Nobody is saying that but it's fair to say we've made it more difficult for ourselves facing Colombia. Then if we get through we could get Sweden, who will put up two banks of four and effectively say come on then, break us down. Yeah Brazil QF is tough, but no guarantees they will get through their R16 tie.
Not only that, but we've lost momentum now.
So Southgate learns that he can't rely on anyone outside his first 11, save possibly Rose. Must be comforting.
But you can only take each game as it comes. Brazil haven't been amazing so far.People are not being arrogant! Objectively, finishing second is the preferred route. That’s not saying we’ll do it, BUT it does look easier. It’s just a fact. Brazil would be harder to play than Switzerland for example.
He should have known that by now...So Southgate learns that he can't rely on anyone outside his first 11, save possibly Rose. Must be comforting.
England will go out against Colombia and I will blame Southgate. Every tournament England have the same problem, being arrogant. It looks like England wanted to come second to avoid Brazil in a potential quarterfinals when they haven’t even played their round of 16 game. He’s killed the momentum and mentality of this team. Laugh at me if you want but it’s true. Idiotic from Southgate
Dier is better defensively, Henderson is better with the ball. If you’re playing one true CM ideally you want a combination of the two.
Columbia you mean?Ok so England will be eliminated from this World Cup by Sweden.
I don't think we'll lose to Colombia but Southgate's needlessly made the next game much more difficult than he needed toEngland will go out against Colombia and I will blame Southgate.
