course, topping the group would tend to be preferable.
