The England Thread

[JCRD]

Something like If You're Happy And You Know It Clap Your Hands?

The Hokey Kokey would be pretty good. Counts as a warm up too

I take it stones will replace Maguire when he's back?

We need a more rousing anthem I think - the French and the Italian ones are pretty great

Are you kidding? The Italian one sounds like something from The Mouse That Roared!

All national anthems are naff.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Both as bad as each other so far...

As in sedimentary / igneous / metamorphic..?

Italian anthem is fantastic. Also the French is great as well. Ours is so boring.

It won't be a gem. Galls might be involved...

Personally can’t wait for Southgate to leave. He’s got a golden generation and is wasting it. Crap football to watch and doesn’t pick players on form. Maguire shouldn’t be anywhere near this team on present form. Imagine what Potter could do with this squad.

Do you think Sessegnon is ready to play in a world cup? I think he might have had a chance if it was next summer, but it feels a bit early for him in November/December.

I think this is a question that we are obsessed with in England but dont see it else where

The 2008 euros Spain team was built on Senna as their holding piece
The 2010 world cup winners had capdevilia
The 2014 Word cup winners had start Kramer in the final, albeit he played 32 mins after an injury, not to mention a geriatric Klose
The 2018 world cup winners had Pavard as the number 1 choice in RB playing for stuttgart with a handful of caps with Hernandez on the other side with a few and Nzonzi coming off the bench

I think you have to go for the best you have in that position. I also think Steve Holland, who does the tactics is clearly setting up england to emulate conte's 352/342 system. Sessegnon knows the system better than most

Good use of the Asterix

Fuck me. What do you want? Rule Britannia, Jerusalem? No surrender?

I also think Walker at RCB and James at RWB is silly, Walker doesnt play RCB for club whereas James plays in a 3 week in week out, at RCB most often.

I'd forgotten how bad 'Southgate football' really is.

 

[taidgh]

Pope isn't exactly selling himself as a potential number one with all these misplaced passes.

 

[Legacy]

I'm pretty sure Sterling has lost the ball every time he's received it.

 

[SlotBadger]

Sterling might release the fucking ball one day

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Imagine what Potter could do with this squad.

It would be magical, I’m sure.

*those Gauls....

Always bladdered

 

[TheChosenOne]

Sterling might release the fucking ball one day

Just knew that move was over when he turned left
