06.14.24 | m8 i feel so sorry for them. imagine coming all this way just for you team to go 3 down in the first half. its nightmare material.
hope they got some good german beer drinking done before the match tho, might make this less painful |

yeah, not sure we have a chance in reality. Not with that defence. I’m not Maguire’s biggest fan but his omission has left us short of experience
Attack is great, but we play such turgid football under Southgate anyway. I want him gone. At least get someone who’s shown something at club level. Even Potter would be better. People overestimate the quality of coaching in international football, the best ones are generally at club sides. |

06.14.24 | looking forward to it zak! never been germany and ive never been to a match so will be a good experience. going with my brother and my dads mates (hes a bit sick so we have his tickets). ive known his mates all my life so dont mind even if they are all 38 years older than me lol.

06.15.24 | As an aston vanilla fan (based and claret-and-blue-pilled) it was really weird seeing McGinn so ineffectual and lost. Watching Scotland play made me wonder how much time they had together to practice, didn't seem like a team performance at all |

I like Guehi. Chelsea fan so well aware of him as a former blue. But you need some experience for big tournaments. Familiarity helps too, and how often have Stones and Guehi actually played together? Yeah, LB is also a worry, as is the midfield balance (not sure about the idea that TAA will play there).
Barely watching this, but it seems like another one-sided game. Swiss look organised / decent |

06.15.24 | “I side with Italy, but I'm clueless regarding the state of squadra azzurra.“
they’re my #2 team as well due to family connections / being into 90s Italian football but admittedly I’m not as clued up on how they’ve been performing. Gonna say it’s not the strongest Italy squad we’ve seen, but then it’s solid enough and look what happened last time (when similar things were said), you can never underestimate them
probably put them in the ‘dark horses’ category just behind the faves, but with a decent shot |

06.15.24 | "as is the midfield balance (not sure about the idea that TAA will play there)."
Agreed, Trent has some great qualities but he isn't a natural 8. A majority of the country want him to start though. I would have preferred Mainoo. Mainoo is a better short passer, dribbler and is amazingly press-resistant. Unfortunately the 8 position is a weak point this tournament for England. Mainoo and Wharton have incredibly high ceilings but still very young. Gallagher is industrious but not good enough on the ball. |
Demon of the Fall
06.15.24 | I would just play Mainoo personally. Bellingham can drop in when needed (especially vs tougher opponents) and Rice is fairly experienced now and both have shown leadership qualities. The pair could guide him. It was an area where risking the young player was probably worth it to aid balance. |

06.15.24 | "Gallagher is industrious but not good enough on the ball."
what gallagher is good at is relentless pressing and tireless off-the-ball work, but as a standard cm he's pl-average at best. think he's in the squad to be the 60-70th minute sub to chase down everyone else in the opposition midfield |
