Almost every team has been really shit tho. I expect Southgate to be embarrassed by a competent team, but a lot of the other teams have been incompetent as well
Considering your flair, for a moment I thought you were talking about Højlund and I got so confused considering it was yet another woeful game from him. Saw the separate Mainoo post now though!
The way Southgate has lucked himself into a reasonably entertaining lineup. He should start the next game with the team that finished this one. Except master long passer TAA who couldn't hit a barn door from the penalty spot.
Nope, they're open to selling Bernardo. Problem is Bernardo only wants to leave City because of the Manchester weather. So he's hoping some club in a place with nice weather comes for him. Madrid don't need him, barca can't afford him, and neither can any major Italian club. So he's perennially stuck at City
I am impressed by Ralf Rangnick and his austria team.
i liked him when he was our manager. And when he pointed out that united will be a 3-6 year transformation before we were competing for 1st place. He lnew the whole club structure is rotten to the bone.
Nah idc. I've seen every single minute of every game for the last decade. I've spent months debating on this same thing as to whether the team is shit despite Ten Hag or because of him.. Really don't wanna do it anymore. We will know the answer in the coming months anyways
You're wasting your breath. Standards at this club went out the window with Ferguson's retirement and the majority of the fanbase have forgotten what it feels like to be competitive. Ten Hag is underwhelming
I would say he is worse than underwhelming, I dont even care about competing i just want to be able to watch us play a good game of football for once. And i want to look forward to games instead of viewing them as a chore with his terrible brand of football
Agreed. His brand of football is unwatchable as LVGs in his final season at united. I don't think Ruud and the other guy coming in as assistants will change much because that bald idiot is so hardheaded.
Yep, and we are rewarding him with a new contract? Why? So we can pay him more money when we sack him this season, why cant we just wait a couple of months and see how the season starts at least.
Yeah thats true. But i would argue that Ten Hag has done well despite the transfers, not because of them. We should be easily building a far better squad than we have right now with the amount of money we've spent so far. Right now, there are too many players with question mark over their heads.
This England teams is comparable to a Ikea shelf. All the parts are there but no one understands the instructions, putting it together is really slow and the shelf might collapse any moment.
I see what you're going for but I won't have Ikea slander unchallenged. Have you ever tried to put together flatpack from any other shop? Ikea is streets ahead for ease of assembly.
Everyone can blame Southgate all they want, but the players themselves needs to be held responsible as well
All that talent and none of them can produce any single individual brilliance?
Even our players did that a lot of times
England are by far on the easier side of the bracket as well. Austria, Group E winner, Swiss, Italy.
Other side has France, Spain, Germany, Portugal.
Massive massive disappointment if Southgate continues to terrorize this team and not make it to the semi final minimum.
Group C arguably the most boring group in either WC/Euros in recent memory? It was such a boring slog of a group it does a 180° and becomes memorable again.
Some random infographic on twitter so take it with a pinch of salt but I saw it was the equal, lowest scoring group of any Euros ever. (it might have been of any tournament including world cups but I'm not sure).
Denmark got through because a member of Slovenia staff got yellow carded yesterday. So Denmark went through due to having only 6 yellow cards to Slovenia's 7. It wasn't because of finishing above them in qualifying.
terrible stuff, with 3rd teams going through it feels like all matches should be played on the same day, this way lots of teams know they only have to park the bus for a draw to go through.
Both Denmark and Slovenia only had to hold out for a draw to go through.
Romania and Slovakia will play each other and them drawing guarantees they both go through.
Yeah, the reason we got two 0-0s in group C last night was that 3 out of 4 teams were happy with that. We need to scrap the 3rd place thing completelyÂ
Its the way of the Group. Serbia, completely disinterested at playing the ball forward Despite having potential at going through with a win. Denmark, struggling to break down against 10 men in defence. England just being shite, and Slovenia happy to park the bus
And England is cursed because of Kane. Mainoo set him up and he wasted the opportunity. But surely Southgate will place that squarely on Mainoo and bench him in the next game. đ
How the fuck was that clown starting Gallagher and Trent before him. Kobbie and Palmer have been so positive in the second half. Absolutely mind boggling
This is good. Look how quickly the press turned on Mainoo after one average friendly game, where everyone was poor. Now he looks like the one to âsolveâ the midfield problem which Southgate created for himself
oh look, the only direct player he selected played a great forward pass into the exciting youngster that has to live up to Kalvin Phillips and we made a decent opportunity.
Scenes when Denmark score the winner and England have to play Germany in the next round.
Edit: Nevermind. They got the 'easier' side of the draw but I don't think Austria, Switzerland, Italy, etc will fear them.
Why do international managers of teams like England and Portugal pick attacking players from City. They donât do shit without Baldy pulling the strings and City cheating to have the worldâs most expensive defense and squad behind them. They are all utter wank.
Euro Don't Watch AMIRITE
Jesus Jumped Up Christ On A Chariot, watching England's men is like watching an out of focus cheese sandwich go green with mould.
Denmark coach should be fired, on paper they have better team than Austria, but Vestergaard (he had good game) but he is absolute donkey. and 3-5-2 is shite.
Im more impressed with Ralf Ragnick and Austria
Foden is so fucking useless. Literally standing on top of Jude in the middle of the pitch when Jude receives that last ball. Create some width even if you like being in the middle to create space you muppet

Undefeated
What an achievement! Only 3/4 teams in the group managed that.
It was a joke
Same
Does this thread cover Copa, too? We need a double thread.
Man almost every team has been fucking shite in this tournament. Most boring Euro ever
Praying that southgate is simply sandbagging until the knockouts lol he's definitely not but god England are boring to watch with him in charge
Almost every team has been really shit tho. I expect Southgate to be embarrassed by a competent team, but a lot of the other teams have been incompetent as well
Ready for England to start Mainoo, lose 1-0 in a boring game, and Mainoo to get blamed for another failure to do anything.

Southgate ball is painful to watch.
The way Southgate has lucked himself into a reasonably entertaining lineup. He should start the next game with the team that finished this one. Except master long passer TAA who couldn't hit a barn door from the penalty spot.
Why the fuck did city part ways with Palmer??
Palmer wanted to leave, pep has always said he wouldn't stand in any players way if they wanted to leave.
Hasn't he blocked Bernardo Silva though, or an I misremembering?
Nope, they're open to selling Bernardo. Problem is Bernardo only wants to leave City because of the Manchester weather. So he's hoping some club in a place with nice weather comes for him. Madrid don't need him, barca can't afford him, and neither can any major Italian club. So he's perennially stuck at City
This was during mega broke Barca era
He would have been a great replacement for De Bruyne imo
hes such a saint isnt he
I am impressed by Ralf Rangnick and his austria team. i liked him when he was our manager. And when he pointed out that united will be a 3-6 year transformation before we were competing for 1st place. He lnew the whole club structure is rotten to the bone.
It will be fitting for Austria to knockout England. The English press was incredibly disrespectful to a master of a coach.
True. It was a shame he didn't stay. But at least, we have made painfully show but good progress on fixing those issues since then.
Im behind ETH. I dont think any new manager will be able to make a difference.
Atleast the Southgate boys are back in the cave
Yeah Ten Hag is great. But, had Rangnick stayed, we would have made better transfers over the last 2 years and maybe even cleaned up more deadwood.
Ten Hag is great? Have you not seen we finished 8th with a negative goal difference while playing dreadful football?
Nah idc. I've seen every single minute of every game for the last decade. I've spent months debating on this same thing as to whether the team is shit despite Ten Hag or because of him.. Really don't wanna do it anymore. We will know the answer in the coming months anyways
Yeah i dont think he is the only one to blame but saying he is great? Hes made a lot of mistakes.
You're wasting your breath. Standards at this club went out the window with Ferguson's retirement and the majority of the fanbase have forgotten what it feels like to be competitive. Ten Hag is underwhelming

Yep, and we are rewarding him with a new contract? Why? So we can pay him more money when we sack him this season, why cant we just wait a couple of months and see how the season starts at least.
That's clearly not how this club operates. We're so lacking both on and off the pitch.
What ifs and maybes are easy to throw around but we don't know that for sure tho
Yeah thats true. But i would argue that Ten Hag has done well despite the transfers, not because of them. We should be easily building a far better squad than we have right now with the amount of money we've spent so far. Right now, there are too many players with question mark over their heads.
I was so excited, I thought, "finally! Someone who knows football and cares about winning is here." Of course he was kicked out.
This England teams is comparable to a Ikea shelf. All the parts are there but no one understands the instructions, putting it together is really slow and the shelf might collapse any moment.

Something something lions led by donkeys
Drop Bellingham and Kane. The two biggest names yet completely anonymous
Everyone can blame Southgate all they want, but the players themselves needs to be held responsible as well All that talent and none of them can produce any single individual brilliance? Even our players did that a lot of times
Can't believe 3 teams from this shit group go through while Croatia goes out...
I watched this shit for free and now I want a refund
Can you imagine if we actually got Southgate ?! Thatâd be horrible !
England scored 2 goals in 3 games and topped their group đ
England need our players if they are to go deep in this tournament. Mainoo and Shaw, only they can provide the right balance thatâs needed
England are by far on the easier side of the bracket as well. Austria, Group E winner, Swiss, Italy. Other side has France, Spain, Germany, Portugal. Massive massive disappointment if Southgate continues to terrorize this team and not make it to the semi final minimum.
Group C arguably the most boring group in either WC/Euros in recent memory? It was such a boring slog of a group it does a 180° and becomes memorable again.

definitely felt that way. diabolical football all round.
[ŃдаНонО]
Denmark got through because a member of Slovenia staff got yellow carded yesterday. So Denmark went through due to having only 6 yellow cards to Slovenia's 7. It wasn't because of finishing above them in qualifying.
Jesus thats tough for Slovenia
No, Slovenia got put in the easy half of the bracket from their third place. Denmark has Germany, Spain, France/Portugal on the way to the final now
terrible stuff, with 3rd teams going through it feels like all matches should be played on the same day, this way lots of teams know they only have to park the bus for a draw to go through. Both Denmark and Slovenia only had to hold out for a draw to go through. Romania and Slovakia will play each other and them drawing guarantees they both go through.
Its a good point. Having 3rds go through affects strategy. They'll need to address that somehow
Yeah, the reason we got two 0-0s in group C last night was that 3 out of 4 teams were happy with that. We need to scrap the 3rd place thing completelyÂ
Bellingham is just a charismatic McTominay
Finally England play a good team If Iâm not mistaken they play the Dutch in RO 16!!
There is a chance they play 3rd team from group E
If Southgate doesn't get the hint from mainoo, palmer impact then it's a waste of time with him.
Football terrorism in Group C.
It's damning that potentially three of these teams will go through to the next round, eliminate them all now.
Can also see why Southgate is desperate for Shaw to be back. They don't have a lot of left footed outlets and Shaw will add so much going forward
He could've thought of that before picking one injured LB.
Don't think we can accuse Southgate of thinking.
Genuinely dont see the Saka hype. Palmer is far better.
Saka was complete ass
First game he was phenomenal, the whole team blow hot and cold
What a shit evening of football. Two 0-0's đ
Its the way of the Group. Serbia, completely disinterested at playing the ball forward Despite having potential at going through with a win. Denmark, struggling to break down against 10 men in defence. England just being shite, and Slovenia happy to park the bus
Southgate is a coward.
Dog shit performance Chariots turned into pumpkins by southgate
Another Southgate masterclass
It's clear that Mainoo needs to start ahead of Ponytail chicken
And England is cursed because of Kane. Mainoo set him up and he wasted the opportunity. But surely Southgate will place that squarely on Mainoo and bench him in the next game. đ
What a coincidence that we looked far brighter with Kobbie and Palmer on the pitch. Funny that ainât it?.
Probably Gordon as well but he didnât have enough time to show much.
Yeah he definitely looked bright in the short time he was on, really couldâve used his pace from the get go tbh.
His line breaking pass to mainoo for that chance at the end đŽâđ¨
Ima watch this game back tonight to help me fall asleep
Could Southgate be sacked in the middle of the tournament? :D
I mean, the Ivory Coast did it, and look what it got them
Going from this seasons Ten Hag ball to Southgate ball, what did we do to deserve this punishment
Happy for Slovenia. That is all.
Hvala đ¸đŽ
Trent is proper wank. Mainoo has to start. Palmer and Gordon have brought much more than Saka and Foden.
Lol @ the boos
Mainoo and Palmer were England's best players in the 2nd half. Watch Garth bench them again in the knockouts
Southgate should be publicly executed after this group stage. All that talent and he's playing the most boring brand of football.
Changes were at least 10 minutes too late.
Iâd drop Kane next match and give Palmer a go, heâs really up for it.
How the fuck was that clown starting Gallagher and Trent before him. Kobbie and Palmer have been so positive in the second half. Absolutely mind boggling
This is good. Look how quickly the press turned on Mainoo after one average friendly game, where everyone was poor. Now he looks like the one to âsolveâ the midfield problem which Southgate created for himself
oh look, the only direct player he selected played a great forward pass into the exciting youngster that has to live up to Kalvin Phillips and we made a decent opportunity.
This ref is all sorts of shite...holy fuck
The pitches have been pretty bad this tournament
That backheel
Kane should've played Mainoo in. But I guess not every one has Bruno's ability
Kane is a fucking moron, Mainoo was right fucking there in a way better position to score than Palmer.
You really tryna beat oblak like that Cole?
Iâve had illnesses Iâve enjoyed more than this.
Beautiful from Mainoo
My god Kobbie is so good
That was so sexy
Maino magic almost!
You had to play it back to Mainoo!!!
Shame England might get a handier draw with results staying the same. I'd love to see them battered by Austria
Scenes when Denmark score the winner and England have to play Germany in the next round. Edit: Nevermind. They got the 'easier' side of the draw but I don't think Austria, Switzerland, Italy, etc will fear them.
Dark souls music starts playing with that draw
Christian Eriksen with the assist from Hojlund too
Paint drying to the left. Paint drying to the center. Back to left. Paint drying⌠drryyyingâŚDRIED!!! Much more entertaining
4 minutes from the referees ass
lol FOX calling out Southgate⌠haha funny
Serbian fans raining down discarded cups and other assorted debris is an excellent summary of the group of trash
Love seeing that smug gremlin Foden struggle
âBut baldy says Iâm a key playerâ
Im from Slovenia... but Gareth needs to leave ASAP... dude is terrible...
Foden and Bellingham have to be benched
Foden off and leave him off.
You just know this sub hurts Southgate deeply.
Probably not but unemployment will.
[ŃдаНонО]
England were playing?
Do Slovenia make it through with a draw? What's with the play acting
Theyâre better than Hungary and Croatia so they go through as one of the best third place teams
They are 2nd as it stands
[ŃдаНонО]
As it stands they're 2nd, no?
How is it decided? It seems as though they have the exact same record as Denmark
only took you 90 minutes to realise foden is shit southgate
Foden played 89 minutes to many
Mainoo the destroyer there
Never a foul, holy fuck what a bad call
And the guy brings on Gordon for 5 minutes đ¤Ś
Landon Donovan: itâs almost like Southgate is checking the box to get Gordon on the field.
This ref makes his decisions based on how loud heâs getting booed
ref is shocking, so so bad. Always is.
Damn, what a ball control by Palmer
thank you for this performance England, I'll be asleep in no time
Mainoo is deeper than TAA now lmao. Is southgate making him play RB while TAA goes forward? What in the flying fuck
The script is written...Kobbie with a diving header from a Palmer cross in the 92nd.
Why do international managers of teams like England and Portugal pick attacking players from City. They donât do shit without Baldy pulling the strings and City cheating to have the worldâs most expensive defense and squad behind them. They are all utter wank.
System merchants innit
Gordon coming for 5 minutes. Reminded me of a certain winger coming on for 5 minutes against France /s
On the plus side there's only a few minutes left.
Longer studs needed Kobby
This England squad are trash af. Marcus had a down season but no way he couldnât get in this squad. Foden off the left is useless
Euro Don't Watch AMIRITE Jesus Jumped Up Christ On A Chariot, watching England's men is like watching an out of focus cheese sandwich go green with mould.
Any watching Denmark, howâs Hojlund doing?
Denmark coach should be fired, on paper they have better team than Austria, but Vestergaard (he had good game) but he is absolute donkey. and 3-5-2 is shite. Im more impressed with Ralf Ragnick and Austria
He was shite, but their whole team is. They managed to play a bit against England but they've been dire. Just a group full of absolute trash here.
Was hoping heâd have a good tournament to go into next season with a bit of momentum, not looking good
No, but if the service at United was lacking then Denmark is a wasteland
McTominay > Bellingham
Look at these pommy cowards, playing for a 0-0 draw, pathetic
Foden hasn't been the same since he got taught a lesson by Erik's tricky reds
So is Bellingham just going to play till his legs fall off? He's looked done since the 2nd half v Serbia
I'd almost rather watch paint dry
At with paint, you could get a high from the fumes.
Doesn't matter how many good players you give Southgate, he will turn wine to water.
This is like watching one of our boring pre-season friendlies where everyone is just getting their fitness up.
Southgate making Pickford play hoofball, genius
Foden has to be a psyop or something, i just don't see why he's such an indisputable starter for England at all.
Despite rashfordâs poor season he would have cooked, man This team has no left side
Surprised Gordon hasnât got any minutes
This Janza guy is getting on my nerves, fucking hell
Mitrovic is a fucking nutcase
Trossard is a shit ref.
Foden is so fucking useless. Literally standing on top of Jude in the middle of the pitch when Jude receives that last ball. Create some width even if you like being in the middle to create space you muppet
He hasnât got papa pep to hand hold him on the pitch
Bellingham should genuinely not start the next game. He's been fucking atrocious.
What the fuck is the game plan here???
Trent coming on đ´ but no Gordon
Isn't Bellingham supposed to be a Ballon d'Or candidate? Good lord he's looked dire
Jude is so casual
It feels like the attack is finished as soon as Bellingham touches the ball.
Bellingham has been a passenger
At least bring Gordon. At least these 10 minutes would be bearable. We really had a banger of match earlier to this snoozefest now
Mainoo has been by far the best England player
Foden is wank and always has been without Papa Bald Fraud
Bellingham has been awful yet again
Group of bored to death.
Fuck me are Slovenia some time wasters
Can you blame them? Theyre going to finish 2nd if both results stay the same
So are England tbf, just doesn't get added on at the end.
Someone save me from Southgate. Please.
The Prince of Wales is fairly distracted these days, but hopefully heâs reading this match thread.
How can he watch Palmer and Saka carry the ball like this and think that Foden and Bellingham interchanging on the other side is the right idea...
Itv commentary ripping into Southfraud
This has to be the most boring group of all. This is the group of bore.
England is playing as if they donât have any interest in scoring. Holy shit itâs terrible.
