Post-Match Thread and Ratings England 0 - 0 Slovenia - UEFA Euro 2024 - Group Stage 25 June

[RHB]

The last of our 3 group games and an opportunity for the team to show all England supporters that we have a team/squad worthy of going all the way to the final. After the first two games that will be a tall order, but as I have said numerous times, successive England teams have only got better the furthewr they go in a tournament.

I'm going for a 3-0 England victory and a small step towards acceptable performance redemption.

It's a free hit so we may as well go for it, a big victory would lift both the fans' and the squad's morale.

England might come out swinging tonight, maybe a 2-0 win for the 3 Lions.

Score first..think we will win 2 or 3 nil...if they score first,all bets are off

Going to be the first game I've watched with England playing and I'd imagine it's going to he a snorefest. 1-0 England

That Own Goal chap is still knocking ‘em in!

Brave from Southgate, really pushing the boat out with the change of system

 

[southendkid]

Win this and we won't meet any of Germany, Portugal, Spain or France until the final. We wouldn't meet Austria until the semi final either (who are my dark horses to win). As poor as we've been there's a serious chance to go far in the Euros if we win today (although Switzerland look dangerous, we'd meet either them or Italy in the quarters) .

According to the German tv experts...they say the game that England will play will be the very same as Serbia,Danes game.s
They say,the players are good enough..but its the game plan from England..Always the same...in other words..Southgate is the biggest problem.
Hope they are wrong...but will take a s&&t 1-0 win at this moment.
CUMON ENGLAND

Honestly thought with the pressure off we'd be better, but if anything we're worse.

 

[Cricko]

We don't have a clue it's just pedestrian.

 

[Holy Joe]

Game really livened up now

 

[Cricko]

We need to play deeper.

 

[southendkid]

I've defended Southgate in past tournaments but it's abundantly clear why he's used the lack of Kalvin Phillips as an excuse for our bad performances. Without a proper DM Southgate doesn't have a clue what to do. Although saying that Rice should surely be able to fill that role.

 

[hlane17]

Does Rice know what a forward pass is?

 

[kaymac]

Utter cr*p! What does Rice add to the side?

 

[amsemp]

Anyone know why we are soooooo ****?

 

[ozzie]

Think Gallagher could come off,its all been so poor again
