England had one shot on target at home to Iceland !!

After dispensing with the creativity of Maddison and Grealish …

4 or 5 plus that header at the back post where hapless Ramsdale got very lucky

i don't think it won't be coming home this year either




------------------
Germany - Greece

2-1

a bad first half, and a great second half from Der Mannschaft, good match to learn from

England haven't lost their final warm up game before a major tournament since 1968

Eni Aluko is ridiculous and knows nothing about football

Jill Scott has a big heart and a lovely way about her but I’d go as far as saying she offers ZERO to any football program she’s on ..


Her knowledge is below average ( at best ) plus she’s a people pleaser and won’t say anything controversial ( or interesting) .

I can see a trend …

Truth is these women are just not qualified to to critique or criticise the top male players as their own levels are/were woeful in comparison .

They stick one or two in most panels now and they offer NOTHING plus the guys are too scared to disagree with them as they would get hung out to dry and probably sued .

The male pundits know who the shoehorned ones are. Kelly Dalglish has been on Sky for 25 years and is loved by everyone becuase she did know about football.

Look at how amazing she looks now in comparison to 25 years ago

LFC chairman Tom Werner ��️

"I'm determined one day to have a PL game be played in New York City. I even have the
crazy idea that there would be a day where we play a game in Tokyo, a game a few hours
later in LA, a game in Rio, a game a few hours later in Riyadh."

Newcastle and Spurs played a game in Australia a couple of days after the season finished.

It's obvious that the teams are going to play where the money is in the future

England is also in not the easiest group either


Serbia with powerhouse midfielder Milinkovic-Savic, Tadic


Slovenia with maybe not the most known players out there but where they lack familiarity, they make up for a lot of quality and a real team play + their wonderboy Sesko



Denmark in a good pre-season form now, won their respective friendlies, winning against Sweden with 2-1, and last night a 3-1 win over Norway



would be lols if Scotland goes further than England this tournament

Why on Earth choose the brutally physical Iceland team as the final warm up game ?

They very nearly knobbled John Stones in the opening few minutes

Right

Given our defence is sketchy ( at best ) I wish we had taken Eric Dier now .

All these years Southgate has been adamant about using experienced defenders even out of form ones or even ones not getting regular playing time


Yet Dier ticks all the boxes

Tried and trusted, vastly experienced , ex favourite of Southgate and currently playing his best football in Germany


What a puzzle !


Could Southgate select him if Shaw doesn’t make it ?

Taking an injured player ( Shaw ) never works !!


We tried it with Becks , Rooney and countless others

Sooooo many people suggesting we start Mainoo as cover for our weak defence yet he’s spent the season defending a poor Manu defence and opposing teams apparently had an average of 78 shots on goal / game !!
