Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 13, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2018 Wales has a population of about 35 but made it to a semi because of one of them. Belgium is hardly massive either. With all those beautiful women, I'd expect Sweden to regularly make it beyond a semi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 15, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2018 Now the dust has settled, truth is France and Belgium would both have beaten us if we had got to the final and I fully expect France to hand Croatia a new one today too. Of the other teams who did qualify, I think Spain, Germany, Brazil and Mexico would have given us problems - but I would give us every chance of beating them. We’re not the best team in the world but I feel we’re as high up the list as we have been over the last 10 years or so. Our problem now is getting a better squad together. When you’re back up players are Rose, Jones, Delph etc - that’s poor if you have designs on winning championships. Hopefully these young guns coming through will get game time at their clubs over the coming seasons (or loan them to Bolton and we’ll give em a go) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 The Young/Rose position will be Ryan Sessegnon's very soon, the lad is a star in the making, Add the OX and Lallana into the midfield options too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles behind other nations my arse SVC Sorry, but we're in danger of getting over hyped to fuck again I like Southgate and what he has done and the cut of his jib, However I'd say we are still miles behind the top nations (which I would say are France, Belgium, Spain and Germany) OK our kids have done well, but it's a big step up from 17 upwards, we could quite easily not qualify for the next tournament, And as for a welcome home party, you can fuck right off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adlington Trotter Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 We did well, definitely. Won a knock out match after 90 minutes and a penalty shootout so we've got that off our backs. But the senior team were clearly some way behind the other semi finalists. Also, as well as Southgate has done, I'm worried he might be a little too stubborn with this 3 at the back. That clearly needed changing in the second half against Croatia but he didn't. Good managers always recognise when a change is required mid match and know how to adjust. Just hope he changes things around as and when necessary in the Nations League and the Euro qualifiers. But it does look like the start something good, especially with the youth teams coming through. Heading in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 It was fun beating Tunisia,Panama,Colombia + Sweden - then we got found out! It put some smiles on faces in this country for a coupla weeks + sold a hell of a lot of beer. More than most of us were expecting. We'll be back.
