2 years ago in Qatar Spain was so young, and looked... Naive, even. And now WOW, I'm really loving this side. Nico Williams and Yamin are a delight to watch.

Props to Georgia as well

"Saved by their Bellingham" ---- Ian Darke

He really gonna die on that foden grave...

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's somewhat backwards, but I think all the criticism is counterproductive, as it just pushes Gareth to make more and more conseravtive choices. A manager with credit in the bank feels free to experiment and switch things around. If he had any sense, he'd be subbing Kane off at 60 minutes on the dot.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The Kane situation is really you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. If he subs or benches him and they don't perform people would be why did you not use him. If he doesn't perform then people will go well you got other options why have you not used them.

It's the history of England managers.

Maybe I'm simplifying it too much, but what would be the issue with sitting him and saying that he's the captain and he should bear some responsibility for their lackluster performances as well? He's clearly interfering with Jude/the other midfielders tactically.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I would bench Bellingham as well...he hasn't been great either but then again here we are

The way this ref is handling things this will be the Battle of Gelsenkirchen

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Gelsenkirchen

Damn, that's a deep cut

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

We finally start the lineup I wanted to see at the start of the Euros lol. Mainoo, now's your chance to perform.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Kane has the fucking first touch of a piece of construction equipment

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

JUDE BELLINGHAM YOU LEGEND

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh wow hot damn! Motherfucker I dare you to bench Foden and start Toney next match then.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, that might solve their problems...

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Or, as much as I hate it, move Saka to LB and play Foden on the right wing instead.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Yeesh Spain 👀

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

The thing is that this kind of performance isn't even new, they have been really lackluster with warm up matches and friendlies. Barely scraped by group stages really. The only saving grace is that Rice and Saka will get a longer break until the American tour

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

That's gonna be called offside innit?

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Pickford looks to have done something to his hand...

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Saka looking good

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

And now they take off their best player this match 🤣

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Jeebus the backline is horrendous today

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

ITS COMING HOME ITS COMING HOME ITS COMING FOOTBALLS COMING HOME

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

And there it is....

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

So who do we think will take over this hot potato job after this?

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Wow damn Jude. That's a goal.

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

CAM AHN INGERLAND

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago
