    England are just employing the age old All Black tactic of keeping their powder dry until the finals

              Switzerland 🇨🇭 2 vs Italy 🇮🇹 0

              🙂

              Italy were utterly dreadful. But we were pretty damn good.

                        @MajorRage I know nothing about football, but how much time in the endzone do you need?

                          “It’s a funny old game Saint”

                          Down and almost out without raising a finger then super Bellingham goal and Kane shows up in extra time and it’s England 2-1 up and likely to progress

                          Slovakia will be kicking themselves
                          Opportunity lost

                            Players play & perform for some of the best club sides in the world

                            Spend plenty of time together as a team but look like they barely know each other

                            Lack of basic skills and vision doesn’t allow them to freestyle when they’re up against it

                                I rate Switzerland a chance. If they like they did vs Germany and Italy they’ll be a good chance.

                                  England have showed exactly zero sign of playing to their potential, so I rate Switzerland favourites

                                          Wow, if you want to watch a team just pass between their back three all day then watch England. Devoid of any ideas of how to break down the formation in front of them, but every punter and commentator seemingly could see it. How could a team of champion players be so bad as a team?

                                          Part of me feels they can only improve and with those players you would think they would have to, but they are so far off right now. Its like watching an old episode of Fawlty Towers. The irony is though, they are still there and Basil is saving his moves for the Germans. (note I do know the swiss are up next)
