Quoted from GrimRob
The format of the tournaments encourages negative football for the underdog. A draw in the group stages is generally ok as long as you beat the 4th seed in the group. You should get enough points to go through win and at least one draw.


In a 24 team tournament yes, but is that the case in a 32?

Quoted from golfer
I just don't get the reasoning for playing Dier. It's ok setting out a defensive plan when playing the likes of Brazil and Germany but the same system is used in every match. All Dier does is run towards the ball when we are in possession to receive a 5 yard pass. If by some miracle he manages to control the ball he either passes straight back or another 5 yard pass putting another defender under pressure. Last night he made 1 decent forward pass the whole game. He jogs about aimlessly for 90 minutes-I have run marathons faster than his top speed-he has obviously never heard of spatial ability-absolutely useless-might as well play with 10 men-wouldn't even get in a Slade eleven.          P.S.  I am not getting at anyone in particular


Most of his second touches were a tackle....



actually i take that back....most of his second touches were a foul


but at least he can take a free kick, the one he had last night was only 5-6 yds wide of the goal.

Sorry but was encouraged by the last 2 games using largey youth, they showed the first team regulars how to play.

Its hows we may have a good future for the national team, we just need to stop picking people on what club they play for rather than ability.
0-0 against the best team in the world using kids is very positive to me. hope it gives Southgate a selection headache and he does not just pick the usual dross like Slade would.
