England are in the World Cup semi final Just goes to show that proper team management triumphs individual talent.

Guest Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Only saw the last 2 minutes as I just got home, but I wanted to adress something. Those who say England have not been tested, could have a point but at the end of the day they have put on good performances for the most part. You can't say they don't deserve to be here. Sure if you give them a Brazil or a France in the quarters they could go out, but its all tactics. Losing to Belgium to have a better chance to get to the final was a smart move and its going to help them gain momentum. Nothing wrong with it. Now Belgium on the other hand I have huge respect for. They chose the tought route and are overcoming it. 1 match away from the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been several times he's had players alongside him in better positions but taken it on himself and wasted it. For the most part we are getting bodies around him, but I just don't think he sees them because he lacks composure. 26 goals with 13 assists last season ..what does he lack again??

With a different manager you wouldn't have the likes of Maguire, Pickford or Trippier. He may not be inspiring tactically but its not always about that.

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 England haven't scored in open play at a knock out game since Euro 2004. Who cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Think sterling did well, very difficult to score that chance he had. Still very set piece orientated but it worked, Sweden were appalling. Big test will be the next game but happy people are enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted July 7, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted July 7, 2018 Before this tournament Henderson was a redshite bastard and I hated numerous other England players including Alli and Ashley Young but right now I love every single one of them. This is what international football should always have been for us young English folk. As for Pickford, I'll actually be more gutted if he leaves us soon than I was when Rooney left. That lad is absolute class. Im genuinely interested from a psychological perspective whether I still hate Henderson, Alli etc. when we get back to the domestic season.

As someone who knows how great international football is, hopefully you can get used to that situation. Happens with Spain all the time especially with the whole Catalonia issue.

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Eng being good on setplays isn’t a coincidence. Southgate has learnt from basketball, he has looked at how offensive players not in possession can create space around the hoop in Basketball. Shows you research and training can make a huge difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
