I'm bricking it tbh lads

[Christoph]

Southgate and his style of playing reminds me of how Leicester used to play with Puel.

If you accept defeat now its all upside.

[adam]

If he sets up with 7 defensive players we deserve to lose. Why not play to our strengths. We have some of the best attacking players in the tournament and he is gonna leave them all on the bench. Puel out. 

[Ric Flair]

It's essentially an 8-1-1 with Saka as the 8th defender 😂😂😂😂

This afternoon is dragging. I just wanna get on the beers like

Puel would school Southgate

Now let’s just tone it down in here!

We’ve got 120 minutes of scoreless football to kill.

Can’t have anybody getting excited.

Really don’t care if we shithouse our way to a boring 1-0 aslong as we win. Infact I’d happily see us play out boring 1-0 wins if it meant winning the tournament tbf 

Anybody ever think Germany have been an attractive side over the years?? 

Do they get the job done a lot? Yes,

Do they reach a lot of finals and win much? Yes

I'm happy being the new Germany if on 11th July Kane picks the trophy up, 1-0 all the way.  Did we moan when Leicester won 4 games in a row 1-0 in March 2016, hmmm NO

Just win it

I feel I've heard this phrase many times in the past from England fans...

Every tournament mate. We were talking about it before the first game and how people always say it. Within about 30 minutes, everyone in the group had said something along those lines

 

I honestly don't remember being so confident in the attacking options. In the past it's always been we've had top class defenders or top class midfielders, or top class strikers. 

 

Grealish

Foden

Sancho

 

All set to be on the bench. Mental! haha This should have been the summer of George  attacking!

[filbertway]

Not a god damn hint of excitement or tension about this game. Really weird to feel absolutely nothing this close to a tournament game.

He's impersonating Pickford, after flying out on numerous cases every match he plays, he then goes calm down, calm down........

[J.Lisemore]

If other games are to go by, we'll be in auto pilot until Grealish comes on in the 60th min. Only player who can genuinely create chances for us. 

 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Haven't been gutted about England going out of a major tournament since France '98. Every time we've gone out since then we've been very much second best so it's been easy to take. Can't see that changing under Southgate.

[Super_horns]

 

 

No DCL on bench?

 

Let’s hope Kane is good then.

 

Saka is probably in as he can track back better .

WTF

[Super_horns]

Bet Kane gets injured early 

[fazzyfox]

Father - I remember in the 90's when Kuntz played for Germany

 

Son - Nothing's changed then!

 

[Jaspa]

Two right backs and two left backs?

[Tuna]

 

[filbertway]

I swear Germany have changed formation to match up with what we played in the groups and we've changed to match up with what they were playing

 

Edit, just spotted Hummels in the list, I missed him first time. That would have been funny though

Jesus Christ.  I was hoping it wasn't true.  Essentially relying on Saka at 20 to be our saviour.

Since we already have a depression thread I don't think this match warrants its own.

7-2-½ formation.

 

Could be a long 90 minutes
