The Coach Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Glad I missed tonight. Said it after the first game. Saying it again. Sack him now. Euro final or not (which we should have won.) He’s quite possibly one of the worse English managers of all time.

exAtyeoMax Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 4 minutes ago, wayne allisons tongues said: Why did Denmark finish 2nd? England go through as group winners. Denmark finish second with Slovenia third - both sides go through. They finished level on points, goal difference, goals scored and disciplinary record (6-6 on yellow cards). The next tie breaker was who had the best qualifying record - and Denmark finished above Slovenia - coincidentally in the same qualifying group - on head-to-head record, after both sides finished qualifying on the same amount of points too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseybean Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 The similarities between the national team and Bristol City are uncanny. Based on another inept England performance, I think it’s fair to say the following apply to the national team as much as the City - pedestrian, predictable, cautious, lacking creativity and urgency and ideas and pace, unable to break down a defensive block, sloppy with the ball at times, struggle to score frustrating and boring. 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
