England: Is this not where they want to be?

[PS]

I don't think Southgate is devious enough to play for a draw, but I do think he's negative enough to play to avoid defeat. And that is such a waste of the talents available to him.

I'm looking forward to watching Italy again. I'm not looking forward to watching England again.

I'm looking forward to Portugal v Germany

Aye - ha'way Portugal ! Blitzkrieg the feckers...

going through as second is the best route right?

No. We’d end up playing France in the quarter finals

Germany are odds on to win but I fancy Portugal in this one and at the very least we should see a bit more of Germany's game

Southgate hasn’t got the brains to play silly beggars looking for a tactical second spot.
He struggles with absolute basics so the long game mindset is beyond him.
Frankly he’s a bit dim - and boring .

I wonder. Traditionally they do start slow then start to build up that German momentum - but they really look poor this time.

It's all down to the final game and any team can still qualify...the pressure is all on England. The Czechs will certainly play for a draw to finish top and England won't/daren't risk a draw because you can bet your arse that there will be a winner between Scotland and Croatia.

If we draw we’ll finish second regardless of what happens in the Scotland - Croatia game

Need to be lions not kittens, we should go out to win every game tbh.

Great post, Loppy.
That ought to be printed out, and pinned on the dressing room walls, before their next game.
