Why would that happen?

I said it tongue in cheek, it isn't going to happen but I'd like it to.

Thanks to @PleaseNotPoll on the spurs board for confirming a recent example:

Ivory Coast sacked their manager after two games of the last AFCON.

They went on to win it.

Someone get on the blower to Ancelloti, see if he fancies a summer job.
 
I think Mainoo will start next match but that may be the only change. If it's a nice team (like Slovakia/Ukraine/etc) then it would be grand to see him try a couple of the other changes (rest Saka, Kane and/or Foden). Some of our players just look tired.

I would add that our defence - which was the big concern going into the tournament - has looked pretty good.

Bellingham looks shattered.

Hasn't really done anything since the opening game.

I'm calling it now.

You'll win the next round against a team you should beat but although slightly improved you still look a little ****, the media hype wakes up. Big team then in the quarter and you win a really good game. It's glory and it's coming home from the media. Semi final and it's a close one VAR ****s you over and it goes to pens Trent misses the deciding pen and X (formerly Twatter) gets the ghost suits out.
 
I'm convinced some people are still watching games on teletext. England are absolutely dreadful!


I’m guessing you’re about 14 and have no inkling of how many different ways England can find to torment their supporters?

A couple of mediocre performances in the knockout stages? This is nothing mate, the real misery comes when we play well and inevitably lose, probably to Germany.

You're reverse-Jinxing us with your anti-England energy.

We're going to limp all the way to the final now and win by an accidental fluke in stoppage time in the final... and we're going to celebrate that fluke for the next 60 years!
