Romey 1878 Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Southgate has confirmed that Kane will once again start on Tuesday. I hope he’s reminded him he’s not a midfielder as well. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he’s reminded him he’s not a midfielder as well. I hate that when pundits criticise a player mostly in unison and the manager who should surely have seen the same, decides that he will back the player publicly so that he has backed himself into a corner, now he’s going to struggle to do what’s right for the team because he’s publicly chosen to back one player over the team. Southgate is an idiot not because he intends to play Kane but because he published it when he didn’t need to, when he should be open to all options until the day of the game.

When Southgate first took the job he was prepared to play players that were inform no matter what their perceived status was, now he’s gone for the so called names even when they are seriously out of form. But you’re right he’s doing to show who’s boss. StevO and Hafnia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping - especially since Wales are already through. The two Celtic nations could reach the final - coinciding with hell freezing over.

Still not entirely clear though why two England players need to isolate but none of his team-mates do, surely they've been in closer contact?

Slightly disappointing choice of words though. He might be the best footballer we have in the group but that doesn't make him more important than anyone else.

Hoof_It_Nev Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Why are the BBC saying we're already through to the knockouts? If we lose and Croatia beat Scotland then Croatia will be on the same points as us, with not much difference in goal difference. Have I missed something?

A set number of 3rd placed teams (six, I think?) qualify for the next round. My understanding is that not enough teams can overtake us across the whole tournament, thus we are through. Croatia and Scotland could catch us, if they weren't playing each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been deeper than Phillips and Rice during the game in periods, baffling as he's notoriously known as and out and out poacher. He needs to just stick to the box/the shoulder of the last defender but assume Southgate is asking him to drop back.
