[COV]

To be fair, he's got a world Cup trophy that buys him some time

How much time do two semi-finals give you?

[COV]

No penalty there surely

Get it to VAR and rule it out

Never a pen

 

[Tommo1993]

I love a penalty. Remember Gillingham away?

 

[Evo1883]

 

[wingy]

Refs losing it.

 

[Johnnythespider]

That's soft ref

 

[Nick]

Jesus christ that's embarrassing

 

[stupot07]

Never a pen in a million years. VAR has been even worse than in the PL this tournament.

Shocker of a decision that.

[Evo1883]

That's fucking tragic

 

[lifeskyblue]

Good for England.
But if that’s a pen then the game has gone

As it stands it’s Portugal in the next round

 

[clint van damme]

That's a shocking decision

 

[COV]

Same story though- we need a Germany equaliser, that puts them second

I’m assuming most would agree Germany is the least difficult game we could have?

EDIT… scrap that- we need one more France goal, then we’d play Hungary

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

If that’s a penalty we’re not far off it being a non contact sport

Unless France score again. In which case we'd get Hungary if they hold on.

Well he got the nations league after and went out in the groups , and now we are here ... so if were out in the round of 16 he should be gone .

They will keep him until after Qatar anyway

We don't celebrate failure

International management is not the pinnacle of a managerial career anymore. Even the 'qualified' managers in the field are there after poor spells with clubs e.g. Mancini and Luis Enrique.

By every metric, Southgate has outperformed more 'qualified' candidates to manage England. Which goes to show success in club management doesn't necessarily translate to the international management.

Just to clarify, you know my point re Southgate was sarcastic? Think you do from your post, but want to be clear - there’s a few posters I don’t want to be in the same boat as.

 

[Nick]

Mbappe not booked for diving that time?

 

[Grendel]

Hungary are really under the cosh though and I’m not convinced they’ll hold on considering there’s 70 minutes left.

If they do and France win, then it’s a perfect storm.

Even our under qualified, negative (yet twice semi finalist) should be able to put out a team to beat them.

Even when they have qualified against 3 teams we believe are superior to us

Who replaces him if we go out?

 

[Evo1883]

That's not my job to find a replacement , we shouldn't stick because evo1883 can't give you a suitable replacement on the spot on skybluestalk

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Don’t know why people are worried about France, I was told on here this week that half our starting XI would make it in theirs? Surely means it’ll be a 0-0.

 

[Great_Expectations]

The same France that has also scored the same amount of goals as England and a draw against a minnow...

Shouldn't Deschamps get the sack?

Probably the guillotine.

 

[Evo1883]

Ironically, it was me that said half of them WOULD get in their team

As it goes , it was you that said only 2 get in

 

[COV]

In the same way as we shouldn’t “just get rid” because evo demands it on the spot on skybluestalk

portugal are very beatable

 

[Alkhen]

Come on France. 1 more goal from them and Hungary to hold on and we get Hungary at Wembley in the last 16 then if we win that it's either Sweden or Ukraine in the QF

 

[Evo1883]

Yes COV mate , I'm sure the English FA dwell on here and take my opinion of the English national team at face value and base their decisions on it

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Therefore we should be able to give them a good game no? If half our team could make it in.

Then it will be “lucky Southgate yet again”

I think I’m right in saying it was you who said lots of our players would walk into the France team wasn’t it?

 

[Evo1883]

We will give them a good game , but I'm not sure we beat them , we absolutely must be better than we have done in the last 2 matches

 

[COV]

You’re forgetting- Southgate would have us lining up with a 8-1-1 formation and deliberately try to throw the game
