Chris cooper Posted 5 July, 2021 Share Posted 5 July, 2021 Everyone at work thinks it’s Italy for us in the final .. I think the Danes have had a decent tournament ..the eriksen scenario seemed to galvanise them.,but I still feel we have so much talent at our disposal we’d scare most teams in the world..I think Spain will do Italy on pens and that ideal situation will play into our hands next Sunday in the final .. 2-0 win over the Danes … Kane double ..and I think 2-1 in the final with our 1st scare conceding 1st ..foden to equalise and Sterling nets the winner in extra time ! it’s coming home lads .. this is our time 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to be a lot of England fans who were born yesterday. Being born in the late 80s the idea of making semi finals and finals and actually turning up to knock out games consistently is remarkable - Southgate is doing a brilliant job, especially compared to his predecessors.

Our performance in this tournament has been much stronger than 2018. We've set the record for the longest run without conceding in European Cup history, beat the Germans and Croatia and thumped Ukraine. I think there was a feeling in 2018 that we'd shown a bit of metal but in general got to the semi through a nice draw, this time we've got there comfortably. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiberalCommunist Posted 6 July, 2021 Share Posted 6 July, 2021 Undoubtedly the most successful England manager for a generation. And I'm really enjoying the journey. But that said, we are still allowed to question his decisions, that does not put us in the 'Southgate out' mob. Why does everything have to be so absolute in 2021? Its like everyone is twitching for a disagreement all the time. ............Cue arguments.......lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only downside, with Saints tinted spec's on, is that JWP isn't going to get a look in for some time now barring injuries. Southgate will have his new midfield favourites (rightly so i suppose) so i'd be surprised if JWP gets close to the starting XI any time soon. Hardly surprising really as JWP is not as good as the players at Euro 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who you lose to seems to affect your reputation. Bobby Robson had a pretty average record as England manager yet has this over inflated reputation. A reputation based solely on losing to Argentina, West Germany & Gazza crying. His Euro record was spectacularly awful, failing to qualify in ‘84 and losing every single game in ‘88.

I thought he was shit but he’s proved me wrong. Despite his poor club record he seems to be a good fit for the National team, I guess his previous England experience helps him and he’s an intelligent guy. Think much of the problem the National side have faced over the years is dealing with the pressure and Southgate seems to have them right in the head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's likely to do with colour-blindness; white and blue easier to differentiate between compared with red and blue. UEFA are pretty big on this: https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/uefaorg/Corepartnership/02/60/10/06/2601006_DOWNLOAD.pdf Imagine both teams will play in home kits tomorrow.

alehouseboys Posted 6 July, 2021 Share Posted 6 July, 2021 (edited) Spain edging this. Extra time for these two will be good for tomorrow's winners, they'll get an extra day's rest so hopefully England match decided in 90 mins (for either side). There's some Mush in a Saints shirt sat in the front row at the Spanish end. Edited 6 July, 2021 by alehouseboys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_D Posted 6 July, 2021 Share Posted 6 July, 2021 Both of these looking a bit leggy/nervous to me, and a bit sloppy as a result. Italy seem to be missing Spinazzola quite a bit, went into this as favourites tonight, but just seem to be missing something. Can see England getting a few chances if we get through to face Spain and they play the same high line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be Spain's 3rd consecutive 120-min game. If they get through to the final they will be spent and there for the taking if we can beat Denmark.

SNSUN Posted 6 July, 2021 Share Posted 6 July, 2021 Italy looking good on the counter attack but Spain have been better this game, they just lack cutting edge up front. Great finish by Chiesa though. Of these two teams I’d rather we came up against Italy in the final. a) Overall in the tournament they deserve it but b) Kane and Sterling coming up against the ageing Bonucci and Chiellini is mouth watering. Disclaimer: IF we make the final, with all respect to Denmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
