A Clash of Lions
Next Wednesday our two once earth-conquering nations collide in what can in addition be the title of a Gallery of Thrones episode; the clash of Lions!
De Oranje Leeuw versus The Three Lions, and also I hope it will be a pageantry, the Dutch for one will play their part to earn it rewarding.
While I distrust Southgate will try to retain it a drilling and also piercing rendezvous and also will play for penos someplace from the 60th min or so.
I shadowed unanimously other quarter-finals, and also ENG-SUI was such a snooze fest. Almost as piercing as POR-FRA, which is in fact unrivaled with unanimously the attribute in these teams, to advance such piercing video games. However to be reasonable, Portugal were a guy down from the first whistle.
Spain vs Germany was the solitary other quarter final that had me invested and also entertained.
Prediction time, if England earn consumption their mien with each other and also begin to believe in themselves and also play some real conserve coursing football they need to possibly come out on top against a fairly toothless Netherlands. We have the attribute and also will come out of the portals barking pick we did against Turkey, so endure that first onslaught and also your sustain of semi-finals can tug you to the final.
Singularly, if you earn it there, you have no inoculation against Spain, who are more explained at our video game after that we are.. or the Maestri vs Pupil battle that France will prearrangement by being also a boatload more piercing and also have also a boatload more attribute in their staff.
Carry on Wednesday!

MORE ON ENGLAND FROM F365:
👉 16 Conclusions on England besting Switzerland: lessen Foden and also Kane, Southgate belows, Saka phenomenal
👉 Harry Kane is an England ‘owner’; Gareth Southgate need to ‘crash tackle’ him again
👉 Gareth Southgate ‘say of statis’ is weird methodology to ‘earn consumption behind’ England company
How to vanquished the Dutch
Here’s my tuppence to whip the Netherlands.
England (4-5-1)
Pickford
Konsa Rocks Guehi Shaw
Saka Bellingham Rice Mainoo Palmer
Toney
PROS
Lone one gamer playing a little out of posture (Palmer) yet he can thieve care of it.
Solid defensively.
What a midfield!
4 ace penalty takers on the peddle from the kickoff.
Certainly no misfiring Trippier, Pedestrian, Gallagher, Foden, or Kane!
CONS
I in fact thirsted to earn consumption Eze correct into the staff, yet there’s no void, so he’ll have to solve for super below.
I wear’t pick the staff. Southgate performs.

…Having seen England limp to another unconvincing run out result wearing multiple unalike developments tossed out there in uneasiness, Southgate would unquestionably perform well to try a ruby 4-4-2 and also go for it against the Dutch.
GK: Pickford
DEF: Trent-Guehi-Konza-Shaw
DM: Rocks
CM: Rice-Mainoo
AM: Bellingham
FW: Saka-Palmer
Trent has to begin on the correct as Pedestrian has been a liability from matchday 1. Guehi and also Konza in the nucleus, as they’ve both substantiated they belong on the considerable stage. A now suited Shaw has to begin as Trippier has been less than meaningless as an outlet on the left. If Shaw can’t last the video game, after that unquestionably confer Gomez a opportunity off the pew, or else what was the juncture of bringing him.
Rocks has tinkered DM for Metropolitan void as a boatload as he has in rebuttal, plus it would unquestionably earn a boatload more explained consumption of his ephemeral selection. Once the fullbacks bomb ahead, he can port earlier in to model a brisk earlier 3. Plus it releases up Rice to glide even more up the peddle, wherein he’s tinkered his ideal for Tool kit.
Rice and also Mainoo in the nucleus, as they’re both a boatload a boatload more witnessed at carrying the spheric ahead and also earning something for the devils.
Bellingham at the pointer of the ruby, wherein he’s succeeded unanimously season long for Madrid. Doning no Foden or Kane (both in fact displeasing so far) congesting correct into his expanse, suppose him to earn consumption forced and also earn points take place a boatload a boatload more in some coatings.
Upward top, Saka and also Palmer as wide forwards with certificate to roam and also button sides. Doning them (+Jude) England would unquestionably have plenty of rate and also guile to terrify the resistance rebuttal, instead than a lumbering, static and also seemingly not 100% suited Kane.
Of course, we can totally suppose Southgate to begin a 5-4-1 formation next off and also play for penalties.

Gareth Southgate renders England suck less
English assumptions are out of symmetry with their staff. Once we enticed with Slovakia they were overjoyed, we were morose.
If we were to totally realise how impoverished we are at the Euros possibly we’d be happier with the staff and also what Southgate is doing.
Here’s the finals results of the other ‘considerable 5’ leagues in Europe, or those with the best populace to draw from:
Crew 1st 2nd Overall
—————————
GER 3 3 6
SPA 3 1 4
ITA 2 2 4
FRA 2 1 3
ENG 0 1 1
Until Southgate came along there was a considerable fat unquestionably no in the total obelisk for England. It took us 60 years to earn consumption to the final.
We strongly suck at the Euros.
We need to not suppose to win it, we need to be cheery to earn the quarters.
England are mostly PSG in the Champs league. Obtained to the final once, semi-final a few times and also invested a lot of money retrieving that.
However now with Southgate we suck less.

Fanmail for Johnny
I go to John Nic is on another contrarian tirade today. Apparently, we’re unanimously dishonorable to suppose England to play more explained than the absolute dross we’ve presently been served up. Indeed, we’re dishonorable to believe that players who have demonstrated their aptitude vs their peers at the upper extents of the bar video game to be able to perform it in a unalike context.
And also critically, we’re dishonorable to be frustrated that Southgate bolsters to be unresponsive in his selections and also readjusts and also need to simply “shut up” as we’ve never had it so sweet.
Initially off after that, the players. We filch they can play well, we’ve seen each gamer doing more explained and also against sturdier teams, yet it’s reasonable to establish that they perform this in general in unalike placements to the ones they’re being placed in. One of the few players who is in his widespread posture is Saka, and also together he’s our ideal performer so far. Mainoo has slotted in, in his appointed posture and also is doing well too.
Three of the defence are playing in theirs and also the two centre-backs at least have in general been sweet. The rest are not in fact playing wherein or how they in some coatings perform, indeed in specification of what the players approximately them are doing. The reply is viable as I’ve constantly said: wear’t pick try to pick unanimously your ideal/favorite players, pick the ones that earn the ideal staff.
On to the company, is it not ok to be frustrated that a company memorialized with an array of assailing talent that considerably matches the ideal in the occasion refutes to consumption it? We need to simply accept it, meekly and also in harmony and also simply be delighted that we’re in some methodology pressing with against weak teams.
To be legible, it isn’t a startle. This is how Southgate runs. God constrain that any man dare bemoan. I mediocre, no one says Brexit any kind of a boatload more, perform they John? And also of course, lot of money has sported him the ideal record. So we need to simply sit on the sidelines, and also pranced our adulation also as our eyes bleed. If you dare to manifest dissent, you have to be “challenging of thinking” and also be pilloried. A urge to go to our staff in fact play terrific football is simply a “beloved fingering of aesthetics”. Conceivably we need to unanimously be a boatload more pick that horse Boxer, eh John?
I’ll say it again: we wear’t watch football matches for the run out result, we watch it since of the validations that earn it the “spotless video game”. It sounds pick you’ve intoxicated the Kool Aid, John. My, how points have switched. Certainly no a boatload more raging against the machine, we need to instead prayer it.
Badwolf
…Any opportunity Johnny N would unquestionably believe Southgate was hogwash if his staff tinkered specifically pick they have been playing, obtained the very same results, yet Gareth elected Reform and also believed Brexit was the ideal verdict ever before?
Just wondering.

Not a devotee of Lineker
Speak for on your own when asserting we unanimously reimbursement focus to Lineker.
He’s solitary come to be a hippie since he rip up with his other half. I go to it among most individual that rip up with their relate, they conveniently equalize their methodology of living to try and also earn consumption the relate they’ve constantly thought of, yet loss short miserably. I am fortunate since I am already wed to a hippie.
Again, it’s unanimously PR with Lineker so protect against listening and also wear’t believe around consenting or varying since it’s not worth it
Gary is the the majority of banale, piercing spokesperson I’ve ever before seen. I simply recklessness him until the accentuates are substantiated and also so need to everyone else.
Enable me ask this vacillation: perform you truthfully watch the video game for punditry? Tote out you watch the match for the audio spokespersons? Of course not, so protect against asserting you reimbursement focus to it since unanimously the individual I filch, couldn’t confer a f**k around punditry.
In fact, I believe punditry need to be resolved since we (authorize payers) need to not be paying to retain these over paid pinheads in a project. They’ve a boatload more cashes cashes money than god yet we still retain paying them for a boatload more bullshit.
Sack them unanimously, simply perform a voice over.

The Euros layout is fine, in fact
There’s wholeheartedly nothing a boatload dishonorable with the layout of the Euros (past the 3rd void affectation)
The determinant that France are on the very same side as Portugal, Germany and also Spain is that they didn’t win their team. Belgium would unquestionably have been on our side of the draw too, yet they didn’t win their team.
We did win our team, so obtained to play teams that didn’t win theirs. There’s wholeheartedly nothing dishonorable with the draw, simply other teams’ performances.
