UkeNathStPaul When is the earliest England can play Wales? We could do with an easy game in the last 16.
There aren't many easier games available for England than Wales. Maybe Ukraine?

Westwood52 Ref rant again; OK the sending off decision was probably 50/50:but for the ref to consistently overlook yellow cards for a litany of Italian fouls,was very evident.

AscotexgunnerZip We did ok after Ampadu’s sending off but it was all about damage limitation. In the end a 1-0 defeat is no disaster and we will go into the last 16 with our preferred starting line up. Joe Rodon was immense.
Rodon was easily our best player. Thank god we have him at the back.
Italy look the most impressive team I've seen at this tournament. Even heir second 11 look like they had a extra gear if they needed it. Good team performance defensively, but really needless sending off meant we had to work extra hard and I wish Joe Allen would stop giving needless free kicks away.
Thought it was similar to the France game where we had 10 men and defended pretty well, and created to odd clear chance.......Bales miss was one to forget.

Italy have had a very easy group
Before this tournament started, Switzerland had won their group, Turkey were pipped by France for top spot (having taken 4 points off France) and Italy we looking decent. It should have been anything but easy. We were favourite to be bottom. Italy have also had a huge home advantage in all their games.
What has been difficult for us is we have had to play all our games away. And two of the teams have had home advantage. Even oxf*rd Scotland gets home games.

This is a good point.
Wales are having a great tournament. All the twats trying to take the piss are entirely missing the point.
England are the biggest bunch of wasters in world football. They could win this and the WC and they’d still be massive underachievers.

I think Wales could knock England out fairly comfortably if they met in the knockouts and England played like against Scotland.
England always has talent, but rarely a team or application. Just lots of disappointments.

ZipURZZZZZip I’d like to see Joe Allen at CDM. Drop Morrell and bring in David Brooks.
Haven’t been impressed with either Allen or Morrell so far - certainly your weakest position IMO
Fully agreed. Both struggled today and against the Swiss. Morrell was terrible today.

Was it him with the dodgy pass that led to the red? Seemed to lose it time and time again
Sparse alternatives though, unless Brooks\Wilson can play central but that’ll put a lot of responsibility on the other midfielders being that attacking

It’s all right though because Southgate conducts himself with “class”

England's performances at major tournaments never change, but the conduct of the manager does and Southgate is one to be proud of.
And it's not like there's a significantly better team out there he could have picked. Or a manager who'd do a better job.
England have had one good and one bad performance. That's pretty good by their Finals standards.

I would rather them win the tournament with a shithouse manager like Joey Barton then be shit and have a manager with class
