Bannofan Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Still thinking Italy or France will win it. Not exactly Nostradamus, but it's true isn't it? Denmark are a story in the making, how far it will take them I don't know. I would genuinely say England will be punching if they get through the last 16 round, though ditching Rice for Henderson at HT seem to be improve us, as did starting Saka and Grealish and I expect Southgate to carry on with that. Germany..they are just going to get stronger aren't they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheriwozgod Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Any update from Graeme Souness on world class Scotland They did exactly as i thought they would , made it all about England. Played out of their skin at Wembley , completely forgetting that their two home games were more impor.tant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Fancy us to do Germany if we get them. Not because they are weak in any way but because we are due it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been saying that for how long? The only time we've beat them in a major tournament in my lifetime (not counting the 5-1 qualifier) was in 2000 and that's probably the worst German team ever. Will take something special for us to see off any of those big teams from that group. If we do it, then it might be time to get excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 One goal, one point. Don't even need to tak the high road home. Shambles of a footballing nation.

We beat them in the group. I believe this is when they went out in the group stage and they completely reformed their approach to youth production based on it as was unacceptable for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Yep - and we both went out in the group stages, Portugal and Romania going through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocker of a tournament under Keegan. Perhaps worth keeping in mind we've tried pretty much all options for the England gig and very few have done all that much; from world class managers like Capello to fan favs like Keegan. We've now got the FA yes man in Southgate. Tbf, his track record in these tournaments so far is better than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just been looking back at this tournament and we had a good team, although maybe the good players were young, Beckham, Scholes, Neville, Owen etc. But Wise was a prominent player in this tournament? Wow! Also looked at qualification and we scraped in. Only got to the playoff because Poland didn't get a point in their last game against Sweden who were already guaranteed top spot. Keegan really did have a mare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(this is from memory so may well be wrong). At least in terms of style of play? When did we last have an elite manager that was still at their peak? From memory Sven had won the scudetto with Lazio the season before? That's the closest to the above description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
