Ukraine is buns


LOL I saw the game and thought it was going to be another 0-3 for Ukraine, but they manage to turn it around and get a victory, they still have a shot at making it to the next round.

That's what I keep wondering, I know that Saka, Foden, Bellingham all had a good season but so did Palmer... but when I saw all 3 subbed and STILL no Palmer.... Heck I would even put in Gordon // Palmer as second option but maybe the coach sees other thing we can't see from home.



I think Saka is better then Palmer (at least based on Experience) but not putting Palmer as second option after benching Foden and Saka.... thats just a crime...



When it comes to these tournaments, most teams will be tough, it basically comes down to Win or GO HOME so nobody is wiling to give up points that easily, its one of the reason why I love these tournaments.


Even counting experience, after the season Palmer had you want to be playing him imo

South Gate needs to go IMO.... England has the HIGHEST VALUED squad in the tournament and so far their performance has been MID this tournament..

1. Palmer should at least be an option to come off the bench if things are not working out.
2. South Gate mention that he doesn't have a MID fielder to replace Kalvin Phillips BUT yet he leaves Mainoo in the bench and tries to experiment with Trent as Midfield...
3. While England does NOT lack attacking power, they have only managed to score twice in 2 games, but England literally has the highest Scoring Striker this season which is Harry Kane.

Something needs to change or they will most likely suffer later in the tournament.

It's iincredible how Italy manage to make it to Knock Out phase with only 3 Points lol... Croatia is basically OUT of the EURO wth only 2 Points would say, even though there is still few games to be played, there are 3 Teams on 3rd place with 3 Points ahead of Croatia, If Slovenia manages to get 1 Point tomorrow, it will be over for Croatia.

Ohh yeah today was really unexpected, France manage to pass without ANY of their players having score a single game... and Austria was first of the group.... I'm pretty sure everyone had France > Netherlands > Poland > Austria and look at the standings now lol.

idk who it was unexpected for, but after first 2 games and how England played this was very expected to be another boring passive game.

We've been completely shite in every game.

Southgate has one of the best attacking squads we've ever taken to a tournament and exactly zero idea on how to utilise it.

Foden in man city, looks world class. Bellingham in real Madrid, looks world class. Even Kane put up silly numbers for the Germans but for England he seems both invisible and a detriment at the same time.

Meanwhile, you've got an Austria team full of bang average donkeys and they look so well organised it's ridiculous.

Yet whenever this Southgate fairy gets the slightest criticism, he starts crying and chatting shit about what he's missing, like a kalvin fucking Phillips. Most national managers would fucking chew your arm off to have the selection and options England have ffs.
