Two shit teams, should make for an absolutely terrible match.

Two shit teams, should make for an absolutely terrible match.

It's England's to lose if they don't bottle it.

 

[StevenF1919]

It's England's to lose if they don't bottle it.

Nothing would make me happier than England absolutely destroying them.

 

[JaymzB]

It's England's to lose if they don't bottle it.

So Germany go through then.

I wouldn't worry, the English have never wasted an opportunity.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

So Germany go through then.

Yup probably on penalties

 

[Adele Dazeem]

If England want people to take them seriously, they need to make quick work of this fragile and inconsistent German team.
So far Southgate has shown his ineptitude with his selection, so it's anyone's guess how this one goes.

 

[East Coast Bias]

ET incoming. Followed by a mix of "this is a tremendous match" and "this is absolutely shit" all flooding at the same time

 

[Eye of Ra]

i think the brits wins this no offence to cgf

 

[Ceremony]

cgf if your mob don't beat these mutants I'm holding you personally responsible

 

[Evilo]

I expect Germany to win this.
Tacs are wrong, players are playing badly, but surviving this group will give them a new found confidence.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

If Southgate has any kind of footballing knowledge he'll play a back five, therefore take our wingbacks out of this game, and happily watch their wingers score a couple for an easy win.

But, it's England and we might just have some fun and take it to penalties...

 

[Havre]

With Sane playing this will be an easy win for England.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

With Sane playing this will be an easy win for England.

Sane might have been the worst performance I've seen from anyone in this Euro, and that includes the entire Turkey team and heck even that Slovakian keeper did save a penalty IIRC.

 

[al secord]

We're gonna score one more than you.

 

[serp]

It's probably better for Germany to face a team that isn't purely defending and counter attacking because that very much is the big vulnerability. The English team is not some world beater and hasn't exactly looked good in their own group either.

 

[Bondurant]

England will lose on PK's as England does.

 

[robertmac43]

This side of the bracket is much nicer to be on. The winner of this game will be looking to go to the final.

England could defend and counter attack. Germany would be incapable of not exposing their back three because Germany will play midfielders who are drilled to move up high in possession.

England seems to have nice brackets all the time. WC was the same.
And they play home too. UEFA really trying to help...

They could but i doubt they will. Southgate is not really the kind of coach who adjusts to the opponent and i'm pretty sure the English want to play a ball dominant game at home.

 

[Venkman]

Wouldn't be surprised if Southgate changes to 3-4-3 although he hasn't used it since the Nations League games.

Kane
Mount Sterling
Shaw Rice Phillips James
Maguire Stones Walker
Pickford​

 

[AB13]

Germany have looked strong tactically when I have watched them. I do believe England edges this out though and wins a close game. Both lineups are unpredictable.

 

[Dog]

3-1 loss to English they stink against the Germans. Last time they did anything was 1966. In 1968 they were 3rd overall with only 4 teams playing. English football is like the Leafs in which both teams did squat since the 60s.
