Jimmy_D Posted 3 July, 2021 Share Posted 3 July, 2021 What a performance! Biggest Euros win in our history! Best defensive showing in the history of the Euros! No other team has gone five without conceding! So England... time to actually turn this promise into results. Semi-final will start at 0-0, this means nothing there now. Time to reset and prepare to put this sort of performance in against Denmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted 3 July, 2021 Share Posted 3 July, 2021 (edited) Any team that gets to the semi-final of a huge knock-out tournament has a real chance of winning it because 25% at worst is still good odds. I accept it's the same for the other three teams but, remarkably, you haven't conceded any. The lack of conceding goals seems significant to me. I really don't know anything about football but I think a $10 bet on England to win the final is worth it. Edited 4 July, 2021 by Jeremy Pompous wording.

He could go with a 3 again to match them up like against Germany. If we go 433. That right side is a variable. We could see Sancho, Foden, or Saka over there but either of them will cause Maehle and Vestergaard problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a level of calm control - in squad selection, in team selection, in game management - that has never happened under any England manager in my lifetime. There is an eerie pragmatic efficiency that is quite frankly not normal for England. We won easily yesterday without the talisman/poster boy/great hope even stepping onto the pitch. I guess the only thing we haven't faced is adversity yet, but that's because we haven't conceded a single flipping goal. So why would we. It's another world.

LiberalCommunist Posted 4 July, 2021 Share Posted 4 July, 2021 Its kinda surreal that after decades of watching the international team flounder and fail, while blowing millions on the cream of top european managers, we now have a Gareth, who seemingly just picks some random formation with a splattering of primed players & gets the perfect response. I don't know where this magic came from, or when it will end. But I'm really bloody enjoying it! Dare to dream, it my well be coming home........

Billy the Kidd Posted 4 July, 2021 Share Posted 4 July, 2021 (edited) I think if Saka is fit he will play as I think he can be more disciplined defensively, which we may need with their LB. Edited 4 July, 2021 by Billy the Kidd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know England have had decent players in the past that never performed at tournaments. Don’t what cause was but Southgate has clearly made them relaxed. Probably only Kane would be huge miss if got injured/suspended as so much cover in the squad. To win so easily and not calling on Grealish or Foden says it all.

S-Clarke Posted 4 July, 2021 Share Posted 4 July, 2021 Great showing from the first min to the last, didn't expect it to be that easy. Sancho improved our attack ten-fold, committing players and opening up space with intelligent runs etc. Never really seen much of him, but he does look one heck of a player. My player of the tournament has to be Shaw, he is assisting goals whilst defending astutely. He looked a little out of sorts in the wing back role against Germany to start with, but he adjusted. From a rather tepid group stage, it has all come to life at the right time. If we play against Denmark as we did in the 2nd half yesterday, then they will not stand a chance. What an opportunity this is by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
