England v Denmark Official Matchnight Thread 07.07.21

[hertfordseasider]

It makes up for the other decision which was definitely a pen.

Please don't sit back for the last 15 minutes, the Danes are dead on their feet.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Jesus wept, can't take much more of this

 

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

Just showed a slow motion and the first defender's knee knocks Sterling's right leg.

 

[Delfino]

Peter Walton said the first for Kane was a penalty

Just shows you can't ref your own team...

 

[EagleDay]

Dodgy decision but makes up for those against us.

 

[Wizaard]

Grealish off

 

[hertfordseasider]

That is a very negative decision by Southgate FFS

 

[Memphisboy]

Mr Charisma strikes again. Jesus wept

 

[20togo]

got to be tactical.

 

[TimperleyTangerine]

Well, Grealish off.

 

[Sooty59]

Strange sub 15 minutes by the corner flag coming up

 

[Shandypants]

Grealish off FFS

 

[SEASIDE2020]

Over to Pete Walton to talk about upper body contact

If his laptop were to breakdown, I wouldn't take it to PC World if I were him.

 

[Sooty59]

got to be tactical.

Could backfire

 

[TimperleyTangerine]

got to be tactical.

Would he have done that to Mason Mount? I think not.

Seems he can make tactical subs, but only players he doesn’t quite like.

 

[Tangojoe]

That is a very negative decision by Southgate FFS

He's far too defensive for me

 

[TommyHutch]

Over to Pete Walton to talk about upper body contact

 

[20togo]

I don't mind going to wing backs to match up so who else to take off?

 

[JJpool]

Pickford booting straight out of play again....

 

[hertfordseasider]

Parking the bus and filling the team with defenders often ends in tears, I can't agree with that decision, even if we win, it is shockingly negative and is the thing that infuriates me about Southgate. Still COME ON ENGLAND!!

 

[Levi501]

Sensible tactical change for me, with 15 mins to go to a Final. IMO of course.

 

[Sooty59]

I wouldn’t have taken Jack off defend in their half. I really hope we don’t regret it.

 

[Junior_BentsPlatformShoes]

Pickford losing it

 

[Wizaard]

Sensible tactical change for me, with 15 mins to go to a Final. IMO of course.

Depends how it ends. I would have thought Grealish would have been handy to buy free kicks and waste time in the corner.

 

[clappers]

He was saying “shape” a lot in the huddle. Hope it doesn’t backfire dropping back like this.

 

[Briggsysgonagetya]

He's far too defensive for me

Looks like were going through to the final having only conceded once, and that was a direct free kick. It aint pretty, but its effective.

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Is Southgate Italian? Shame he hasn’t got a Gentile

 

[JJpool]

Pickford losing it

How he is the best we have i dont know.

 

[Wizaard]

Is Southgate Italian? Shame he hasn’t got a Gentile

With that nose?

 

[EagleDay]

How the hell does Southgate expect to beat Italy like this?

 

[Wizaard]

It's all a bit hacking and anywhere will do, far too early.

 

[Junior_BentsPlatformShoes]

Don’t understand why we give away all the momentum and sit deep, they were knackered, keep playing as we were and pick out the gaps when they push forward

 

[JJpool]

Very negative setup this....

 

[Wizaard]

How the hell does Southgate expect to beat Italy like this?

One game at a time.

 

[Levi501]

Depends how it ends. I would have thought Grealish would have been handy to buy free kicks and waste time in the corner.

Obviously but Southgates got it right up to now.

 

[20togo]

initiative conceded

 

[Sooty59]

How the hell does Southgate expect to beat Italy like this?

9 at the back

 

[Wizaard]

Obviously but Southgates got it right up to now.

We're 2 1 up with 5 minutes to go in a semi final and the manager is deemed useless.

 

[Junior_BentsPlatformShoes]

He’s obviously confident we can defend for 15 mins

 

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

Luckily Denmark still look tired so we might get away with this negative sitting back unless Pickford has a rush of blood!

 

[SEASIDE2020]

It's all a bit hacking and anywhere will do, far too early.

Totally agree, the Danes had gone and no need for the goal to let them back in.

 

[Wizaard]

When we break why don't we try and get a third? That will kill the game far more effectively than faffing in our own half

 

[clappers]

Conserving energy for the final

 

[Briggsysgonagetya]

Come on, get innnnn

 

[Killingmesoftly]

Southgate genius …motm sterling ..

 

[Mexboroseasider]

Well done Southgate and England

 

[Junior_BentsPlatformShoes]

To be fair, they did a good job of it! Get in!!!

 

[Halifax71]

Scraped over the line despite Southgate's best efforts.

 

[Wizaard]

Job done as once was famously said. Finalists. First time since I was 7.
