No fear. This feels different to last time. Less nerves, I think. Less likely the occasion will get to many of the players. We're not favourites by any stretch, but this didn't feel like the pressure of last time. It doesn't feel once in a lifetime, this time. I hope that'll help our performance.
Just like we proved against City on the FA Cup final, anything can happen in a one shot match. Fine margins and all that.
You got a preview of Southgate's tactics?
Reckon back 5, sit in, counter with Watkins at 9. masterclass.
England 8 - 3 Spain.
You can only beat whats infront of you but they’ve not faced a top tier team yet. I expect Spain will be a step too far and if they’d met earlier England would be home already. That said, a decision, a sending off..bad injury on the day can all give England a win.
well, we’re in the final because of one his moments
Did you also say this before the FA Cup final?
Also keep in mind that if we win, Pep’s entirely family will be sad haha
Yeah this will be a huge step up in class
I hope we win even more for all the weirdos I've seen on here and online with the same warped depressing and miserable attitude as @DixieDean, no offence.
Basically, my position is because of the coach and the performances by the team, so far, I have ZERO joy and optimism about being in a final. I don't see anything to be optimistic in our performance. We've had on good 45 all eruo. He'll pick the same side again and lose. And there is a decent chance we get embarrassed with GS in charge, it's a waste of a fixture. Might play on xbox or somethig when it's on.
Surely as an Everton fan used to losing constantly, it's not all about the end goal, you just surely enjoy the journey too?
There's been plenty of enjoyable moments for us in this tournament, even if it hasn't been brilliant football.
It's bonkers to be in a final and not even remotely optimistic, it's actually illogical.
I still think you're trolling, it's so laughably extreme.

Oh please do. I love it when football fans take the time to post on football forums to tell us they won't be watching an important match for the team they support. It's not the flex you think it is.
I like mentioned earlier, I don't follow club football any more.
We have been very poor all toruney. I had some hope after the first half against the Dutch, but no back to shit again. From what you've seen from both sides why are you optimistic? It's obvious what's going to happen. So, no point watching really.

But you probably thought it was obvious we'd lose each of the last few games because we're so terrible? and yet, here we are, in the final.
I might well. Not sure yet. Southgate has forced me to play a game I'm not even enjoying. That's how dire it's been! I'll use this forum to keep up.

I thought we would lose against the Dutch and they are noting more than average, compared to spain.
It's not so much the inevitable defeat that does it. It's the dire football that's robbed me of any hope. If I thought we were going to play good football and just get out classed. That's fine. But I find his current brand of football shocking and without merit.
So you’ll hang out in this thread just so you can post ‘I told you so’ if we lose?
As someone said - if you’ve stopped watching club football as you don’t enjoy it…and you haven’t enjoyed any of our games…then maybe football isn’t for you anymore?
No idea why you need to keep telling people whether you might or might not watch it?
But if you don’t, then it would be even stranger to continue to post in here…offering your views on a match that you chose not to watch.
That person brought up me not watching, which, is why I brought it up again.
I'll be in the match day forum. Not this one. That's were I'm going to be kept up to date on the game.
And I am, surely sure, everyone here predicts a spain win? So, it's hardly something I would brag about! Obv, some people don't mind watching shit on a stick football with england and that's fair enough. But it's not for me...
But you've loved talking about it, racking up the most posts in this entire thread, so at least you've had some fun
Didn't watch it!
Gwan Spain
I have enjoyed following the tournament. It's been the first decent chunk of football I've watched since the WC. Club football is not something I want to engage with any more. So, a big england tourney every 2 years is all I have left. Just wish we had a better coach. This one has has ruined the last few.But you've loved talking about it, racking up the most posts in this entire thread, so at least you've had some fun
OK, you do that. Nobody cares.
Thank you for wasting the one second it took me to read that. weird post.
I never implied that anyone would care. Why on earth would would they
Starting Kane today would be a joke decision. But of course, he will. If he was suffering from bad form I would stick with him but he looks (badly) injured. In that case, i's a huge insult to Watkins.
Shaw in for Trippier. Only change
Not sure how they reckon it's a surprise. He came on fairly early in the semi and very obviously looked way better than Trippier.
The whole point of bringing him was because he might be able to start late on.
The player graphics for the team thing are cringe as feck
Why is Foden still starting? Saka has been rubbish. Palmer should start.
Lucky to get to the final.
Need a possession based coach in next.

Kyle walker at fault for both goals
Kane was awful again .
Foden did absolutely fecking nothing all tournament

Fawning all over Kane needs to stop aswell. There are other solutions in attack that can come good in clutch moments as seen in previous games.
Both shots were saveable by a better GK too.
Very good squad, some justice done given how poor England were 90% of the time. Lose to the first decent team played, as usual. Justice is done.
Need a coach who can actually coach a modern style of football. Only English option is Potter.

Southgate is holding them back. If they have to play, they score, because of the quality
Walker was nowhere near where he needed to be for either goal. Really disappointing. Kane was also shocking again.
The scoreline looked better for us than it really should have been. They were way better than us.

Future is bright for some of these boys, just need someone with the balls to come in get rid of some of these big named players.
