Should win. Not comfortable being expected to win (which I think is the general vibe for the game), but trust Southgate to have the players in the right mindset. Don’t let yarmolenko cut inside and jobs a good’un Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Batch on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 08:59:22 when it gets to quarter finals I put it chances as 50/50.

Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 09:45:19 Just realised we could have gone to this. Never entered my head EU residents would be allowed to travel to Rome.
Anyway, my foolproof prediction - based on the number of wasps I killed waiting for a meal yesterday - is a win by the margin of 4-0.

Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Nemo on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 12:14:13 Excited to see Sancho. Hope we see Mount back in the side and maybe Bellingham ahead of one of the DMs on yellows, but nothing too experimental.
Professional performance and a win please, nothing too interesting.

Quite similar to Haze and only £2 for 4.Heart says comfortable win, head says tetchy 80 minutes until someone scores, probably Ukraine. Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Nemo on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 16:21:04 Yeah Taurus is very decent for the price. Haze for me too, very summery.
Denmark 1-0 up already. Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: bigbobjoylove on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 16:27:04 As cheap(ish) cider goes I like Strongbow's cloudy apple.

Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Nemo on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 17:47:14 Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Phillips, Rice, Mount; Sancho, Kane, Sterling
Good to see Mount back, would maybe have swapped out one of the more defensive minded midfielders who are on yellows but happy enough with that. Excited to see how Sancho does. Understand the calls for Grealish from the start but think he's such a good weapon against tired legs Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 17:48:33 Bit harsh on saka
Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Nemo on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 17:48:48 Bit harsh on saka Got a knock apparently. He's one of the three not on the bench. Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 17:50:41 That makes sense

Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Nemo on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 19:02:20 Gwaaaaan. Huge goal, means they can't sit in a bank of 5 now.
Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: DiV on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 19:02:47 Style advice is hardly my area, but there can't be many people whose face has benefited as much from a beard as Gareth Southgate. I’ve had this thought. Work colleagues mentioned France 98 when all the England players kept sneaking song titles into their interviews and there is one of Southgate and middle age has been kinder to him than his 20s & 30s were Even crossed my mind that he might have had some surgery done Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Nemo on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 19:22:01 Southgate lurking on the touchline in a white shirt and navy trousers is repeatedly fooling me into thinking we have an overload down the left.
Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 19:22:52 I was wondering if Shaw was playing right wing back for the Ukraine
Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Nemo on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 19:30:39 Bloody hell Rice caught that well.
Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: 4D on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 19:39:44 Come on England
Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 19:40:19 We're having one of our wobbly moments
Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Arriba on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 19:42:54 I was wondering if Shaw was playing right wing back for the Ukraine Makes a mistake and immediately redeems himself. Involved in both goals the other day. He's quality. Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Nemo on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 19:46:25 Decent half. Ukraine look a different side since the substitute, much more attacking and they look brighter for it but also gives us much more space to counter - no coincidence Sancho has had two or three bright moments in the time since.
Half way there. Come on England. Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 19:50:10 Makes a mistake and immediately redeems himself. Involved in both goals the other day. He's quality. I can't disagree just like him to pass forward more than backwards Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Nemo on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 19:53:18 I can't disagree just like him to pass forward more than backwards Players don't make these decisions themselves, England's tactics are clearly that they'd rather take the safe pass across the defence than a risky one forwards. We play slowly and wait for an opening, it's the tactics of the side (and probably sensible in 28 degree heat) not a left back going rogue. I'd love to see us play balls out crazy attacking Keegan football but this really isn't the time. Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 19:54:33 Based on your theory wouldn't Walker be doing the same
Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Nemo on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 19:58:02 Based on your theory wouldn't Walker be doing the same That would be Walker who set up their best chance with a dodgy back pass? It's also an asymmetric formation, Sancho is tucking in much more than Sterling is on the other side so Walker will play differently. Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Jimmy HaveHave on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 19:58:58 Yes he made a mistake but also been superb attacking down the right wing.
Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: 4D on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 20:02:03 Shaw again :pint:

Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Stef Troll on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 20:13:15 Ukraine are a lot like Swindon last season. Lack any attacking creativity and the game plan was to keep it tight as long as possible and try and nick a goal where possible. England’s class came through.
Denmark will be a different proposition as they have players who can attack. I think home advantage will be key for England and a final against Italy looks likely. Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: 4D on Saturday, July 3, 2021, 20:17:57 Fuck me :D

Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Barry Scott on Sunday, July 4, 2021, 08:31:25 Really enjoyed that. I’ve been quite critical of Southgate, but he got the formation and the players right and properly put critics like me firmly I their place. It’s why he’s a football manager and I’m not.
Also saw a montage thing of him on Twitter earlier yesterday which, strangely, almost immediately made me love him a little. Game on Title: Re: Inglund v Ukraine Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, July 4, 2021, 09:33:47 Much better performance from the whole team, although the defence still at times worries me, but the way they cover each other shows they all know their roles and can be there when mistakes do happen.
Easily way better than the German performance and in a QF too. As Barry says I have been critical at times of Southgates tactics but yesterday he got it right and that was one of the most polished performances at knockout stages I have seen from an England team. Possibly only matched by the Dutch game in 96 and we conceded a goal in that game.
