Portugal made 8 changes tbh , England have been poor there's no getting around that mate , with the easiest groupTo be honest, looking at how this group stage has panned out, I don’t think our performances have been *that* bad.
France, Belgium, Italy - 2nd place
Netherlands - 3rd place
Portugal - lost a game
Germany - needed a stoppage time goal to avoid finishing 2nd
The only team to come out best is Spain and they’re rewarded with a tough half of the group! Personally do not think they’ll make the final either.
Our minimum requirements now has got to be the final and anything other than that and this tournament is definitively a failure.
Il be gobsmacked if we don't win SundayI don’t think we will get past Sunday. The camp is not happy
I think for the knockout stage we face the labour party - That's gonna be taxing.

If you think that's tax, you ain't seen nothin yet!
Tough draw for Belgium… 2 matches

What if I were to say that Sunak is probably more optimistic that he will still be in no 10 on the 5th July than England fans have of still being in the Euros on 1st July?Politics free thread please. Managed to completely avoid the election until now
About as good as you could have imagined it to be honest.

Anything short of the final is now failure. I also have my doubts over whether you can be suitably prepared for a big slobberknocker of a final having basically played the ‘fodder’ side of the draw. Although I do think we could easily come unstuck against at least 4 of our side of the draw.

Has the benefit of being true, at least!
There was contact, but he made it look like he trod on a fooking landmine, not got tripped up.That looks a soft penalty for Georgia
I honestly think it’s ruining the group stages at the Euros. To reflect on last nights game, but this applies elsewhere too, Slovenia were happy for a draw even if they finished 3rd place.
In this round of games, Romania and Slovakia both know they’re through irrespective of that happens in the other game.
Ironically, Belgium’s coach is highly regarded and they’re likely to finish second in the only group ranked lower than ours.
They need to go back to 4 groups( tough competition ) , or it has to be 8 (weaker competition )..
Can't have 3rd placed failures going through it's stupid
Realistically, UEFA will only expand it and I’m not against that, but let’s reduce the qualification process because I agree the competition would be weaker.
It’s fundamentally unfair, for example, that the teams in the later groups know exactly what they need to progress so it becomes like a chess match and not in a good way.
It really irritates me that all the weaker teams are happy to have 20-30% possession to force draws. Compare to the World Cup where we battered Wales because they needed a result against us.
It's a country where defenders and goalkeepers really stand out, unlike most other countries.Greatest Italian footballer of All time ?
I think roberto baggio
But it's a tough one and not as straight forward as some countries
Over Maldini?Greatest Italian footballer of All time ?

In terms of ability yes , maldini the greatest left back / defender of all time sure .. it's a tough oneOver Maldini?
