Stones and Kane embarrassing

You get ice cream at the end of it, don't you?

I did, but I couldn't eat it

 

[fatso]

Had a great night watching the game with these ardent Slovenia fans

 

[no_loyalty]

When it got us to the final?

QF in the last major tournament.

 

[The Great Eastern]

You get ice cream at the end of it, don't you?

And then forced to eat fresh cornflakes in the morning to scrape away the operation scabs. Still muchly preferable to watching that crap from England in this tournament.

 

[MalcSB]

I don't understand this whole victim thing.

You've been absolutely shit all tournament, after fucking up against Iceland, and the first thing you do is get defensive and upset because the country feels that what you're producing isn't good enough.

Just fuck off.

Stones - “tough to play with a target on our back, everyone wants to beat us”.
isnt that the point of competitive sport?

Is that true about the cornflakes?

 

[oscillatewildly]

QF in the last major tournament.

Against the eventual (close) winners.

 

[The Great Eastern]

Is that true about the cornflakes?

Certainly was when I had mine taken out when I was 50. Very painful but had to be done.

 

[oscillatewildly]

It is pants and I'm certainly not wumming, but please, some perspective?

 

[Evo1883]

Well we've got the gift of the piss easy side of the draw again so

Very loser interview.

If that's the mindset we're going nowhere.

What perspective is there? How can u be confident playing a knockout team based on what we’ve been served up the last 3 games

 

[Evo1883]

There's alot of problems with the performances, so many infact that it's hard to work out how we sort it out , we've had the easiest group and finished top because the Danes couldn't finish their dinner .

I'm quietly confident(ish)

 

[HadjiChippo]

If those players (In Stones’ words) “left everything out there” then we are certainly in trouble if that’s their “everything”

 

[skybluecam]

Well we've got the gift of the piss easy side of the draw again so

maybe but could well be playing the Netherlands. Don’t fancy us to win that one.

Like the French and like the Dutch and like the Portuguese and like the Italians.....

Southgate says we are playing in a strange environment

They didn't - I's just pressurised response in interview.
So if anything, it goes in our favour that we do have more for the next phase.

 

[Evo1883]

Like the French and like the Dutch and like the Portuguese and like the Italians.....

All looked better than England tbh , besides the Dutch , but their group with France and Austria was far harder than ours

 

[oscillatewildly]

Southgate says we are playing in a strange environment

We are - This is Europe and we left 6 years ago.

 

[SBAndy]

Why can’t Southgate just come out and say it wasn’t good enough? I’m not talking digging out individuals but no one could have watched that and been satisfied.

 

[rondog1973]

What the fucks he babbling on about with his 'chances created' bullshit?

 

[Evo1883]

Southgates bottom lip pisses me off

 

[Matt smith]

Sooner the proper football starts the better

who does it look like we’ll play on Sunday?

 

[wingy]

Southgate says we are playing in a strange environment

F**k me they've only put up with it for a week,try six!!

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

Southgate is the longest serving manager since Alf Ramsey with more minor games and friendlies than you can shake a stick at to try out players and formations....

...but still he turns up experimenting with ropey defenders in midfield and no plan when (if) we go 1-0 up...

 

[fatso]

We were playing fucking Slovenia

We both got we needed.
They parked the bus and qualified
We topped the group and qualified.

Was it pretty to watch, no

But it's not how you start the tournament, it's how you finish.

And if Denmark had scored we’d have finished second.
Why the fuck would he be happy with a draw

Slovenia didn't try and beat us. Wanted a nil-nil and got one. Not good enough to break teams down. Not new football for many of these players when lower teams park the bus away from home.

 

[Frostie]

It is pants and I'm certainly not wumming, but please, some perspective?

For me the problem is I can't actually see what we're trying to do.
In previous tournaments, although not always pretty, I could see a plan, a style of play, an end goal where 'once it clicks' etc. we'd be a decent bet.

Now, I have no idea what the plan is. Chuck your best XI players on the pitch & hope they work things out for themselves?

 

[Liquid Gold]

We’re a semi final team at least.

once someone finally attacks us we’ll destroy them.

Not sure I can get behind that. We look so poor on the ball.
