Match Day Thread England v Switzerland

What would Scotland give for a manager with his record?

 

What’s the odds Brady will kid on he wants England to win but will give it the big ‘un if we go behind against the Dutch?

 

Only if england have 0 shots by the 75th min
Make no changes
And then concede

As southgate would deserve it
Otherwise no

Id like england to win as itd have positive effects on the economy and a feel good factor etc

Otherwise im not bothered who wins
I just like watching the games

 

I think he’s got a great record.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we win the whole thing

I don’t mind Roseyball either mind you

 

some time before kane came off, he'd been back for some defensive work, and i noticed he was slightly hobbling. don't know how long he was like that.

 

After defeat last night to England over the weekend the knives are out for the Swiss manager, as well as the screwdriver, the little scissors, the pliers...

 

He needs to be worried about the thing for getting stones out of horses hooves anarl.

 

Piss easy league compared to the premier league though (in my opinion of course). Kane has past his best. A 'striker' would have been on the near post for at least 1 of the 3 crosses put in by Sakha

 

For balance

 

And yet, for all that, it seems to be a failure. Why that should be, after what went before I have no idea, except maybe for overly raised expectations. This tournament has been a bloody painful watch, but here we are, another semi-final.

 

This is what I’ve been saying for years! But people just look at the players & say, we should win it, forgetting that other teams want to stop us & they want to win it too, or at the least, in the case of smaller countries, progress!

 

Thanks to Harry Kane

 

I want England to win this competition but if we do it playing like we have been I’ll be disappointed, it’ll feel pyrrhic to me.

 

As we won’t have suffered devastating losses doing so it will feel like a victory to me. The French have been atrocious but I doubt if their fans will care about that if they win,

 

Very good.

 

Not too bothered about the French tbh, they can think what they want.

 

we're missing maguire on the end of set pieces.

and perhaps southgate's reluctance to discard certain older players helped glue things together helped more in the past than people want to admit.

 

City kept posession in tight spaces last year better than England can .
