Very romantic way of looking at it that, outstanding might be pushing it. Beat an average Scotland, good result v the Dutch, squeaked past a not great Spain side then lost to Germany. 

The difference with Euro 96 was about how the team played after the first match. Quick, exciting, attacking… basically going for it.

It felt so much different to that shite tonight

Dodgy disallowed goal for Spain IIRC. What I remember most from that tournament was some outstanding creative football from Gascoigne - who wouldn't get near a Southgate side.

Absolutely. 

 

Look at the defence.

 

We went in to that tournament having not qualified for the World Cup in 94 and being demolished in Euro 92.

Is our defence this World Cup actually that good? Besides a couple of good wing backs

I would worry about some decent players running at them.

Not really. 

 

But under a proper manager, I'd back us to outscore any opposition. 

 

Got to work with what you've got.

 

If it means taking the Keegan at Newcastle approach, so be it.

 

And I'd rather go out like that than not using our attackers to their strengths.

Southgate made it sound like USA are some sort of formidable force there.

 

Then seemed to suggest Wales won’t be the same - expecting an easy game to manage ?

Southgate is very good at that. Bigging up the opposition to explain away his defensive tactics.

Put it this way, no disrespect to USA but they brought on Josh Sargent as a sub, whereas we DIDNT bring on Phil Foden!

A player who plays every game for possibly the best team in the world. Maybe Southgate is saving him

I'm absolutely not defending tonight by the way but I can't buy into the notion we were some sort of irresistible and exciting force in Euro 96.

As we like to say in the States, “Never Forget”

 

Didn't realise doing **** all and then giving it away on the odd occasion you do show for the ball was actually a 'complex tactical job'.

My point was more around the comparison of this squad to that of 96 and you comparing the defences of both. I don't disagree on Southgate and his tactics, I've never been a huge fan really.
