Day 17: England vs Germany | Sweden vs Ukraine (Ro16 7&8)

I've barely seen a game of Grealish, is he really that good?
I'm just wondering why most of you blame Southgate for not choosing Grealish instead of mourning the lack of Sancho and Foden.

Well, he has created half of our goals despite only playing once.

I think people actually want all three playing, to be honest. And they can all fit in the team.
 
We'll probably win but the England line-ups this whole tournament have been so uninspiring.
 
My Prediction -
We go hell for leather in the first few minutes - buoyed by the crowd.

We get a good chance / maybe even an early goal.

Then Southgate gets the team to "calm down" and we then gradually retreat from the game.

Germany get a deflected goal from a set piece

We get another "Chance" in extra time

Germany win on penalties

The English FA continue to waste another generation of talent under an average manager....or.....

They spaff a load of money on Mourinho

A selection of players announce their retirement from International football
 
Saka and Sterling over the likes of Sancho Rashford Grealish and Foden is shocking
 
Yeah, I think it's pretty universally accepted as the right way to go. You're the only one I've seen question it.

All of my mates hate the team selection. I get why he’s done it and I’d rather we played our attacking players but it makes sense to to some degree to cover their wing backs who have been a big threat.
 
Wow. Is England aiming for a 0-0, and a penalty shoot-out? That's an even more destructive line-up than ours, isn't it? Appartently Southgate is really trying hard to ruin my 3-0 for England bet...
:lol: the mind boggles. I guess we can look forward to lots of sideways and backwards passing.
 
Chelsea won the Champs League with Werner and Havertz and they were up against better sides than this England XI.

Chelsea won the CL because of the formation and the extra man advantage called Ngolo Kante.

Werner had very little to do with it, based on the man I saw in the blue shirt. Havertz may have a good day, I'll give you that.
