England v Czech Republic Match Thread

[fox_favourite]

Another poor performance from England. Boring and slow performance. Only positive is Saka and few glimpses of Greleash.

 

Bringing Henderpoo on is a joke. We have some of the most talented attacking but we don’t play them or attack?! I don’t get it! Poor management and I think Southgate has to go.

Did TV pictures always be as bad as this, pre HD? 

 

ItV2 is unwatchable. I remember one of our games on Pick TV that was unbearable too..was it that bad in the olden days?

 

Edit..wrong thread!

Oh and singing 3 lions on repeat by drunken idiots should be a criminal offence!

At least there's no England band. That has been the highlight of England's matches for me so far.

1 point in 3 games. Hopefully people will stop saying Scotland are having a good tournament now 

 

I will never, ever, hear the end of them saying they were the better side in that draw.

 

A massive piss up and a draw were their highlights.

Anyone hear Dixon then? “I’m pleased it was Saka and not Sancho cos I’m Arsenal” wtf man very good commentary. Also he said Sancho needs to do more. He hasn’t played a single minute!!

Quality from Saka today. Man of the match along with Phillips, for me.

Let a goal in, running out of time.  

[Livid]

I’m not sure how anyone hasn’t really worked out to pressure Pickford yet, he’s always got one howler in the closet.

The Scots had their cup final and drew nil nil

They've been a better watch than Turkey, Macedonia, Finland and Russia so far though. Didn't disgrace themselves.

It’s been another solid performance by England and I’m not surprised we’ve slowed down in the second half. The Czechs haven’t looked to worry us at all

The question is how much more have we got? When we play a very good side, have we another gear to go up into? 

 

I agree. We haven't been as bad as people make out. We've been fairly solid in all 3 games and look like we could move up a gear if needed. I'm quite optimistic for the knockout stages.

Czechs are happy to come second. We are happy to have our next game at home. Don’t need to over exert ourselves. It’s all about game management. Some people don’t or won’t understand it. I think throughout the tournament we’ve actually looked quite solid at the back. Currently yet to concede. Only Italy have done this so far. Like to look at positives rather than negatives.

At least Scotland had their 0-0 to celebrate 

 

There is a pretty decent chance Croatia and Denmark will be in the quarter finals despite being shite for their first 2 games (understandably for Denmark of course)

Perisic's goal ruined that. Now the Czechs are facing the Netherlands, while Croatia play the runner-ups from Group E.

Edit: Just realised that's not a given either. Oh so confusing with all these possible permutations!

Doubted his selection, but he's been great for us today. 

[StanSP]

Well offside.

Except they're third now.

Exactly. Tonight we’ve just done what we have to do. Those being positive about it would call it ‘a professional performance’. We played ok first half, got the goal, slowed the game down and finish top of the group

Now the tournament starts proper for England I think

Sancho and DCL should be going to see Southgate tomorrow and suggesting they just go home. No point in being there. Especially DCL when the man ahead of you looks unfit and uninterested.

All I've heard on the radio is Kane needs to be given opportunities. Been given them today and he's done nothing

[Sir Shep]

Didn’t know Bellingham is JUST 17 as it’s not been mentioned before!

[LestaAl]

This has been mostly tedious…first two minutes was the peak.

Why English players are not doing shooting ? Shooting is a very powerful force. The goalkeeper can knock and another player can complete it.. Also, if you don't shoot any , the game is not very exciting. As far as I know, English players used to like to shooting in the past and matches were very exciting.

Gazi Giray for England manager I say

Anyone know how Saka got on in his exams?
