(R16) England (aet)2-1 Slovakia - Sunday 30th June, 2024

[Michael]

Laszlo Benes comes on for Kucka for Slovakia.

[Michael]

Come on England, just go for it now, throw the kitchen sink at them. They are defending deep, so just go for it! Only minutes left to save this, otherwise the favourite for these Euros will be out. 

[OrangeKhrush]

With the game in the balance there is no way he puts Gordon or Watkins on

[Michael]

This is more like it. England showing more urgency and pressing.

Better late than never won't cut it when explaining this. 

[Michael]

This is the toughest team England have played at these Euros so far. England didn't expect this. I'd bring Watkins on. Nothing to lose now.

[Bluewolf]

Lucky we are used to losing when it matters... Same old sad story where we are concerned

[Michael]

England losing all the decisions, nothing going their way, just typical.

[Michael]

Maybe England need to bring on Yaremchuk

[Stan]

Toney on for 3 mins

 

[Bluebird Hewitt]

I'm just stunned that you're 1-0 down and make sod all changes.

Toney coming on now is bloody stupid.

[Michael]

Bellingham scores!! England equalise in the final minute of injury time!

[Michael]

What a beautiful bicycle kick goal by Bellingham! Class is permanent!

Very very very very very very very very lucky.

Good goal mind.

[Spike]

And the worst and most boring shithouse team of the tournament is blessed with a world class goal.

Fuck Southgate

[RandoEFC+]

Bailed out by a moment of individual brilliance. Even if England scrape through this, Switzerland will put a stop to them unless Southgate changes his entire management philosophy in the next few days.

[El Profesor]

! Bellingham! 

There is a lot of talk here in Brazil about Vini getting the Balon d'Or, but depending on how England advances in this Euro, that goal could put Bellingham on top. 

[Redcanuck]

Unbelievable..   Southgate a minute or so away from being tarred and feathered.   Great goal non the less.

Like I said, better late than never. We have to still deliver in extra-time though. Don't want it to go to the lottery of the penalties.

Oi, you're fucking biased innit. I'll smash ur head in m8. swear on me mum. 

[Stan]

Jude is a hero. 

Crap performance, but when you step up like that you know you're class. And in that fashion and style. Right time, right place. 

[OrangeKhrush]

Good time to bring on Gordon now.

Would be so deserving of it too given the Real performances.

I'm biased against shithouse teams that waste my time with the slowest most turgid football, yes.

The more time you give to a bad coach train his team, the worse that team will perform. 

This definitely seems the case with Southgate.
