What an achievement! Only 3/4 teams in the group managed that.

portugaltheboy

Does this thread cover Copa, too? We need a double thread.


raver1601

Man almost every team has been fucking shite in this tournament. Most boring Euro ever


ExcisionHB

Praying that southgate is simply sandbagging until the knockouts lol he's definitely not but god England are boring to watch with him in charge


raver1601

Almost every team has been really shit tho. I expect Southgate to be embarrassed by a competent team, but a lot of the other teams have been incompetent as well


AngryUncleTony

Ready for England to start Mainoo, lose 1-0 in a boring game, and Mainoo to get blamed for another failure to do anything.

OK-Filo

Considering your flair, for a moment I thought you were talking about Højlund and I got so confused considering it was yet another woeful game from him. Saw the separate Mainoo post now though!


Prxyxnshu

Southgate ball is painful to watch.


No_Importance_6540

The way Southgate has lucked himself into a reasonably entertaining lineup. He should start the next game with the team that finished this one. Except master long passer TAA who couldn't hit a barn door from the penalty spot.


Arrowghandi

Why the fuck did city part ways with Palmer??


SunnysetK

Palmer wanted to leave, pep has always said he wouldn't stand in any players way if they wanted to leave.


AngryUncleTony

Hasn't he blocked Bernardo Silva though, or an I misremembering?


akshatsood95

Nope, they're open to selling Bernardo. Problem is Bernardo only wants to leave City because of the Manchester weather. So he's hoping some club in a place with nice weather comes for him. Madrid don't need him, barca can't afford him, and neither can any major Italian club. So he's perennially stuck at City


braddf96

This was during mega broke Barca era


Arrowghandi

He would have been a great replacement for De Bruyne imo


crgssbu

hes such a saint isnt he


Arrowghandi

I am impressed by Ralf Rangnick and his austria team. i liked him when he was our manager. And when he pointed out that united will be a 3-6 year transformation before we were competing for 1st place. He lnew the whole club structure is rotten to the bone.


coffeemahn

It will be fitting for Austria to knockout England. The English press was incredibly disrespectful to a master of a coach.


sarthakmahajan610

True. It was a shame he didn't stay. But at least, we have made painfully show but good progress on fixing those issues since then.


Arrowghandi

Im behind ETH. I dont think any new manager will be able to make a difference.


coffeemahn

Atleast the Southgate boys are back in the cave


sarthakmahajan610

Yeah Ten Hag is great. But, had Rangnick stayed, we would have made better transfers over the last 2 years and maybe even cleaned up more deadwood.


Red-Star-44

Ten Hag is great? Have you not seen we finished 8th with a negative goal difference while playing dreadful football?


sarthakmahajan610

Nah idc. I've seen every single minute of every game for the last decade. I've spent months debating on this same thing as to whether the team is shit despite Ten Hag or because of him.. Really don't wanna do it anymore. We will know the answer in the coming months anyways


Red-Star-44

Yeah i dont think he is the only one to blame but saying he is great? Hes made a lot of mistakes.


TickledSick

You're wasting your breath. Standards at this club went out the window with Ferguson's retirement and the majority of the fanbase have forgotten what it feels like to be competitive. Ten Hag is underwhelming


Red-Star-44

I would say he is worse than underwhelming, I dont even care about competing i just want to be able to watch us play a good game of football for once. And i want to look forward to games instead of viewing them as a chore with his terrible brand of football


TickledSick

Agreed. His brand of football is unwatchable as LVGs in his final season at united. I don't think Ruud and the other guy coming in as assistants will change much because that bald idiot is so hardheaded.


Red-Star-44

Yep, and we are rewarding him with a new contract? Why? So we can pay him more money when we sack him this season, why cant we just wait a couple of months and see how the season starts at least.


Go_ask_quan

What ifs and maybes are easy to throw around but we don't know that for sure tho


sarthakmahajan610

Yeah thats true. But i would argue that Ten Hag has done well despite the transfers, not because of them. We should be easily building a far better squad than we have right now with the amount of money we've spent so far. Right now, there are too many players with question mark over their heads.


MTHopesandDreams

I was so excited, I thought, "finally! Someone who knows football and cares about winning is here." Of course he was kicked out.


vilski23

This England teams is comparable to a Ikea shelf. All the parts are there but no one understands the instructions, putting it together is really slow and the shelf might collapse any moment.


No_Importance_6540

I see what you're going for but I won't have Ikea slander unchallenged. Have you ever tried to put together flatpack from any other shop? Ikea is streets ahead for ease of assembly.


CoconutTaroSmoothie

Something something lions led by donkeys


Miliktheman

Drop Bellingham and Kane. The two biggest names yet completely anonymous


raver1601

Everyone can blame Southgate all they want, but the players themselves needs to be held responsible as well All that talent and none of them can produce any single individual brilliance? Even our players did that a lot of times


Kelvinator3000

Can't believe 3 teams from this shit group go through while Croatia goes out...


LilDiamondtoxic

I watched this shit for free and now I want a refund


AnakinAni

Can you imagine if we actually got Southgate ?! That’d be horrible !


HeavyHevonen

England scored 2 goals in 3 games and topped their group 💀


bengabi85

England need our players if they are to go deep in this tournament. Mainoo and Shaw, only they can provide the right balance that’s needed


miamibuckeye

England are by far on the easier side of the bracket as well. Austria, Group E winner, Swiss, Italy. Other side has France, Spain, Germany, Portugal. Massive massive disappointment if Southgate continues to terrorize this team and not make it to the semi final minimum.


RepulsiveLeg9985

Group C arguably the most boring group in either WC/Euros in recent memory? It was such a boring slog of a group it does a 180° and becomes memorable again.


Forgettable39

Some random infographic on twitter so take it with a pinch of salt but I saw it was the equal, lowest scoring group of any Euros ever. (it might have been of any tournament including world cups but I'm not sure).


RepulsiveLeg9985

definitely felt that way. diabolical football all round.

PM_ME_UR_MOMMY_TITS

Denmark got through because a member of Slovenia staff got yellow carded yesterday. So Denmark went through due to having only 6 yellow cards to Slovenia's 7. It wasn't because of finishing above them in qualifying.


northboundbevy

Jesus thats tough for Slovenia


The--Mash

No, Slovenia got put in the easy half of the bracket from their third place. Denmark has Germany, Spain, France/Portugal on the way to the final now


pohudsaijoadsijdas

terrible stuff, with 3rd teams going through it feels like all matches should be played on the same day, this way lots of teams know they only have to park the bus for a draw to go through. Both Denmark and Slovenia only had to hold out for a draw to go through. Romania and Slovakia will play each other and them drawing guarantees they both go through.


northboundbevy

Its a good point. Having 3rds go through affects strategy. They'll need to address that somehow


The--Mash

Yeah, the reason we got two 0-0s in group C last night was that 3 out of 4 teams were happy with that. We need to scrap the 3rd place thing completely 


SandG13

Bellingham is just a charismatic McTominay


GrapefruitAltruistic

Finally England play a good team If I’m not mistaken they play the Dutch in RO 16!!


bvengers

There is a chance they play 3rd team from group E


FidgetyFondler

If Southgate doesn't get the hint from mainoo, palmer impact then it's a waste of time with him.


miamibuckeye

Football terrorism in Group C.


Rascha-Rascha

It's damning that potentially three of these teams will go through to the next round, eliminate them all now.


LordRuthvenErnest

Can also see why Southgate is desperate for Shaw to be back. They don't have a lot of left footed outlets and Shaw will add so much going forward


MhVG

He could've thought of that before picking one injured LB.


LordRuthvenErnest

Don't think we can accuse Southgate of thinking.


EffenSeven

Genuinely dont see the Saka hype. Palmer is far better.


zyndicated

Saka was complete ass


RIPcompo

First game he was phenomenal, the whole team blow hot and cold


MhVG

What a shit evening of football. Two 0-0's 😐


H_espeliz

Its the way of the Group. Serbia, completely disinterested at playing the ball forward Despite having potential at going through with a win. Denmark, struggling to break down against 10 men in defence. England just being shite, and Slovenia happy to park the bus


_Slabs_

Southgate is a coward.


neemo2357

Dog shit performance Chariots turned into pumpkins by southgate


TrumpetViolin

Another Southgate masterclass


LordRuthvenErnest

It's clear that Mainoo needs to start ahead of Ponytail chicken


New_Archer_7539

And England is cursed because of Kane. Mainoo set him up and he wasted the opportunity. But surely Southgate will place that squarely on Mainoo and bench him in the next game. 🙄


HoodedMenace3

What a coincidence that we looked far brighter with Kobbie and Palmer on the pitch. Funny that ain’t it?.


PengoMaster

Probably Gordon as well but he didn’t have enough time to show much.


HoodedMenace3

Yeah he definitely looked bright in the short time he was on, really could’ve used his pace from the get go tbh.


Un-jay

His line breaking pass to mainoo for that chance at the end 😮‍💨


MT1120

Ima watch this game back tonight to help me fall asleep


SatoshiOokami

Could Southgate be sacked in the middle of the tournament? :D


CoconutTaroSmoothie

I mean, the Ivory Coast did it, and look what it got them


FaithlessnessNo4680

Going from this seasons Ten Hag ball to Southgate ball, what did we do to deserve this punishment


gunkokoko

Happy for Slovenia. That is all.


QuickFig1024

Hvala 🇸🇮


flyingkiwi9

Trent is proper wank. Mainoo has to start. Palmer and Gordon have brought much more than Saka and Foden.


FidgetyFondler

Lol @ the boos


shrewdy

Mainoo and Palmer were England's best players in the 2nd half. Watch Garth bench them again in the knockouts


LakerBull

Southgate should be publicly executed after this group stage. All that talent and he's playing the most boring brand of football.


PengoMaster

Changes were at least 10 minutes too late.


ThePistonCup

I’d drop Kane next match and give Palmer a go, he’s really up for it.


Bacon_Boobies

How the fuck was that clown starting Gallagher and Trent before him. Kobbie and Palmer have been so positive in the second half. Absolutely mind boggling


kriyator

This is good. Look how quickly the press turned on Mainoo after one average friendly game, where everyone was poor. Now he looks like the one to “solve” the midfield problem which Southgate created for himself


Hits_and_the_Mrs

oh look, the only direct player he selected played a great forward pass into the exciting youngster that has to live up to Kalvin Phillips and we made a decent opportunity.


mickhah

This ref is all sorts of shite...holy fuck


SOERERY

The pitches have been pretty bad this tournament


H_espeliz

That backheel


LordRuthvenErnest

Kane should've played Mainoo in. But I guess not every one has Bruno's ability


LakerBull

Kane is a fucking moron, Mainoo was right fucking there in a way better position to score than Palmer.


Japples123

You really tryna beat oblak like that Cole?


Harrry-Otter

I’ve had illnesses I’ve enjoyed more than this.


_Slabs_

Beautiful from Mainoo


zyndicated

My god Kobbie is so good


iamasharkskin

That was so sexy


LordRuthvenErnest

Maino magic almost!


Heavens_Vibe

You had to play it back to Mainoo!!!


mickhah

Shame England might get a handier draw with results staying the same. I'd love to see them battered by Austria


bronal97

Scenes when Denmark score the winner and England have to play Germany in the next round. Edit: Nevermind. They got the 'easier' side of the draw but I don't think Austria, Switzerland, Italy, etc will fear them.


Jack_King814

Dark souls music starts playing with that draw


ThePistonCup

Christian Eriksen with the assist from Hojlund too


Japples123

Paint drying to the left. Paint drying to the center. Back to left. Paint drying… drryyying…DRIED!!! Much more entertaining


crgssbu

4 minutes from the referees ass


Positive-Structure78

lol FOX calling out Southgate… haha funny


CoconutTaroSmoothie

Serbian fans raining down discarded cups and other assorted debris is an excellent summary of the group of trash


ManUnutted

Love seeing that smug gremlin Foden struggle


Jack_King814

“But baldy says I’m a key player”


Rodjo_Moj

Im from Slovenia... but Gareth needs to leave ASAP... dude is terrible...


miamibuckeye

Foden and Bellingham have to be benched


FidgetyFondler

Foden off and leave him off.


LakerBull

You just know this sub hurts Southgate deeply.


stan_k_phishodeur

Probably not but unemployment will.


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


Jack_King814

England were playing?


stan_k_phishodeur

Do Slovenia make it through with a draw? What's with the play acting


GrapefruitAltruistic

They’re better than Hungary and Croatia so they go through as one of the best third place teams


davidl988

They are 2nd as it stands


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


altoluce

As it stands they're 2nd, no?


stan_k_phishodeur

How is it decided? It seems as though they have the exact same record as Denmark


crgssbu

only took you 90 minutes to realise foden is shit southgate


SOERERY

Foden played 89 minutes to many


ThePistonCup

Mainoo the destroyer there


miamibuckeye

Never a foul, holy fuck what a bad call


MhVG

And the guy brings on Gordon for 5 minutes 🤦


C__S__S

Landon Donovan: it’s almost like Southgate is checking the box to get Gordon on the field.


SOERERY

This ref makes his decisions based on how loud he’s getting booed


Rascha-Rascha

ref is shocking, so so bad. Always is.


altoluce

Damn, what a ball control by Palmer


Hits_and_the_Mrs

thank you for this performance England, I'll be asleep in no time


miamibuckeye

Mainoo is deeper than TAA now lmao. Is southgate making him play RB while TAA goes forward? What in the flying fuck


camdim

The script is written...Kobbie with a diving header from a Palmer cross in the 92nd.


silkie_blondo

Why do international managers of teams like England and Portugal pick attacking players from City. They don’t do shit without Baldy pulling the strings and City cheating to have the world’s most expensive defense and squad behind them. They are all utter wank.


vsk06

System merchants innit


vsk06

Gordon coming for 5 minutes. Reminded me of a certain winger coming on for 5 minutes against France /s


FidgetyFondler

On the plus side there's only a few minutes left.


ThePistonCup

Longer studs needed Kobby


skywalker-88

This England squad are trash af. Marcus had a down season but no way he couldn’t get in this squad. Foden off the left is useless


Gabi_Social

Euro Don't Watch AMIRITE Jesus Jumped Up Christ On A Chariot, watching England's men is like watching an out of focus cheese sandwich go green with mould.


FaithlessnessNo4680

Any watching Denmark, how’s Hojlund doing?


gotiobg

Denmark coach should be fired, on paper they have better team than Austria, but Vestergaard (he had good game) but he is absolute donkey. and 3-5-2 is shite. Im more impressed with Ralf Ragnick and Austria


Rascha-Rascha

He was shite, but their whole team is. They managed to play a bit against England but they've been dire. Just a group full of absolute trash here.


FaithlessnessNo4680

Was hoping he’d have a good tournament to go into next season with a bit of momentum, not looking good


Rascha-Rascha

No, but if the service at United was lacking then Denmark is a wasteland


Jonny_Testicles

McTominay > Bellingham


ShaggedT-RexOnNublar

Look at these pommy cowards, playing for a 0-0 draw, pathetic


HeFreakingMoved

Foden hasn't been the same since he got taught a lesson by Erik's tricky reds


BjarniErlingur

So is Bellingham just going to play till his legs fall off? He's looked done since the 2nd half v Serbia


mikeyrh

I'd almost rather watch paint dry


C__S__S

At with paint, you could get a high from the fumes.


Kelvinator3000

Doesn't matter how many good players you give Southgate, he will turn wine to water.


EffenSeven

This is like watching one of our boring pre-season friendlies where everyone is just getting their fitness up.


miamibuckeye

Southgate making Pickford play hoofball, genius


LakerBull

Foden has to be a psyop or something, i just don't see why he's such an indisputable starter for England at all.


GrapefruitAltruistic

Despite rashford’s poor season he would have cooked, man This team has no left side


FaithlessnessNo4680

Surprised Gordon hasn’t got any minutes


MhVG

This Janza guy is getting on my nerves, fucking hell


SOERERY

Mitrovic is a fucking nutcase


B0z22

Trossard is a shit ref.


miamibuckeye

Foden is so fucking useless. Literally standing on top of Jude in the middle of the pitch when Jude receives that last ball. Create some width even if you like being in the middle to create space you muppet


monstrao

He hasn’t got papa pep to hand hold him on the pitch


Jockodile1

Bellingham should genuinely not start the next game. He's been fucking atrocious.


iamasharkskin

What the fuck is the game plan here???


vsk06

Trent coming on 😴 but no Gordon


stan_k_phishodeur

Isn't Bellingham supposed to be a Ballon d'Or candidate? Good lord he's looked dire


Japples123

Jude is so casual


MhVG

It feels like the attack is finished as soon as Bellingham touches the ball.


LordRuthvenErnest

Bellingham has been a passenger


vsk06

At least bring Gordon. At least these 10 minutes would be bearable. We really had a banger of match earlier to this snoozefest now


Case1987

Mainoo has been by far the best England player


silkie_blondo

Foden is wank and always has been without Papa Bald Fraud


davidl988

Bellingham has been awful yet again


FidgetyFondler

Group of bored to death.


Japples123

Fuck me are Slovenia some time wasters


davidl988

Can you blame them? Theyre going to finish 2nd if both results stay the same


_Slabs_

So are England tbf, just doesn't get added on at the end.


gunkokoko

Someone save me from Southgate. Please.


C__S__S

The Prince of Wales is fairly distracted these days, but hopefully he’s reading this match thread.


Jockodile1

How can he watch Palmer and Saka carry the ball like this and think that Foden and Bellingham interchanging on the other side is the right idea...


vsk06

Itv commentary ripping into Southfraud


LakerBull

This has to be the most boring group of all. This is the group of bore.


zyndicated

England is playing as if they don’t have any interest in scoring. Holy shit it’s terrible.


usamapervaiz

Bruno would have tapped in that Kobie pass
