Don't know how Southgate can't realize that Foden needs to be replaced with an actual winger. It's so obvious it's painful

I don't think the english have a single natural LB on their roster and also Foden is the only left-footed offensive player they have

“A score line that’s sending reverberations around this tournament”

Is it really though? Are there any non-England homers who are actually surprised that they look like trash? They’ve looked like trash all tournament.

Saka is left footed, and also Foden is not providing any of the balance which is the aim of having a left footer there, so what's the f***ing point anyhow

You'd think Southgate would deploy a tactic that uses inside forwards or inverted wingers considering the players he bought, instead this genius deploys them as wingers.

It's just for effect. It's like yesterday when the Swiss beat the Italians and the announcers sounded like it was monumental.

Dawg 3/4 of the planet prob expected a Swiss win there

Ivory Coast sacked a manager mid tournament and won it

Do you think they'll sack Southgate mid match?

I remember it happened in German 2nd division in the 90's . Fortuna Kölns owner went into the locker room and fired coach Toni Schuhmacher at halftime.

I'm not surprised they look like trash, I am surprised they're trailing, and I'd still be surprised if they go out here.

Not that Foden's set pieces have been bad today, but do you think Southgate knows that Saka and Rice were the primary corner takers on the best offensive set piece team in the league (and I think tied the all-time PL record)?

I know losing to Iceland was the ultimate embarrassment, but no-one (besides the English themselves) really thought they were any good. This would be pretty bad as well no?

A lot of attacking players who are used to working with good coaches look confused and lost without a strong tactical structure?

Sounds like we need a mouth breather who has never listened to a coach in his life!

With the amount of set pieces the english generated you'd think they would at least create a few scoring chances.

What a BS yellow on Skriniar achieved there by Divingham. It took him just a year immersed in the Real culture to turn full heel, and it's a shame because he used to be a likeable player, and now he reminds me of Vinicius with all the whining and dirty play.
