I was going to post at half time that the comments on Shaw were bizarre. Hes been one of our best players in the tournament for me. If you were to criticise anyone at half time, maybe Walker after a couple of shaky minutes (one bad giveaway then waiting for Pickford when it was never his ball). A g...

No, no, no. We’ve been dominating apparently

Domination

KRBFC

57% possession in the middle to back 3rd isn’t domination! Mrs BoF, a non football fan just said “why do Man Citeh always thrash your lot yet we can’t do that to the Ukraine”…… It's complete one sided domination, they haven't even looked remotely threatening. At least your missus seems to know the ...

So you’d rather see a 1-0 win over a 2 or 3-0 win? You’d rather see slow tempo patience, creeping forwards ever so slowly? Versus high tempo attacking when the time is right to take it to our opposition? Just checking, as you’ll notice I never mentioned who’d be in the semi final. We are dominating...

I’m looking forwards to 85mins of negative non attacking football after that start.

You do that mate, I'll look forward to seeing England into the semi finals.

Gilmour has looked a good player when I've seen him play but I think i've seen him play twice, I don't think he was incredible against England like some are making out though.

Two of the brightest prospects in Europe now named a couple of years back. Fair play, KRBFC Although for balance I did say ''Only a matter of time before his latest signing Solanke starts firing too, looks an excellent prospect and potentially a bargain at £16-£19M with the way the market is.'' :lo...

Anyone who played football manager knew he was a prospect at the time.

I do not play Football Manager, I was an LMA Manager/Champ manager nerd tho in my childhood!!
I just saw Doku play in a tournament for Belgian youth side

KRBFC

I'm bored of us signing naff over the hill British players, wasting a ton of money in the process, i'd rather we just gambled on a 16 year old kid and I know just the guy, Jeremy Doku, young Belgian winger, 16 year old, been in and around the Anderlecht side, saw him play for Belgium's under 17s, d...

The referees allow this stuff, stop and start game, it's gone downhill fast.

KRBFC

Expect Phillips to be rested as he's on a yellow which expires if we reach the semi. Henderson to start instead. Kane is a funny one.... Do you play him and hope he now plays through having scored, or take the chance to rest him and play DCL as target man with a tight 3 no10s behind him? Why would ...

KRBFC

Knockout football anything can happen really, most of the time the best side doesn't win the tournament. I don't really consider knockout football as failure if you don't win, it's just how the cookie crumbles.

It was probably a red card in the modern day football where everything is a foul, it's incredibly soft but that is football in 2021. unfortunately

Well I’m not wrong because a red card was given by a professional referee and his decision was agreed with by a former professional ref. By all means disagree as it seems I’m in a minority, but if anyone’s wrong it’s you.

Peter Walton agrees with everything tho

KRBFC

Soft red card that, Peter Walton is absolute clown

KRBFC

Have the womens team signed any professional players yet? I thought maybe ALK would've brought in a couple of well known women players from the US to boost it's progress quickly.

Apparently signing for PSG Football really is just a job these days, players will play in sh!te leagues in front of small crowds with very little worldwide interest in the league/teams just for the money.

He certainly made a regulation tip over the bar look far more spectacular than it needed to be.

He barely saw it and it was coming fast, very good save.

I also forgot to mention, if relegated we still have to pay transfer fees which I think are now paid over the length of contract.

KRBFC

The issue with a relegation, is which players (and management) are prepared to stay and seek promotion, we should be ok if we did what we did last time and come straight back up with a largely stable squad, beyond that it quickly gets difficult - this is where the non-tv revenue is so important - i...

KRBFC

Even though I don't think we'll be relegated whilst SD is in charge if the worse does happen will there be any back up plan in place, such as a relegation clause on SD's contract? Also, it's fairly obvious that TV revenues and marketing opportunities will pretty much dry up outside of the Prem. Oth...

probably well over £40m with bonuses and that figure was over £100k pw not £100k pw Where is our new found wealth coming from? £12m+ on a new player to start the window, £100k+ a week for Dyche on a 5 year deal, club in debt and having to pay off £7m a year interest.

I think we're there for the taking when we play a good or even half-decent side

Why do you keep saying this? We just played Germany, Croatia and Czech Rep not San Marino, Andorra and Kazakhstan

KRBFC

We're NOT "making them look ordinary. We made Scotland look as good as us and we know they only have a couple of decent players. If Scotland had anyone who could finish they'd have beaten us by a goal or two. And all it took was running around more than us. Today, we've secured a good win. But we a...

I've already answered that - it's not the style I object to. It's the quality of organisation I see on the pitch. I think we have much better squads than all of the teams we've played. Considerably so in most cases. 1-0 is the same result as 5-0. But five goals are better than one goal. "keep hatin...

When you say "let it go" are you suggesting I change my opinion simply because of the passing of time in spite of there being no good evidence to suggest Southgate become a better a manager? I nearly changed my opinion of him when he appeared to have the ability to inspire good performances but the...

With respect to people with contrary opinions, I think Southgate has shown an excellent understanding of his players personalities, backgrounds and capabilities. There’s a lot of tension in the media spotlight, there’s a key issue with the way racism and identity is understood by england and eng-er...

And so strange that Germany were able to score 4 against Portugal, Croatia 3 against Spain, the Czechs twice against the dutch. Also odd that we've ended up with the second lowest xG against despite all these chances against us. and for apparently such a poor quality of group, we were very close to...

On which side? I'll happily be proved wrong but I see nothing in the style of football to suggest he's a good manager. It's very tricky to "prove" this at international level. England managers traditionally proved themselves beforehand. The only exceptions to this rule I can think of are: Apparentl...

Was just wondering why he never took free kicks for us…

He definitely had a spell taking them, he used to do the old Didier Drogba dipping swerving side foot technique but they never went in

Wallace was good with freekicks though.

Nah. We were great for each other.

Yeah we were a great platform for him to develop and gain experience, top player. Now he's taking corners for England, was he our corner taker? I swear he wasn't but my memory is shocking. I remember him scoring 1 free kick for Burnley in a cup game.

We were incredibly fortunate to have a player like Tripps looking back
