We've been really lucky we've been in such a poor group. Several others we'd have been 2nd or 3rd easily.
Day 12 | England v Slovenia + Denmark v Serbia | France v Poland + Netherlands v Austria
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Not sure if serious or trolling.
It's not a free pass but it's also not the end of the world.
This insane overreacting to everything about the England team is what heaps the pressure on generation after generation of talent.
Per the beeb
GROUP C FINAL STANDINGSpublished at 21:56
21:56
FT: England 0-0 Slovenia
England go through as group winners.
Denmark finish second with Slovenia third - both sides go through.
They finished level on points, goal difference, goals scored and disciplinary record (6-6 on yellow cards).
The next tie breaker was who had the best qualifying record - and Denmark finished above Slovenia - coincidentally in the same qualifying group - on head-to-head record, after both sides finished qualifying on the same amount of points too.

It's actually a bit cowardly I think. Serbia played very disciplined and deep, but whenever we got the chance to break on them we just stopped to recycle possession. We can't create chances.
Imagine if your national team was an underdog who just goes mental and goes for it every match with loads of passion. Causing mayhem.
You'd probably get knocked out a bit earlier but god that would be great.
Turkey around 2008.

Nah they are officially through. Croatia are out and they have a better GD than Hungary
It's also one of the worst Denmark teams I've ever seen.
There is a good chance you'll. Austria is the best team your side of the draw.Imagine we shithoused our way to the final playing like this
Palmer, Mainoo and even Gordon need to start the next game. England looked much better when they came on. But still so pedestrian. Imagine Southgate got the job with us. glad ETH stayed

What pod person has replaced Jude Bellingham?
England were crap.
Better second half but Slovenia just came to park the bus that half and England still created virtually nothing.

Meh.... Both games goalless. Hoped for a rematch of the Euro 2021 knockout match in Wembley.
Denmark is a boring and probably even harder draw, you can only lose in such games.

Bloody hope so. The clown in charge might just have landed by pure luck on the correct team.
They are through. Doesn't matter what happens elsewhere.
Kane saying they played much better than the last 2 games. Hardly
Trippier is a much, much better defender than trent, and we'll need walker at right back in the next game whoever we play
Our side is lovely.
Boy, don't you look silly right now!
They are already through. More points than Croatia and better GD than Hungary.
That's who they parked the bus. Another draw is a great result for them.
Lucky for Slovenia, they avoid Germany.
My goodness are England shite. At this stage I don’t want Southgate ruining Mainoo, an early exit in the round of 16 please.
It should... but it won't
I doubt it’s much more overreacting than other ‘top’ nations who are expected to go far.
Watch without the doom and gloom of this forum’s weird eternal pessimists, it’s more fun. Deffo an improvement on the last match, heading in the right direction.
We’ve won the group scoring only 2 goals, not inspiring. 2nd half was a little better, we controlled the game without really looking like scoring. Mainoo was good when he came on and I think Gordon should have come on sooner. Will need to be able to up our game to progress from these stages now.
They're very likely to get Portugal instead.
England was the only team in the group that won a match.
I always find this a strange view personally.
Do you imagine the scrutiny is any less in Brazil or Argentina during a tournament? Or Italy or Spain?
We are just a country that cares a lot about football.
Unsurprisingly Mainoo is our best midfield option. Not that it was particularly hard to establish…
Kane with a truly pathetic interview.
That's not good either but I'd rather play Portugal than the host who happens to also be Germany.
0.65xG vs Slovenia.
It's coming home.
It's coming home.
Tweet said southgate was booed. Dunno if that was England fans, though.
Frustrating that a victory could see us avoid Germany
2010 Group Stage England vibe, just willfully hideous.
Harry Kane in Heskey’s role, minus the stepovers.
Bellingham should play up top, Foden in the 10, Gordon wide left, Palmer wide right, Mainoo - Rice pivot.
Saka looks knackered, Kane is extremely overrated.

It's been a theme for this side. Way to often prefer to take an extra pass instead of going for goal.
Mbappe xG in 2 group games: 2.33
England xG in 3 group games: 2.09

Based on that cameo no thanks. Hollywood ball to nobody, hospital pass to Mainoo. Shirks a 50-50 challenge like an absolute coward. Overrated as feck.
