Rashford was crap in the first half, every touch went wayward and he had no confidence going forward. I’m embarrassed you’ve spent time going through the thread looking for those.
Didn't get the Welsh game plan really. You only need a win. Surely you go for it from the off, and try and establish a lead to defend rather than sit back and let England dictate play.
Can't wait for this bald fraud of a manager to get roasted by Reddit. Oh wait, he's the Wales manager so he's an absolute saint even though they have been absolutely dog shit apart from 20 mins in the 2nd half against the yanks, a country that specialises in hand egg.
Look, I'm not saying this to specifically hurt Welsh feelings but... was that really the Welsh golden generation? Cos they played some pretty dire football. Old Man Ramsey and Old Man Bale do not a competitive WC team make.
That generation has been and gone, they'd have probably fared a bit better had they not brought their big name players with them at all. Ramsey and Bale have both been burdens.
Well done England! I admit it's nice to see the team so together. Wales was good defence at the start, pressing well but just gave up. We seemed to just let it happen with no bite. England taking advantage and going for the kill.
Oh Gary, my sweet summer child, it's not about playing that way against better sides, it's about learning how to play against better sides that press you, don't sit back and don't give the ball away easily.
Don't know why anyone are surprised they we're shit, it's not like we've got a huge footballing pedigree with our 4 professional clubs in lower leagues and no players who play for big clubs, and no worked cup appearances for 60 years.
Great game England, really well-managed from Southgate too, gave minutes to good players who can be important to come off the bench in the next round (Henderson, Trippier, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Wilson, Grealish) while also giving a confidence boost to Foden and showing that Rashford really is on fire (should be a starter from now). Would love to see us face you guys, it has been some time since we've seen a Portugal vs England in an official tournament ahaha
Just an absolutely disgraceful display from Wales, all tournament. Such a lack of effort. To stand their and applaud the fans after the past 3 games is disgusting
Rubbish effort by the keeper. Ive played with people at pub level better than that. 2 come to mind that were good enough to be professional. Both called Dave. One had pins in his leg from a bad tackle, so went in goal and found out he was brilliant. The other liked his weed too much so never went for trials at the local league club. He was better than their keeper.
I reckon Southgate was playing for a draw because he knew that a draw meant we were as good as through since Wales had very low odds of actually getting 4 against us. Looks shit, but its him managing the group stage carefully.
If i hear any one of our ex footballers say we did well to get there i will scream. Our performances here have undermined the effort it took to get here.
Sadly it was impossible, best we could of hoped for was Iran coming through with us, hoping we go against the yanks again though now they are through, need to show them what it looks like when we play for the win.
He was solid, not groundbreaking but probably just what southgate needed. He was the leader on the field tho, I expect to see more of him this tournament at times when we need to control the pace and keep shape and discipline.
He didn't do anything visibly spectacular, but as the commentators were saying: his main impact was more in the leadership he brought to the midfield. The whole time he was shouting and giving instructions which (in theory at least) contributed to a more organised team.
It's comin home, innit?
Whatever happens, USA have been the best footballing side in the group
What a first place and not playing the Dutch that is for you
Ok cobba 👍
I love the guy but sadly rob page just isn’t a good manager, we’ve played awful every game and have had no game plan going forward
chris😢
Some of my favourite comments from the top brains of England:
How much free time do you have Mrs Rashford?
Rashford was crap in the first half, every touch went wayward and he had no confidence going forward. I’m embarrassed you’ve spent time going through the thread looking for those.
Fuckin hell, Pickford's bird would get a fingertip from these gloves.
Go to sleep you have school in the morning
Does Southgate's nose annoy anyone else or is it just me?
You're not alone. I don't know what about it annoys me, it just sorta does
England look very good but will be interesting against a better team.
Spain have
My god being vindicated about hendo deserving to start and changing the team is gonna make me wank at the mirror
People saying he was a bad sub vs USA clearly weren't watching the game
Didn't get the Welsh game plan really. You only need a win. Surely you go for it from the off, and try and establish a lead to defend rather than sit back and let England dictate play.
You have to get the ball off the other team to be able to do that? 101 football.
Are they interviewing every player? Did someone die or something lol.

Any news on MOTM?
Rashford
Gary Lineker - "Cor, blimey"
what else can you say about jude to be fair
Can't wait for this bald fraud of a manager to get roasted by Reddit. Oh wait, he's the Wales manager so he's an absolute saint even though they have been absolutely dog shit apart from 20 mins in the 2nd half against the yanks, a country that specialises in hand egg.
Should of kept Giggsy till the end of the season
I mean Wales is a country that typically specializes in hand egg too, just a different kind of hand egg
Why are you so angry and bitter? You won, you're through, it's Tuesday night. Chill out haha
Hello from the USA Iran thread
Sorry my Iranian friend, we were all routing for you.
I don’t know why I find it so funny how many awards all US related posts get on here
PULISIC BALL BUSTING TAP IN
Look, I'm not saying this to specifically hurt Welsh feelings but... was that really the Welsh golden generation? Cos they played some pretty dire football. Old Man Ramsey and Old Man Bale do not a competitive WC team make.
Was. The peak was six years ago
That generation has been and gone, they'd have probably fared a bit better had they not brought their big name players with them at all. Ramsey and Bale have both been burdens.
Well done England! I admit it's nice to see the team so together. Wales was good defence at the start, pressing well but just gave up. We seemed to just let it happen with no bite. England taking advantage and going for the kill.
Looking forward to seeing you play in the Euros 2024!
Page just said 'that first half performance was excellent'
Bale back to ⛳️, I mean LA?
Disappointing but proud of the boys. Never thought I'd see us in a World Cup.
Oh Gary, my sweet summer child, it's not about playing that way against better sides, it's about learning how to play against better sides that press you, don't sit back and don't give the ball away easily.
Wavin’ Flag in the background.
Ukraine would've tried atleast and they're in a fucking war
What's Welsh for "No Longer Here"?
Llywelyn the Great
Don't know why anyone are surprised they we're shit, it's not like we've got a huge footballing pedigree with our 4 professional clubs in lower leagues and no players who play for big clubs, and no worked cup appearances for 60 years.
It doesn't matter how many professional clubs you have, half your squad are English rejects anyway.
Sounds a bit sore. I'm sure you'll get another crack at it in 60 years.
Sir Marcus MBappe? 🤔
That ball from Kane really is excellent
Does Rashfords voice get higher the better he plays?
Lineker just said Rashford’s goal was the first direct free kick this tournament?
It wasn’t given as his goal. The other player got it
They did indeed
Michael Sheen in shambles
Truly in the mud
Can tell Rush and Williams just wanted to leave the punditry booth once Shearer etc started talking and bigging up England's chances lol
Imagine if Neville Southall was there.
[удалено]
Where tf’s the post match thread
Wales let down Welsh Xavi
Me after the Iran game: It's coming home, Southgate's a genius, best players in the world done wonders in this system
Oof. You're not gonna like next game
Different story when we play a proper team. When it doesn’t go our way we lose the plot.
Great game England, really well-managed from Southgate too, gave minutes to good players who can be important to come off the bench in the next round (Henderson, Trippier, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Wilson, Grealish) while also giving a confidence boost to Foden and showing that Rashford really is on fire (should be a starter from now). Would love to see us face you guys, it has been some time since we've seen a Portugal vs England in an official tournament ahaha
No we always lose against you. I rate your team but pls stay away.
Also maguire being backed.
Just an absolutely disgraceful display from Wales, all tournament. Such a lack of effort. To stand their and applaud the fans after the past 3 games is disgusting
I'd say applauding the travelling fans is the least you can do when you play very badly
Rashfords face doesn't match the voice at all.
Just wait until you hear Chris Smalling.
England played well, against a Wales side in poor form admittedly, but they had so much more energy and enthusiasm tonight that they missed vs USA.
Playing on amateur mode be like:
Think they're being a bit harsh on the keeper, I thought that was a superb freekick.
Rubbish effort by the keeper. Ive played with people at pub level better than that. 2 come to mind that were good enough to be professional. Both called Dave. One had pins in his leg from a bad tackle, so went in goal and found out he was brilliant. The other liked his weed too much so never went for trials at the local league club. He was better than their keeper.
Yeah, and you've got to remember he was facing a shot that killed one of his teammates in the first half.
Think two bits of awful goalkeeping might have just lost England the world cup.
This guy's stream is so behind he's watching Peter Bonetti in 1970.
The Boxpark lot are so extra…
That one England fan in a crowd of Wales supporters 😂😂😂😂😂
Elite shithousery lmaooo I love it
Absolutely quality, right at the front as well 😂
Reckon the lads were all drunk against the US
I reckon Southgate was playing for a draw because he knew that a draw meant we were as good as through since Wales had very low odds of actually getting 4 against us. Looks shit, but its him managing the group stage carefully.
WWWWWWWWWW

why is there zero new posts wtf mods

Rio Ferdinand should be nowhere near summarising. He’s thick as two planks
He's the Swiss army knife of punditry.
Just a bigger Michael Owen
I wanted Wales to qualify (with England).
Sadly it was impossible, best we could of hoped for was Iran coming through with us, hoping we go against the yanks again though now they are through, need to show them what it looks like when we play for the win.
Gonna have a fantastic Sunday roast before the game as well
I hope that FIFA Official Soundtrack being advertised includes the "you facking cunt!" soundbyte.
Lineker heading to ITV headquarters to get his cut
How in the world did Wales qualify? Is Europe just not as strong as it used to be or what
Ukraine got invaded and couldn't train properly for the playoffs
Fucking hell cheer up Lineker
Lineker doing ITV's advertising for them lol
Job done! Senegal up next!
Got to say. Happy to see Southgate change things at 2nd half
Don't celebrate just yet lads. The table has yet to be adjusted for passion and number of bucket hats worn.
See you all in 2026, ya English fucks
not likely on this evidence lol
2024 yet mate, see you there!
Doubt it
See you in 2024 I should imagine
Be glad to send yous back home to your sheep nice and early again ❤️
See ya next time neighbour 💪
You'll be lucky
I'd feel much worse if we played inventive willing football and went out unluckily rather than this drab stuff.
Senegal, you looking at my bird?
Time for England to beat the ITV allegations
Why does he keep saying "finals"?
Because that's what a tournament (i.e. not qualifying) is called, the finals.
Oh God, England are on ITV this Sunday.
Vauxhall advert flashbacks
Wales never stood a chance
god damn wales are shit
The Senegal game is on ITV so fully expecting a scrappy draw and then scraping through on penalties
[удалено]
Optimistic! I reckon a shock defeat
gg wp wales, see you in another 64 years 👍
A* performance?
Best thing since sliced veg.
Bye lads. At least you got a point
Wales the second worse team after Qatar for me.
Might be Wales for me, at least Qatar scored from open play
Agree
Bellingham > Pedri
Good to see England pressing high. That's how these players play in the premier league. They should do it more for the national team as well.
Coming home then init
Manchester 3 Wales 0
Did Henderson have a good game?
Yeah. Mostly just provided width, helped win the ball back and then helped progress it when Rashford moved onto the RW
He was solid, not groundbreaking but probably just what southgate needed. He was the leader on the field tho, I expect to see more of him this tournament at times when we need to control the pace and keep shape and discipline.
