It will be offside1

Oh look at that, the underdog took the lead (happens a lot) and the favourite pulls level less than 10 minutes later... panic over
1 -
To be fair I'll be shocked if thats not offside0
-
they are really checking it hard here lol0
-
Cmon... I'm half blind and can see he's beyond the last man0

Thought so in real time.golfaddick said:It will be offside2 -
Interminable wait for the offside decision.
Much better start by England, Grealish shouldn't have wandered offside.0 -
Why is this taking so long? Clearly offside. VAR is a fucking joke.2
-
Lazy of Southgate to let Grealish wander beyond the last man like that2
-
this ref wants to be the centre of attention
Treverlos Kettledinhio over here5 -

AndyG said:😂 ok I can see I’m in the minority so won’t go on except to say any half decent manager would have a better chance of winning something with this group of players Southgate just isn’t a winner and bottles it when it’s within his grasp, nice bloke yes winner noNot saying you're asking for Pep but... brilliant managers at club level "fail" all the time at international level.Look at Luis Enrique and Spain. Arguably one of the best managers in the world, knocked out of the World Cup by Morocco.
Why is it so difficult to make the transition from club football to internationals?
Because club managers, especially the best ones, have the luxury of buying better players, and spending months and months training with them daily to play the fancy free flowing football that that top-rated manager wants to see.
Then you get hired as your national team's head coach and all of a sudden you can't go out and buy a new centre back when you need one, make do with what you've got. You can't spend weeks and weeks in a pre season laying down a playing philosophy, how you want players to build play etc etc. and if you can't pivot quickly into areas where you can make easy marginal gains instead, you're in trouble.
Why have England traditionally been one of the best set piece threats in world football under Southgate? Because he has limited time with the squad so it's an area that's easy to work on with limited time that he has available. Players come into the international camp on a Mon/Tues and are gone by the following Mon/Tues until the next month, if not a 4-5 month break.
You might think I'm giving Southgate a big benefit of the doubt here but there's another country that approaches modern international football in the same way... Didier Deschamps and France.3 -
ollie watkins just nicked the refs yellow card there...2

FFS... What kind of a sub was that Southgate1

Harry Kane is a ridiculous individual

we have two world class players and potentially two others - Trent and Sako. The rest are mid table premier league. The defence is arguably lower than that centrally.
Saka is England's second best player and is clearly world class at this point.1 -
Can see them going to the Court of Arbitration if their boy doesnt get the recognition.Algarveaddick said:Mr & Mrs Og’s boy in there again.If Kane gets that goal, he leads 63-60. But if it is an own goal, it's 62-61 and even more intriguingly poised.

Hopefully it'll put the arguments of the armchair managers that he'd be a great midfielder to bed.

Some bizarre decisions here. And why aren’t the NM tv showing the contentious decision like the handball?1
-
Has this ref won a competition? He is woeful0
-
Another disgrace of a ref. Fucking useless.3

Fans have been begging for him to play in midfield for a long time. He's admittedly got a good pass on him but that doesn't make a good midfielder.

Saka is third. And named Saka.2
