Playing the same unbalanced system with essentially the same players produces essentially the same performance. Who could possibly have forseen that?

The only possible explanation I have is that Southgate is pulling off the longest undercover double agent routine. It’s been utterly obvious to anyone from minute one of the tournament what England’s problems are, and he’s made no attempt to fix any of it.

No subs at half time? You might be right!

As Southgate has made just the one change, he must think that this is as good as we can play?

He’s only trying to get Toney on on the off chance we score and he can take a pen.
Edit - forgot about extra time

Brits need to come up with a song that celebrates Jude Bellingham.

Quote:
There were definitely a few songs being sung about Bellingham in the first 90 minutes in the pub where I watched the match. None were celebratory though. England today really was Arsenal in the last two or three years of Wenger. Unless it was a definite tap in, England refused to shoot. On the other hand, England’s defense is horrendous. Outside of Walker, all of those guys need someone in front of them to help out defensively. Southgate wants clean sheets. The only way that is happening is with Kane, Foden and Bellingham to drop deep. Southgate has to give up the idea of keeping clean sheets. Attack, attack, attack and try to win 3-2 or 4-3 is the only path to the championship IMO.

Portugal and Slovenia in a crazy extra time. Oblak makes a great save to stop a Ronaldo pen after a Diego Jota dive and then Slovenia's star striker shits the bed on a 1 on 1. Likely going to penalties

That Slovenian dude blew the game missing that 1 on 1. And yeah, that penalty save on Ronaldo was karma because that penalty was the equivalent of LeBron ramming his way down the lane and being bailed out by refs for an out of control attempt that he never had a chance on.

I guess I don't understand the offsides rule.
