Don't know whether its because I despair at the state of the country or struggle to really like any of these posing peacocks who play for England but I no longer get massively invested in England games. Will be watching and cheering on for sure but I can honestly say I was more pumped for QPR v Leeds than I am for England v Denmark. When I look back on how excited I was when Michael Owen burst onto the international scene or when Beckham scored some of those amazing free kicks or Gaza in Euro 96 to how I am now its night and day with my support for the England team. It also just really frustrates me that other teams can look so fluent - even Hungary in getting beaten by Germany were passing the ball around in patches that was incredibly easy on the eye - but we are almost always less than the sum of our parts. I just look at someone like Foden and I can't help loathing the bloke. Probably very unfair on my part.

Think this is fairly normal Stainrod I’m much more passionate about Rangers than England
Think most fans of most clubs are the same
Dont worry your still normal mate 😎
If you offered me Rangers to be promoted or England to win the Euro I would choose Rangers

TAA was not that great on the ball last game
Our left side is rubbish atm
Need a proper left winger
Side is un-balanced

I was a huge fan of England when Les Ferdinand and Gary Lineker were in the team. Not so keen now to be honest. Maybe time to change my mind if Eze comes on.. I hope so...

Add stubborn to Southgate's managerial traits. 5 minutes in, TAA has lost the ball twice, we look like the exactly the same unbalanced team of the second half v Serbia, which is no surprise, because it is the same team.
What's his thinking? I'll dent TAA's and Foden's fragile egos if I drop them?

Great. 1-1. What has TAA actully done so far? We seriously need a proper midfielder on the pitch.

I've steered clear of criticising GS. Not any more. What the fuck is he telling these thoroughbreds? "When you go 1 up start playing like donkeys"

TAA is a waste of a shirt. Foden doesn't seem to know what to do. Where's the cohesion? Southgate has incredible players at his disposal and he manages to produce this unbalanced 11, and he didn't fucking learn from the last match! Ridiculous.

"When you go 1 up start playing like donkeys" Almost looked like we've gone one-up and then sat back to try and defend the lead for 70 minutes! Wonder if it's just player nerves/mentality or the game plan... Or arrogance/complacency. Whatever it is, we've looked proper shite since we scored. AWFUL 'clearance' to give Denmark possession just before their goal, but what a beautiful strike.

Foden decision making is not great yes, should have put Kane in but still a top player in the right role. Not stuck out wide.

Foden decision making is not great yes, should have put Kane in but still a top player in the right role. Not stuck out wide. plays on the right and the left for city without a problem and centre when needed. He’s better player for city as better quality around him. Always find in England shirt he passes when he should shoot and shoots when he should pass. Super player love watching him but plenty excuses being made for him in England shirt in warmups and tournament. If your as good as people make out show us.

This is easily the worst game I've seen so far in the Euros. Denmark - fortunately - have been as shite as England. But seeing Gallagher on again, it's like England of old. And he's been shit. We've got so much talent in all areas. Why not Mainoo or Wharton? If we survive this we better see wholesale changes for the last game. Shame for Eze as he's got no chance to shine in this situation.
They're just showing Cole Palmer on the bench. What the fuck is he doing sitting there. The most in-form striker next to Watkins and he hasn't seen a minute yet.
Alan Shearer's frustration sums it up.
Shitegate.
