Panna King Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Lots of rumours on Twitter and now the BBC that the game tonight is being postponed as one of the Ukraine players has covid; their left-back, Tickili Chestikov.
Michael Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Well with Schick's goal, the Czech Republic are now right back in this. Schick is another who has had an excellent Euros, what a key player he is for the Czechs!

ToonArmy Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Why the heck no Grealish? Also is an hours build up really necessary BBC?
Michael Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Mount and Sancho come into the starting 11 for England, the sort of luxury only a few countries can afford. Declan Rice and Phillips will carry on doing hard running and ball winning in midfield. For Ukraine, they make one change from their last match. Mykolenko starts in place of Stepanenko. While it looks like Zinchenko will move into Stepenenko's position in the holding midfield position in midfield, while Mykolenko will play on the left flank where Zinchenko played in the last match. A bit of a strange decision, given how well Zinchenko played out wide and how well Stepanenko did in defensive midfield, but I guess Shevchenko knows best.
Smiley Culture Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 I won’t knock Southgate, he got it right against the Germans. Interesting to see how this goes with that team selection.
Spike Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 I expect a boring game with a deflected Harry Kane goal in the 92nd minute
6666 Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 I do prefer this system but it does set up the narrative that as soon as we decided not to be defensive, we got knocked out.
The Käiser Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 If England do not make the final, is the tournament for the team deemed a success? or is knocking out Germany the equivalent of making the first tournament final since 66?

Aye, stick with what you know at least first half. Got 5 subs to make in second to make things more “adventurous”

Not unless they make the final in my honest opinion.
Redcanuck Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 9 hours ago, The Premier Steve's said: Couldn't get a game for England. Signs for Man Utd, gets in starting line up immediately. Has more to do with transfer being done. His mind is clear, no longer worried about the transfer anymore, and fired up to prove he's worth the transfer fee. Would have started who ever he was transfered to,

Some useless trivia to perhaps boost some confidence: 1) every time England beat Germany in a knockout game they won the championship 2) since the turn of the century, whoever beat Germany in a knockout game reached the final at minimum 2002 Brazil champions 2006 Italy champions 2008 Spain champions 2010 Spain champions 2012 Italy finalists 2016 France finalists 2020(21) England
Michael Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Ukraine keep their 3-5-2 formation, but no Malinovskyi in the team or bench because of injury is a big blow. I expect Sancho and Mount to have a big match.
The Käiser Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 One huge difference in the current English squad is Pickford as the keeper. think he really brings confidence in the back even if it goes pk, he’s good to make a save. with respect, past England keepers didn’t exude the same confidence
Eco Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Wow - I thought he was offside at first, but Kane puts England ahead. 1-0
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted July 3, 2021 Subscriber Posted July 3, 2021 well that was quick. I guess Kane might as well show up at this point in the tourne.
Bluewolf Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 The keeper knows he can use his arms right??? Why did he not try and get some gloves on that??
