Scotland, deluded from the start.

All top teams are through.

Which tells us that nobody needs this tournament with more teams.

Scotland are not a top team.

Can’t believe anyone is picking Sane. He was awful last night. Kroos has to be in there.

I think there is a perception of him on here that is overly influenced by how much trouble he has given us. He is undoubtedly talented, but hugely inconsistent. That’s why he became largely an impact player for Pep rather than a trusted starter and why he missed out on the squad in 2018. He’s since gone to Bayern and not exactly pulled up any trees there.

Yeah, he always seems better from the bench than as a starter.

Turkey and Poland from that list. I don’t think anybody realistically expected much else from the rest of them.

I think Turkey was just hyped. Their best player was a 36-year old. :roll_eyes:

Poland was a major disappointment and Russia too.

Yet Germany were about 20 minutes away and Wales qualified as second and Portugal as third.

With just two teams going through that doesn’t happen.

If a format needs changing next time it’s the Copa America.

I still remember that shootout. Shilton didn’t get near any of them.

Still Dave Beasant. Penalties. Did you really have to go there?

Talking post Ray Clemence England goalkeepers… Oh Dear…
Ron Atkinson on commentary… “no way did he mean that”…!
Ronaldinho only went on to do the same thing over and over for the next ten years…

Don’t really get why Seaman got so much grief for that. It was hardly an average free kick.

If you class David De Gea as number one you have to go all the way down to Prickford when finding an English goalkeeper.

You look at who is there this season and though I think Pope is underrated the rest have massive question marks.

Prickford has actually done well this tournament so no doubt he has a mistake coming and with England’s lack of firepower it no doubt will finish them off.

Omg Thiago :joy::grin::rofl:
