Euro: Round of 16 - England v. Slovakia - Jun. 30

[GeoRox89]

What a turnaround!

Please still sack Southgate no matter how this match and tournament ends

 

[serp]

It's over and now England have the easiest treck to the finals.

No freaking way can the English play against the Swiss like that. They're much better than the Slovaks

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Not a legit goal. Rigged by Bettman

 

[PanniniClaus]

So does Southgate play the same dumbass lineup to start their next game..

almost a certainty

 

[Sad People]

you're telling me... Kane didn't f*** up on a clutch opportunity o_o

Gotta be a first for him

 

[Sol]

Southgate.

BAH GAH THATS KANES MUSIC

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Disgusting. Game should have been over. There weren't even 5 minutes worth of added time. Hopefully the Swiss wipe the floor with them.

The Soslev injury check alone was like 3 minutes

 

[Peen]

really smart play by walker to let that run instead of sticking a leg out in the box.

 

[McGarnagle]

You know the narrative from England is going to be

DOMINATIN' PERFORMANCE, LOVE ME BELLIN'M, LOVE ME SOUTHGATE, SIMPLE AS

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Kane has had a rather poor match, but now manages to score as Slovaks legs have gone and can no longer cover opponents properly.

His pass on the offside goal was the best pass of the match.

Probably yes, he'll see a win as vindication for his lineup.

 

[al secord]

A full Stones shot to the stones.

 

[willy702]

Why do the defenders drift back like they are defending a corner on that one? If they went out and engaged Kane maybe he chokes as always.

 

[hatterson]

I do love the fact that England get zero shots on target in 95 minutes and then Foden comes off and they get two goals inside of 4 minutes of game time.

Oh I'm taking the Swiss to win. England seem to do just enough to keep Southgate around each tournament though. They win one more and he likely gets to stay to the World Cup.

 

[KJS14]

England fans everywhere just slowly slid their cheat sheets back into their pockets...

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Easy now to see this game out. Slovakian players are gasping for air and barely able to stand.

England will lose against the Swiss if they played like how they did for 90 minutes.

 

[Jussi]

Didn't Trippier also get injured in the 2nd half? That took a while too.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

As an aside, I always laugh when we North Americans switch up our vocab when watching soccer. Everyone becomes so dignified and proper.

Poor form. Indubitably. One nil. Myyyyeeeessss.

 

[stats1]

What a terrible match lol pulled this one out of their ass. They’re going to get destroyed by Swiss if they play like this

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

England's main problem was once again that they had no-one in midfield to control the game. They'll always struggle in build-up as long as that's the case. Their attackers are all the type of guys who expect service and don't wanna do build-up play. The defenders look like they'd rather just hoof it up field. England couldn't beat a mediocre Slovak press for like 75 minutes because of that. It's actually astonishing that in spite of now 25 years of foreign managers in England and globalized media etc. England still can't produce players that are happy to act as midfield pivots.

Yes he did and then was swapped for Palmer and it did take a while

You can thank Ray Hudson.

They had one of the best dictators of play in world football when Carrick was playing and never utilized him.
