Euro: Group C: Denmark vs. England

[robertmac43]

Southgate is just such a meh coach. Just awful football he has his team playing for such large stretches of games.

Wasting such a talented group of players too...

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

This story is as old as time. England have good players but coaching and tactics hold them back.

They won’t win unless they get an English coach Who can actually coach and I don’t know many.

 

[Ceremony]

Really good halftime came when it did for England so Gareth could reset and reorganise them.

 

[JoVel]

If Southgate was the coach of team Canada at the 2026 Olympics, he'd put together a line of McDavid, MacKinnon and Bedard and make them play trap.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Southgate gets wayyy too much criticism given he's easily the most successful England manager in 50 years.

 

[luiginb]

This is wrong.

Kristiansen plays for Bologna, and has had a superb season for them.

Crap defending this time sure, but get yer facts straight.

My bad, got him confused with Pedersen.

Missed their chance too. Should have moved on from Southgate and gone with Potter.

 

[serp]

What a wierd time for a substitution. Why wait 5-8 minutes and not just do it at halftime ?

With the current team i would do better. You could just let them play exactly how they want and they would do better than this.

He is Norwegian.

He's got the most talent in the world at his disposal imo he should do better, or at least play some attractive football, not go up then park the bus against the likes of Serbia and Denmark.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Foden clearly the best offensive player for England today.

Lifetime contract.

That's vastly overrating their talent level relative to the competition. I'm supposed to think a squad that has a midget in goal and starts Trippier in every match is some kind of all-star team? England has good players, but it's not 1994 Brazil, it's not late 90s France, 2010 Spain, it's not even recent France talent-wise.

 

[Sad People]

Foden is finally showing up.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

And I wanna say that all of those teams mentioned had their rough patches and unconvincing matches in group stages etc. because international tournament football isn't easy. Teams don't just waltz to titles.

England is always overrated but right now them and France are producing some of the best talents around. Southgate is a problem but it runs deeper

Starting three right backs is a point against Southgate, not in his favour.

Watch Bah have fun with this makeshift English left flank

I’m not saying i would drag them to the title or anything, but i think they would play better football if you just let them free.

 

[Karterthadon]

Foden is cooking today but Bellingham might as well be on a milk carton

In current day football teams playing 'free' concede tons of goals because coordinated passing attacks go through shapeless teams that aren't drilled to be compact like a knife through warm butter.

I can see what Southgate is trying to do, I don't know if he has the right answers to all the questions, but quite frankly he didn't make Kane play a dumb pass back into the middle to no-one in particular and then have a Dane hit a shot from 30 yards out that goes in the goal from the post.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Foden = Nylander
Bellingham = Marner

 

[luiginb]

Bellingham diving like prime Neymar

 

[hatterson]

The pitch looks like absolute trash today. Seems like every time a player tries to stop a giant chunk of turf is coming up.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Favourite thing about watching football is no inane commercials every 5 minutes.

England looks awful
