Been having problems sleeping the last couple of nights so going to watch England and see if that helps.

Ok lads, here's the new plan:
1. Get a goal
2. Park the bus

I am silently rooting for a 0-1 Slovenia win on an OG by Gallagher trying to pass back to Pickford.

What's more overrated: English soccer players or???

I actually can't think of anything more overrated.

England has a ton of talent on this team, don't underestimate Southgate's ability to turn them all into lesser versions of themselves. Southgate is basically an anthropomorphic wet blanket.

That's the joke

Edit: Although the plan this game may be skip step 1, go step 2.

Yeah during that long Slovenian possession, it's like no one wanted to close players down and risk injury.

Harry Kane offers 0 movement up front. They really need to try something different.

Any they have Saka jammed in there with him, so neither has proper space to work and Saka is not in a position that suits him. England is so bizarre to watch.

Poor Modric. He has to hope *this* England team scores 3 goals in the next 20+ minutes to save his international career.

Henceforth, every group England is drawn into will be known as the Group of Drowsy.

They said the problem earlier. Foden had completed one pass to him all tournament.

So if these results hold, Group C will have had exactly ONE (1) game that wasn't a draw. The 6 games will have seen a total of 7 goals.

Let us never speak of Euro 2024 Group C after tonight.

There's something strangely intoxicating about watching England struggle. If you were to add up player market values, I would expect England to be around Manchester City or Real Madrid. Maybe even higher. And I'd expect Slovenia to be near the Premier League relegated teams or the ones promoted from the Championship. (And a big chunk of that will be Sesko).

Limeys had possession in the Slov half almost the entire second half and only like 1 shot on goal.

England ends up winning the group by Bellingham's header at 13' of the first match.

Watkins should be starting up front. Makes that front 3 of Foden, Saka and Watkins so much more fluid. And honestly, I'd move Foden into CAM, Gordon out LW and bench TAA as well

Lowest scoring group in Euros history? England has been in 3 of the top 6 lowest scoring groups?

Ban England from international football.

Kane hasn't gotten service in the final third but he's also made really bad decisions when he does get the ball in a deeper position and when England does manage to play through him. That layoff to Palmer (who I thought was miles better than Saka on the right) was not the right play. He should have played the 1-2 with Mainoo who continued his run and even pointed to where he wanted the ball. If Kane makes that pass instead, it's an opportunity 10 yards and right in the center of goal rather than from wide right and at the edge of the box.

Harry Kane wasn't getting a lot of service, true, But he was losing the ball a lot when he did have it, and I can't remember him doing really anything in the second half. I think he should have been subbed around 60', captain or not.

I hope England ends up with the Dutch next round… only because it means we'll only have to see one of those turds in the QFs.

(I was really hoping they'd meet France for the same reason - they're even more uninspiring than the Dutch, but sadly that ship has sailed).
