My landlord of my local village pub forgot it was on so did not open until exactly 5 o clock. It meant most people had gone elsewhere. We therefore watched the game on a large screen in a mostly empty pub . Lovely. Just to be clear he is a massive rugby fan and a poor businessman. Nice guy though.

As there is no mention of football in the thread title, I'm gonna say we absolutely spanked the Windies last night.

Watkins looked good when he came on.

We've had our wake up call and we're still top of the group. Looking forward to a new more determined mindset to go with the undoubted quality on Tuesday - and as Peter Beardsley so eloquently put it, "express yourself"

We all have a tendency to over analyse individual games...it's even worse when it's England as the media get fully stuck in as well.

But, it is just one game. We're still, objectively, one of the best teams in the world, and we're 3rd favourites to win the whole thing, only slightly longer than France and Germany.

For some reason the 2nd group game has been our achilles heal in recent tournaments (awful 0-0s against Scotland and the US) but both times we bounced back with victories and improved performances. I've no doubt we'll do the same again this time because player for player we are miles better than Slovenia (apart from Oblak who's class).

We may acrually only need 2 really good performances to win the whole thing, given our relatively favourable draw. Have faith, we can still do this!

I hope things work out well and England meets Türkiye at semi finals, instead of France. I am sure England will be there though. :)

And as Jimmy Hill commented in Mexico '86 as he completed his hat trick v Poland:

"Lineker!!!
Ho!! Ho!! Ho!! Hooo!!"

Argentina were dicked by Saudi Arabia in the last World Cup and still won the lot.

As such, the only logical conclusion from England drawing with Denmark is “ITS COMING HOME”

We are top of the group and so far playing "well within" ourselves. Despite what Southgate says about Philllips, were are really missing Luke Shaw on the left. Never expected to say that.

Change the words ‘Netherlands’ or ‘France’ to ‘England’ and I’m now listening to everyone saying it was a poor game, disappointed, etc. It’s tournament football! Every game is not going to go the way the fans/press want it to go.

Luke Shaw is a fantastic player . Praying he’s fit for Tuesday mins then ready for knock out stage

England have the same number of points after two games as France, who seem to be media favourites despite only scoring one goal - and that was an OG.

“If we can scrape a draw…”

Just a polite reminder that this is a thread for positive comments. ? ?

In that case, what will the positivity level be like when we win the tournament? ??

Have a look at the first stage results and review of 1966.
1986 and 1990 looked gloom and doom after two games, slow start in 1996 and we were still there in the semis.
As the late great Donald Sutherland or Oddball once said “Don’t hit me with them negative vibes so early in the morning “

Fair enough, perhaps a joke one step too far. Though you might want to have a word with the likes of Neville, Lineker and Shearer. Very happy to condemn negative media coverage when they’re not benefiting from it

My hope for tomorrow : Kane completes his hat-trick on 60 minutes and is replaced by Toney who adds a fourth. In the post match interview, Kane is asked if he has a message for Lineker, Shearer, Rooney and Neville, and replies "yes, fcuk 'em".

Please no negative posts in here , can we have one thread that isn’t sullied by the D and G lot please ?

My team for tomorrow would be :
Pickford
Walker Stones Guehi Shaw
Rice Wharton
Saka Palmer Gordon
Kane

Giving Foden and Bellingham a rest, both have had one good game, one poor one, and Palmer deserves a start. I know Gordon is unlikable but again deserves a go.
Result : 4-0 to England (see my other post above)
