Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

i agree about the being taken off bit, good idea. Danny Murphy was complaining the other day that it was 'nonsense' a player should have to wait 30 seconds before coming back on, as they currently are (though i'm not sure that rule's being followed in this tournament). It seemed like he had no notion of why there might be a need to have something like that.

As I’ve said before, I’m always been a big supporter of Southgate, especially the way he has always made sure that the national team are firmly on the right side of the social and moral issues that surround the game. Past managers have distanced themselves from that sort of thing.

However, and he could still prove me wrong, I think he’s made a complete mess of this tournament, from the warm-up matches to the final squad selection, and certainly the match team selections and substitutions. To go with only one fit left-sided player then not play him is madness.

I hear that Gallagher is set to start tomorrow, despite doing nothing to improve us in his two substitute appearances. Cole Palmer’s lack of minutes is strange.

You might expect me to be clamouring for Adam Wharton to start but, given the way we are playing as a team I’m quite glad he hasn’t been hung out to dry just to be dismissed after one game.

My opinion is that he is the player we need in that midfield, but only if we are set up to play in the right way.

I don’t feel like Southgate has any particular patterns of play in his game plans and there is no energy or movement in the side.

I’m hoping for better tomorrow. We’ll need it in the knockout games for sure.

I guess the message at the moment is “don’t panic.”

I love Italy but will never forget the effect Stimac and Asanovic had at Derby. Igor in particular was Godlike

Ah, the beautiful game, remember that? Let's put down some jumpers and have a socially-distanced kickabout. Long shots only, and no hugging and kissing.
