Bryan Robson after 25 seconds.

Oh ****ing yes. The days when England meant something.

Rushed home from school (10 minute walk, then a bus and then a 5 minute walk) to watch it and was well pleased I only missed the first minute only to find I missed the first goal <laugh>

Was that the world cup where we were knocked out without losing?
 
Gareth Southgate says England's performance in their defeat by Italy was "a step in the right direction" despite the Three Lions being relegated to the Nations League's second tier.

England are without victory in five games for the first time since June 2014 following the 1-0 loss in Milan.

They have also failed to score a goal from open play in 495 minutes.

"It's difficult for me to be too critical of the performance," said England manager Southgate.

"We had more possession, more shots, more shots on target. For large parts of the game we played very well," he added.

It was just a stupid team to pick and the formation was equally as ridiculous.

Dier is ****
Maguire is ****
Saka is a joke, I mean what does that kid actually do?
Bellingham isn’t ready either
Grealish has turned into a Love Island piss can

Another generation will be wasted by the woke as **** FA
 
Trouble is with Southgate, he's typical of many managers that don't like change, like the supporters favourite players sometimes, that can do no wrong. I don't know if it's a British thing of just football managers in general.

Ten Hag demonstrated what needed doing when he dropped Maguire, ok he came back, but the message is you play football my way. Whereas Southgate's way is I haven't got a clue but you're a good bunch of lads.

Taking another one from Tel's list, Grealish, to me he's just another Bradley Dack, but will never make being a George Best.
 
Wasn't it because 24 teams qualified for the final tournament ?

Just a wild guess so could be wrong.
probably but then why would yo arrange to have a non dividable by 2 number of teams qualify in the first place other wise you end up with the likes of England going through to the next round having come 3rd of a 4 including Wales and Iceland .

Saka is a mystery like, needs to be played now cos everyone was racist against him. Think if he wellied every single ball into the stratosphere for 90 minutes everyone would be like "man, that kid has power, fantastic from him"
