Group D: England, Croatia, Scotland, Czech Republic

How has that dykes got another 90 mins here haha. He’s terrible.

There really aren't other options. Scotland has the core of a decent enough side but when you've got O'Donnell, Dykes and that like starting it isn't going to work out.

Euro 96 was about as close as it would get.

You know, I watched a few of the games again last year. The quality on the ball was dreadful. We have actually come on leaps and bounds in many respects.

Mad that Ashley Cole never scored for England - 107 caps

Euro 96 was about as close as it would get.

2004 we swashbuckled a bit until Rooney got injured

Legit duller than watching Carlo's Everton

England's last shot was on 26 minutes. Seems bad to me.

 

[blueconverse]

I support England but I cheered then. Take that scrappy

The front two for Scotland have to be the worst strike force in international football. Utterly hopeless the pair of them.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Have England ever been a swashbuckling and entertaining tournament team? Not that I really remember.

This is par for the course but without the hype of, say, the so called golden generation

It’s only really been the Panama game in the World Cup that we’ve really let loose recently, before that you have to look at the Netherlands game in 96 and Croatia in 04

So we can assume then DCL will not get any game time now for the rest of the tournament. Kane useless, Rashford has done nothing when he comes on yet Southgate just stands there and ignores him.

He'll get 5 mins when England are losing and need to throw everything up top, which won't work and that'll be that.

 

[JMT]

Kane and Rashford can put in some proper garbage performances and still get priority over DCL, Southgate is a massive massive tory.

Worryingly I think this is pretty much football in 2021.

Whoa there

1-0 to the 'X' wins matches. I have no confidence in England's ability to keep real teams out of the back of the net, though.

Slow down there I've seen USA teams start Altidore and someone else up top where Altidore is the good one
