To me, Saints are FAR more important I’m just a bit disappointed when England don’t play well, I want to be ENTERTAINED for gods sake! Even if we lose
Oh massively. I'm invested in Saints in a way I just don't feel with England. I wish I did, but I don't. If there were Saints players playing for England it would be easier...
Saints definitely more important to me as it's a constant and I invest time and money into it. I don't watch non tournament England games anymore. I think I'd prefer England to win a trophy though and prefer international football as a whole. I love the way it brings people together and you can't beat the hype and buzz around an international tournament. If we were to win one though any subsequent wouldn't feel the same though imo. Saints > England International football > Domestic football
Exactly this. We don’t often get ti say the very best players are ours, so when we do it is really disappointing they play even less in incisive football than Saints!
Nerves starting to kick in now. Glad we're the early game. Wish I could say I had high optimism here but sadly I don't. Think we'll see more of the same but the Swiss will be good enough to punish us. My one positive thought is that if we go to back 3 I think we're quite likely to keep a clean sheet. Come on England FFS. This could be the day our tournament gets going and we'll regret forever if we **** it up.
It'll be a game of two halves plus extra time and penalties if necessary. After which the team who scores the most goals wins.
I'm pretty confident we'll progress. The suggestion that we're moving to 5-2-2-1 (or something akin to that) should him massively.
Lots of reports it's a different system; 3 at the back with Saka as a LWB But if that's true, I don't get why it's Trippier over TAA for RWB
I'm not going to start the blame game, but if we get knocked out, just remember it happened under a Labour government
I reckon early England goal. Miss loads of chances. Switzerland equalise in final 20 then nick a winner in extra time.
I did say a back 3 would make me feel more positive and he's gone with it so let's see! Really like the look of that team tbf and the balance looks loads better. I'd have had TAA in though.
