The alternative is watching a repeat of Wales?

I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.

[Fierce Poodle]

Silky skills from Maguire there

[feltmonkey]

Twinkle toes Maguire.

[feltmonkey]

Kane should have buried that chance, by the way.

[Naysonymous]

England playing some nice football.  

[Ry]

Have England had a chance yet?

 

 

[neoELITE]

England playing boring football. Stones to Maguire etc. 

It's fucking awful. 

Pickford catches a ball with seven opposition players in our half.... rolls it out to Maguire.

The opposition are Championship standard at best.

We're shit playing at this slow tempo.

A Harry akane shot blocked. That's it.

[Fierce Poodle]

This is fucking horseshit so far

Horse shit is useful.

Better team will punish England. 

 

This is dire. USA look more threatening when they go forward. And they are defending well for the most part. 

[Gotters]

Total lack of intensity in all areas of the pitch, England just standing off watching them attack and first pass backwards when we have it.

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Did the bar just break 😂

[feltmonkey]

We're second best so far. Mount, Sterling, and Saka are creating more problems for us than them.

[Bacon Horsemeat]

US v Iran is going to be good, might watch that rather than Wales England

I don't see the idea behind Mason Mount. He seems to make everything seem hard. Hard work. Work hard. Produce little.

 

In comparison, Kane is so effortless and rarely gives the ball away.

Its not 1994, Google who they play for

[feltmonkey]

Maguire is actually holding us together a bit. 

[Fierce Poodle]

Christ, I thought Wales were bad.

They have Tim Ream. As a Bolton fan, I can confirm he is barely Championship standard.

[Ork1927]

I can’t engage with this game - I think I’m complete infected with the Welsh sadness.

And England look a bit laboured.

 

 

 

[englishbob]

2nd half will be the same, won't change players until the 75th minute, giving 15 to win it

 

0-0

[Gotters]

1m only added thank god, I got a Vampire Survivors run I want to finish during HT

0-0 then England draw with Wales and Iran win the group beating USA.

 

 

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Theory: Wales and England are gassed out in their second games because they aren't used to the heat.

 

[ryodi]

My conclusion so far is that all of the teams in the group are bad. 

[feltmonkey]

Saka has to come off. He's having a stinker, and there are loads of good options to replace him. Perhaps Grealish to carry the ball.

They play for Champions League sides, I know. If Sheffield United moved to Romania, so would they.

 

It's unacceptable so far. 

 

Far too much in our own half.

England don’t look amazing but I’m not buying into the doom and gloom just yet.  The States seem happy with seven men behind the ball when England are in possession and England’s ‘get to the six yard line and cut it back to the penalty spot’ tactic seems doomed to failure.  We’ve got to allow them out a bit more but England have such a soft underbelly that I’m not filled with confidence.   I think I might be looking for Jack Grealish off the bench for Sterling.

Mount is fucking useless. Take him off. Take Saka off too and also,.... Can we do 9 subs?
