  1. Announcing Jack and Alvarez and ESR would take the sting off the England loss...
  2. I feel bad for Gareth. He's a good guy and projects a positive image for England. But in the end, he couldn't get out of his own way. A leopard can't change it's spots.
  3. Some really sexy goals scored in this tournament.
  4. Bielsa for the World Cup campaign.
  5. I actually didn't think Italy were the better team on the night. Much better second half, but on rhe whole I think it was pretty even. Just a huge missed opportunity for England to turn the blade after they scored. My standout performer for England in the tournament is Luke Shaw. Hardly put a foot wrong. Lessons learned for all involved, you'd think. Good experience to build on for the World Cup. A more aggressive manager in charge of these players will get England deep into the WC. Who will be that manager?
  6. Ollie Watkins would have been outstanding if given the chance.
  7. People will denounce the stutter step penalties, but it shouldn't have come to penalties. England were bossing the game after the opening goal and could've put the game to bed if they just kept turning the screws. Bringing on Henderson was basically laying out a welcome mat for the Italians to seize the initiative because England weren't going for it at that point.
  8. Because when I saw Saka in tears I immediately knew that he'd get racial abuse on social media. Then I thought about the other guys who missed and did the math. Sorry if the truth is painful to you. It is to me too. Why do black footballers in England get so much racist abuse? That's what you should be concerned with.
  9. Ridiculous. Tyrone Mings gets racially abused repeatedly, as do Rashford, Sterling, etc. Should I assume then that all the people engaging in this abuse are Americans? Absurd statement and I'm baffled that it came from you.
  10. You appear to be conflating what I said with how I secretly feel? Am I actually getting this right? I understand people are wound up right now and I am too, even as a non-English person. But I'd hold steady there, man.
  11. I based my comment on what happens to players in the Premier League.
  12. It's a cynical comment, I totally admit that. But it's cynicism based on what actually happens on social media. This has been an ongoing issue.
  13. It wasn't the first thing that came to mind. Regardless, it will likely happen, because racist idiots seem to live for abusing black footballers.
  14. It was a weak, nervous kick. Poor fella.
  15. Credit to Pickford who did his best to keep it alive. Unbelievable that Southgate would have the kids take those. Southgate was this close to a knighthood and he crumbled.
  16. Rashford, Sancho and Saka with the penalty misses. All the racists will be out in force tonight.
  17. It beggars belief, especially as he didn't do anything in that time.
  18. England a victim of scoring so early with a cautious manager. Should've used the opportunity to knock the ball around and go for a quick second. Totally wasted early goal.
  19. Bottle job by Safegate, which probably shouldn't be a surprise.
  20. This is a different England team. They'll win this.
