Oh Ukraine - 4pts and they go out. They deserved something from that Belgium game - in the last 15 mins. Poor Ukraine.
Copa America related, 17yo Paez got MOTM vs Jamica today. Kid looks lively and has a great cross/delivery of the ball. Also stepped up to score the 2nd goal from a PK. Moises looked in good form as well.
Kendry Páez becomes the second youngest player ever to score in Copa América… …and hits the Cole Palmer celebration as Estevão did, as future Chelsea player.
Cole Plamer is in form and he is the most exciting young player in English football right now. . .and yet he cannot get a game. England Manager: Gareth Southgate Formation: 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 J. Pickford K. Trippier M. Guéhi J. Stones K. Walker D. Rice K. Mainoo P. Foden J. Bellingham B. Saka H. Kane (c), Captain
England scraped by against Slovakia. Obviously England have talented players, but no strategy or tactics or anything resembling a plan.
The problem with the English team is plain to see............its Southgate who is probably, along with Graham Taylor, the worst manager in the history of the English national team (and its had some pretty bad managers in its time). Southgates only previous domestic managerial stint prior to England was getting Middlesbrough relegated!! How on earth did he end up with the England role based on that I'll never know. Just as a side note though, this Euro's have proved that the so called 'minnows' are no pushovers. England squeezed past a Slovak team that had already beaten Belgium and their 'golden generation'.
take that you diving portugal cunnnt pieces of shite... Needed to be said carry on. p.s. The Portuguese who do not play professional football usually some of the finest well mannered people I have met.
take that me for gloating too early, great goalkeeping by Costa their only player who should be diving.
At least England scraped by. The US folded up tents again in the group stage. If Southgate and Berkhalter were thrown in a pit and ordered to fight to the death, they’d both die of starvation.
I was very hard on Caicedo til the last month od season, but he may have been a very astute buy all in all, ...as long as he does not play with Enzo jr.. I
In what world does it make sense to start Mainoo over Cole? He’s a nice young player vs Cole, who had a claim for player of the season.
Happy for him. He’s finally heathy again and showing he’s still a good player. Still hope France doesn’t win.
It’s about balance in the midfield. They want a more defensive player in there next to Rice so he doesn’t have to hold it down himself and Jude isn’t moving from that 10 spot. Cole would need to beat out Foden or Saka.
