Euro 2020, who's watching?

[samale]

Definitely not the team I would go for.

I was hoping Henderson would be ready for a start, and would have played at least one of the 2 Germany-based lads.

Sancho hasn't got a look in

Sancho hasn't got a look in

Looks to have had a very good season for Dortmund as well, definitely something a bit odd about his exclusion - Southgate said he wanted to protect the inexperienced players when asked about it but has used both Bellingham and Saka who are both younger than Sancho.

I don't think he trusts him to do the defensive work.

Isn’t that what the back 7 are for

 

[Benfleet Brewery]

The only way that could be more defensive would be to play two goalkeepers!

That's what Spain are doing for their next match...

 

[Cheshire Cat]

We have a crop of exciting young attackers and they don't get picked very strange.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

If he played the exciting young attackers and we got slaughtered everyone would be saying why did the useless git play all those young attackers and leave us wide open at the back, he cannot win whatever team he puts out as there is always someone who will pull it to bits.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I wish we were wearing those red shirts.

7 defensive players

I think having watched the first 5 minutes Gareth got it right.

14 goals yesterday

 

[cushyno]

England shaky to start but turned it around to have a better period of possession and a few chances. Kept pressing once the front 4 had it, but always going backwards with the defensive 7. Germany somewhat disorganised but looking to capitalise on long balls through the middle.
Can't call this one.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Stirling starts the move and finishes it 1 - 0 England.

 

[marshbrewer]

Even the cynical part of me has to admit that was a tidy goal.

GOAL - England 1-0 Germany
75 mins
Raheem Sterling
England strike first! Wembley erupts!
Jack Grealish is involved, spreading the ball wide to Luke Shaw, whose low ball is superb - bang on the money for England's chief goalscorer.
Time stands still, the country freezes, and Sterling side-foots in. Cue bedlam!

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Raheem Sterling nearly ****** it there, nearly hero to zero in a few minutes.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Get in Harry you proved me and a lot of England fans wrong.






GOAL - England 2-0 Germany
Harry Kane
86 mins
AND THAT, MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS, IS THAT!
It's sweet, so, so sweet. England have space to attack and they do it with aplomb. Jack Grealish is found wide left and his cross is perfect for Harry Kane to head in.]
He's waited and waited and has timed his moment to absolute perfection.

7 defensive players

Saka deserves his start. Hard to drop sterling after scoring but I would start Jack grealish

Back 3 and two holding centre mids, so negative. Grealish had to start. We're doomed, doomed I tell yee.

The only way that could be more defensive would be to play two goalkeepers!

I am not Southgate's greatest fan (i have said so in the thread) but all credit to him for sticking to his plan.

I hope the anti Sterling lot will now shut the **** up.

 

[Brew_DD2]

Sterling is England's best player by some distance.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Good win i love it, is Grelish only fit to play 30 minutes cos every time he come's on England go up a gear
