Semi-finals | Spain vs France | Netherlands vs England

[DJ_21]

We gonna make a change today or what?!!

 

[Samid]

Can see England wiping the floor with Spain.

 

[One Night Only]

Just playing for pens hoping we can get lucky, proper tactics.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Do England not understand that if they play for penalties they'll be facing the ghost of Tim Krul

 

[Oranges038]

Please keep Kane on and take Mainoo off.

 

[DevilRed]

Make some changes ffs.

Legs are starting to go. Foden off. Mainoo off. Kane off.

 

[AnotherLondonManc]

I hope Southgate doesn't put the "fresh legs" of Gallagher on and take off Mainoo...cue England chasing shadows and losing any chance of retaining possession.

Against Switzerland he put on Eze for Mainoo which worked pretty well. Mainoo has had a great game, but id make that change again now to try and force the issue

 

[africanspur]

One thing for Southgate to think about....if this does go to ET and if England do end up progressing, they'll have played a whole extra game from ET across the knockout stages.

Not really great for energy levels against a team that is already better than you and much better at keeping the ball in particular....

 

[ThinkTank@Cafe]

Nah, Seaman was better and even with the ponytail he had better hair.

Ronaldinho 2002 says hi. Pickford is also reliable in penalty shootout which has been England scourge for decades

 

[Art]

Can see England wiping the floor with Spain.

You mean the other way round ?

 

[Insanity]

Southgate has unnecessarily invited this pressure and is hoping for a lucky moment on the counter or a set piece goal.

 

[djembatheking]

100% on Southgate this, England were dominant first half Koeman has made changes and freshened it up and the game has turned on its head. Here we go, about time.

 

[RopersReturn]

This is a crazy gamble by Southgate

 

[NotChatGPT]

Mainoo def going off then

 

[KirkDuyt]

Starting to get some faith back... England turned to absolute shite.

 

[Erics_Collar]

Rice is so, so bad

 

[Jack-C20]

It’s literally like we’ve got Christian Eriksen up front.

 

[FlawlessThaw]

England have far better subs to bring on though.

That's really nice when they're sat on the bench doing feck all.

 

[El Zoido]

This is textbook Southgate’s England. Good start, then the game drifts. No proactivity, and it comes across like he doesn’t have a clue what to do or how to read and manage a game.

 

[Fortitude]

The Dutch are terrible. Wow.

 

[DixieDean]

I knew it was too good to be true for England to play well. I'm sure GS told them to be more defensive at HT.

 

[Lyng]

Pickford catching that Xavi balloon and making a face like it came with 120mph

 

[B. Munich]

2nd half is boring. And it's not because of the referee.

 

[Stadjer]

Put a bit of pace on now and hit them on the counter.

We just bring van de Ven to counter any pace you can bring!

 

[Doracle]

Foden too slow with the pass.

 

[Catt]

Goal or no

 

[saivet]

Ahh, unlucky. Looks offside.

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

He’s on.

 

[Resonance]

Feck sake.

 

[djembatheking]

Bollocks.

 

[Yagami]

Oh boy

 

[Bobski]

That is super tight.

 

[Widow]

Silly offside that

 

[Red Star One]

looks off

 

[Sassy Colin]

Offside?

Yes.

 

[sizzling sausages]

He's on I think

 

[Someone]

Worse...he made this happen by changing formation for the first time ever, when we are dominant.

Kane and Bellingham are destroying our attack now, but they aren't going off.

It's really amazing that he made changes when England were dominant when he usually is super hesitant to make changes when they're playing shit.

 

[Redlambs]

That's not offside

1-1 then!

 

[Guy Incognito]

Just off.

 

[Fortitude]

Finally! Subs!
