England have had two shots on target 
The technical stuff doesn’t suit the English at all. Blood and snotters, get it to the big man up front works a treat.
Caseys?
Good pint in fairness

Gareth knows
Jude Bellingham is English but he is not of England. He is a fearless, borderless internationalist. He is other wordly.
He is the anti-Brexit who has come to save the lesser, clod conceived Brexiters.
Bellingham showed his class tonight
It’s strange how they never seem to have much swagger about them in big tournaments, for a ‘major’ football nation. The only time you’ll see them strut a little is moments like this, when they have some tiny country at their mercy.
Stay off the poitín
Jude Bellingham is England’s Muhammad Ali.
That was the chance
Fuck
They’ll get another one.
Given the talent they’ve had over the years it’s an abomination that they’ve played such uninspiring football for pretty much all the modern era. Even their relatively successful tournaments in 1990 and 2018 have been turgid enough (bar the 3-2 against Cameroon). I’d say Euro 96’, World Cup 98’ and Euro 2004 are the only tournaments where they’ve actually played entertaining football. Euro 2020 was entertaining because of the narrative.
They were alright in 2002 too
Englands problem is they dont have the manager. A decent manager will organise whatever talent they have but you need a manager that won’t give a fuck about the media and being liked. One who will drop who he wants and not give a shite what is said.
Terry was the man. Taylor was too nice. Bobby was nice and had a bit of steel and was unlucky. Sven wanted to be liked. And so on and so on.
That Dubravka is a poor keeper. His tendency to punch the ball when he could catch it has caught up with Slovakia.

Euro 2020 also gave us a lovely insight into english culture. Huge groups of men abusing foreigners and celebrating taking cocaine en mass.
Good old England
