- Is Ronaldo causing a problem for Portugal? Are France having similar difficulties to England? Who has been the most impressive team so far?
Gary, Alan and Micah go through all six groups to discuss how each team performed, the stand out players and what we should be looking out for as we head into the knockout rounds.

France consistently poor, with very negative tactics, but tend to have just enough talent to get them over the line, in spite of thier coach. The difference between them and England is that they have won things in living memory, meaning that unlike England they don't have a nation of fans filled with dread and anxiety resulting in frustration bubbling to the surface at the slightest sign of perceived failure.
The difference is their players are better to😂
No footballer is thinking of that nonsense whilst playing. Sounds great but you obv never kicked a ball in your life. Lost in your imagination. No England's fan is locked in dread or anxiety either.
France have created many chances unlike England
Struggling to hang on to 1-0 Serbia isn’t perceived failure. Almost losing and holding on to a 1-1 Switzerland isn’t perceived failure. 0-0 draw with Slovenia isn’t a perceived failure. It is, failure.
@@czhaoknot really mate at the end of the day anything can happen in football and no one really cares about the group stages anyway. Let them land, people like you are the reason all the players are feeling it. If we lose to Slovakia, that is the failure
All the surprise teams like Switzerland and Austria, are full with experienced good players as most of them are playing in the Bundesliga!
So are they actually a surprise or are we just ignorant?
@@thrilla72 probably a bit of both to be honest.
@@thrilla72 let's be real most of us English don't look at football outside our shores.
@@thrilla72 as non Brit I think both but separately, in Austria we all surprised but in Switzerland we're all kinda ignorant since we forgot that last Euro they knocked France out and they constantly getting into knockout stages.
forest had a few of them, mangala etc average players but good managers
Gareth is like a pilot that doesnt know how to fly a Boeing 747 but due to a headwind and the autopilot system has happened to miraculously land on the runway!
More like knows how to turn on autopilot but wants to manually fly the plane the whole way his way with his tactical delusions
Both of you trying too much
I think he can fly a Boeing 747 very well, actually. But we don't need a 747 - we need an F-35 fighter.
@@yassinahmed7899 I get where you're coming from but using our brains isn't that difficult for some of us
Stick to your day job
This pod defo has the vibe of the podcast after the night before
that's one of the reasons I enjoy them, mates chatting about football after a night on the beers chatting about football
@@Lard2112sounds gay that.
@@czhaokwhat 😂😂
It's actually quite funny over the long run to see them getting more and more hungover... There is a point of diminishing returns, I'm sure 🤣
@@czhaokweirdo
Strong 2010 and 2016 vibes for England.
Slovakia are giving me Iceland flash-backs right now
2010 we got a clear goal disallowed and lost, I wouldn’t say we played as bad in 2016 that was horrid
@@pwners4uwe were dreadful in the 2010 World Cup. Utterly horrid.
Disallowed goal or not
Well, lets hope you are completely wrong then.
Maybe, the players we’ve got are light years ahead though so I’m praying we’ll be fine
Never discount what a knockout round win can do for a team, especially with a few tweaks to the team
I lived in Tbilisi for 3 years. Amazing city as is Georgia as a country - so happy for them. But agreed, the entire language is mental! 😅
They keep mentioning Argentina's loss to Saudi Arabia as evidence that teams can start badly and win tournaments but Argentina would have walked that game if Lautaro Martinez didn't miss at least 3 chances he should have put away. Argentina didn't play badly, they just couldn't score, we're playing every game like it's a pre-season friendly.
spain too
Yeah, bad comparison, I’d have looked back to Italy 1982. Horror show in group stage; For Kane read Rossi. Then v that Brazil team and onwards and upwards to
Marco Tardelliiiiiiii!!!!
Argentina were given that trophy
Also Argentina were on the longest unbeaten streak in history including winning the copa america and beating many top nations. England not so much. Not discluding that Argentina were handed a lot of dodgy decisions in that world cup.
I’ve noticed this about English sport (and I say this as an Englishman). While it’s at its worst in Rugby Union, English fans - generally - completely overlook the qualities of ‘lesser’ teams. Most of these lesser teams, that are doing well, are full of top players that play in Germany, France, Spain etcetera. We English fans seem to think we have some sort of divine right. If we win, just, we’ve played badly. If we lose, we’ve played terribly. It might just be that we’re underestimating the opposition.
Neocolonial ignorance (or arrogance) to anything non British maybe? Or just blatant island mentality? Probably a combination of the two
And wildly overrating your own players
absolutely spot on
I personally think that when you have some of the best players in the world then you have certain expectations. It’s not arrogance but expectations that results will match talent. Also we reached the final last time so expect that now the team has grown and developed that we would improve and be up there with the best.
@@32446 True, you do have some of the best players and since they excel in the PL you might expect them to be top notch. But that doesn't mean that you therefore can ignore whats happening in the Spanish, Italian, French or German leagues. They have top players too. I am not bashing England since I've been following British football (Scotland included being an Aberdeen fan as a young boy and N.I. having Gerry Armstrong and Norman Whiteside posters in my room) since the 80s and I really would love to see them do great, but I see this happen at every tournament i followed since 1982. Yes, they did reach the final, but I was quite amazed that Mr. Southgate wasn't sacked after that game. Playing at Wembley and managing only one shot on target (which happen to go in) and only having 39% possesion? If that happened in NL (i'm Dutch) the coach would have been sacked
A small suggestion. One thing I'd like to see added is a little graphic of the groups/draw/games when they are speaking about them. Either way, great podcast.
You’ve kind of just said yourself why that doesn’t happen. It’s a *podcast* that happens to get posted on you tube…
@@GIBBO4182But it’s a podcast which has multiple cameras, and graphic transitions for when they cut the cameras - it’s not too hard to add some other visuals for the CZcams versons
@@klanny22 doesn’t usually though, does it? It’s only because they’re all together for the football. Usually it’s about as low tech as you can get
@@GIBBO4182 to be fair they often do have animations and images relevant to the subject they're discussing, so he's got a point, I was thinking the same thing.
Can only get better? Didn’t they say that before the Iceland game?
Loving this and the overlap podcasts 😊
I've a feeling about Italy. This won't be the first time they've started poorly and suddenly found a striker who starts scoring for fun. I thought they did ok against Spain and would back them to win if they meet again.
Love these podcasts so much. Would love to see Gary on the Overlap sometime just to see him interact with the other major pundit group. So interesting how Micah is all over the place.
Here’s the thing, lol
English fans and pundits have said the exact same thing after the Serbia game. In reality, England have been playing worse and worse each game 😭
Nah, their best football so far came in 2nd half v Slovenia.
No, started to click second half of Slovenia game.
Guys, let's just agree, that you all spell Khvicha's name wrong 😁 Let me school you :) The first part is not "krah-vat", Micah. It's "Kva-rats". As soon as you get the first part, you will get it all. The second part goes something like "hell-ya".
"Kva-rats-hell-ya". Letter "k" in the middle is inaudible.
Much love from Poland. I don't know how tf have I just stumbled upon your podcast when EURO started, but I've been catching up on ever since.
Alan Shearer- you are my childhood hero. You made me support Newcastle at early age, which was unheard of where I'm from. While peers where jumping between "Galacticos", Man Utd, AC Milan and Pep's Barcelona, I had to cheer a draw with Bolton or Charlton 😖
Just joking- the sir Booby's era was something really special and I wouldn't have changed it for any Champions League trophy. The time of my life. Love is love til this day. Despite two relegations, Mike Ashley's dirty hands on the board and not much cleaner sports-washing machine of today 🙊This club belongs only to the FANS and is amazing.
This is the best youtube channel ever, I swear. Thank you all! It helps me through some rough times.
LOVE
It's a shame Germany and Spain looks like the first quarter final. Could have been the final after looking at the group stages
Germany to win on penalties
It should definitely be set up so that the two most dominant teams from the groups don’t meet until the final.
@@chrisswindell7704 That would be interesting wouldn't it. Like a draw based on overall performance in the group not just position in the group.
@@abdvs325 exactly. Still have group stages, and qualification is still ‘top two, plus best thirds’ but the actual match making is designed to lead to the best matches in the latter stages.
It also makes it more of a ‘hail mary’ than a free pass to squeak through in third. You’re going to have to earn your spot by taking out a big boy in the 16’s if you want to head through.
@@chrisswindell7704 Only downside would be that the big boys would be it would be even more difficult for a surprise package to reach the later stages. Which makes it interesting to a certain degree.
If people think England have been poor so far just wait till Sunday against Slovakia.
What do you mean?
Sorry not following
@@PokjhbvcfI mean it will be another shocking performance from the most disjointed team in the tournament.
They've played shit in every game they've ever played under Southgate, but for some reason Gary thinks they will find their spark now England are in the knockouts 😂
@@Kevin-lf4xxShocking performances are when you lose heavily.
One the best podcasts going. I hope this is just not for the Euros, and you guys keep doing this during the Prem season.
They've been doing this podcast for ages, well before the Euro's started.
Little known fact, they actually started this podcast 10 months ago all in preparation for the Euros. It will be ending as soon as England gets knocked out unfortunately.
"When you win playing badly that's the sign of a good team" We won 1 game out of 3 and drew the other 2, we haven't gotten out of 1st gear nevermind 2nd gear.
Do you have a licence?
3rd comes after 2nd mate lolol
Yea, I realised that after you pointed it out. Fail moment lol
Maybe when you win playing badly it's a sign that the other team is even worse: just saying :)
A bad team loses.
Loving the Euros podcasts fellas, keep them coming.
KOBBIE MAINOO ALWAYS BEEN SPECIAL SAW HIM IN LOCKDOWN WHEN HE WAS 15 AND THE WORLD NEVER KNEW WHO HE WAS BUT ALWAYS KNEW HE WOULD BE A BIG PLAYER IN FURURE ITS JUST COME VERY QUICK PROUD OF HIM ENGLAND LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH A MIDFIELD MYSTRO!!!💫
I love this podcast so much.
ITV has adopted Stick to Football… any chance the BBC will adopt The Rest is Football? (After the watershed of course) for a euro special?
It's a strange one stick to football being on itv, seeing as it's done by the overlap and skybet. I was saying I wonder why those guys hadn't done any pods then thought of course they can't due to sky, interested to watch it later and understand
But no they won't do this on bbc, that's the point. The freedom
No thanks. Prefer it here. Can you imagine Gary saying that England were shit on the BBC? It's better unleashed from the Beeb.
Freedom and being your own boss is what we'd all want.
@@andrewwalker9778 I agree
When we play the better teams in the tournament who will attack us more creating more space,i think our top players will come good in the latter stages
Hey guys, would you mind putting chapters in your videos? Love your stuff!
Micah is comedy gold, making these 3 amigos entertaining.
I'm Dutch, so not in the best mood after the Austria game (although Austria deserves a lot of credit for how they played). I hate this tournament setup. NL should have been out of the tournament. Instead they play Romania in the next round. If they beat them they will meet up the winner of the Austria/Turkey game and thus potentially playing Austria again? Going by the principle of each tournament winning team will play at least one really bad game during the tournament the Dutch might beat the Austrians at that quater final (if they overcome Romania ofcourse who you can't underestimate) and the Dutch might even reach the semi finals which would be considered a good result by any nation. What a BS!
Yeah it’s deeply flawed my friend. Crazy way to organise a tournament. It should’ve been top 2 only.
@@gavinmillar461 couldn't agree more
I don't quite understand why you think that's bad. Can you explain further? For me this makes the tournament interesting.
@@abdvs325 In this format if you win your first game you need 1 point in 2 games to progress. That might explain some of the lacklustre performances by the so called top teams in the later games. In the old format in which only the top two of the group progress, you could even fail to progress with 2 wins. You really have to be top in all group games
Besides that, you would not encounter any of the other teams from your group untill the final
I recently changed my regular "thunder and rain sounds" for sleeping, to the radio broadcast of Englands match against Slovenia, on repeat. I sleep through all night now.
Saka was our best attacking player and got subbed first every game and then they ask why we aren’t scoring goals. His was the only assist of the group stages. And no he wasn’t great for every minute he played in every game but he was overall more effective than Kane or Foden. If you keep subbing your best performer for Bowen or Palmer then don’t complain when you can’t get the results
I have to disagree. Foden has been the biggest threat in the past two games. Saka has had moments but he's not at his dangerous best without space to run into.
@@Edge-of-Reason managers fault cos no width at all, saka is still saka
Saka put the cross in for Bellingham's goal, then didn't do much - Bowen came on & put in the ONLY cross Kane had a chance of getting his head on (hit crossbar). Other than that, he's been quiet; with Palmer & Bowen both doing better when coming on
If Bowen was so good then why did he not come on instead of Palmer? If Saka isn’t good enough why is he starting? If he is, why is he coming off in every game whilst foden and Kane stay on? Not of it makes sense unless Saka is unfit which I do not think is the issue. We have zero width on the left. Instead of experimenting that side Southgate keeps on messing about with the wing that has actually done something all tournament…
He provides zero width so we are too concentrated in the middle
Love how everyone at home is a pundit..even if they haven't played football since school
Defensive wise Slovakia are pretty good hv players for top teams they beat Belgium and looked good in first half against Ukraine but fell apart in second half against them, England need to be careful on set plays as they hv some big lads in team
The podcast are better than the football 😅
This is increasingly looking like a discussion between three drunk blokes in the pub
they're brits
You don’t have to watch it mate🙄
@@NH-bz9jv True. Will find other things to do
Drunks?
That's cus it is 3 drunk blokes in a pub
Surprised to here they didnt expect Switzerland to do as well as they have. Switzerland often make a good account of themselves in these recent tournaments
Get Lamps, Cesc, Thomas Frank on the pod while they’re there!!
Lampard has now left Germany, as the vacant manager's post at Holland's pies has become available, so Frank has flown back to the UK for talks
They should try getting Klopp, he probably is in Germany right now
Another great show 👏 but I'm still worried about England's chances v Slovakia! another low block possibly of big physical players to break down,the 1 positive is the draw yet again lol so let's hope we can start performing
Imagine if we even got to the final....how boring it would be😴
And the end of Euros we should get a The Rest is Football vs Stick to Football match
The tournament proper starts now in the knockout stages. Playing it safe and negativity will not get you into the next round. He who dares wins
We need a stick to football and rest is football collab!!!!! 😂
Micah, liking your glasses. What brand are they? Loving the pod by the way 😂
Been hearing this for 20 years. They can also get worse or stay the same
Great stuff from legends Gary, Alan and new cult hero Big Meeks! Spain to choke and Italy to come alive but Germany to win it.
30:35 Ah Gary likes Romania, NICE :D . Also its amazing how teams are missing now the main man at the goal, where is the no9 gone? Multiple teams are struggling without a proper striker, big nationals like Germany, Brazil, Italy are lacking such talent where in the past they had so much competition for that role.
the strikers are there but the managers are choosing for tiki taki football in the majors
HITC sevens has a good video on why the lack of strikers. Partly indeed due to the generation of tiki taka. There seems to be a decent true striker generation behind it though. Plus seeing the return of the physical striker.
@@Hyde_Hill hopefully, we need more stan collymores :)
@@Hyde_Hill could you link me that video, he has good videos. Football like many others go through cycles and I get that but having the traditional no 10 and no 9 not around I get its more efficient at times, but the football itself its not a great watch at times. Was very happy to see so many goals from outside of the box at this Euro's.
@@JohnDoe-km9vx Links tend to get blocked on youtube. Just search: Why don't Italy have any strikers anymore HITC Sevens. I know he specifies Italy in the title but a lot of it applies to other countries as well.
Flower of Scotland was certainly a great spectacle. It's a pity England has such a terrible national anthem, an anthem should be about the country, the people and the land, not about the royal family
Agree, as an atheist republican I don’t sing the national anthem.
I absolutely agree. If North Korea had an anthem about god saving their dear leader. We'd call them bonkers rightfully.
I also have to say though that the Scottish national anthem is terrible for me as well. It's another addition to their obsession with England. For a country with so many great songs it's such a shame.
@@abdvs325 I can almost imagine a Kim Jong song with a kinda Gangnam style beat to it 😂
it isnt the english anthem, land of hope and glory is.its a brit anthem. dont folks with union jacks do your head in
You'll notice the less Gordon plays the bigger Alans temple vein grows
i think there is going to be alot of shock results coming.
with the run in, i think England should get to the final. the players are good enough, just believe, and work hard. get rid of the fear of losing, and go for it. your good enough.

The best England podcast
Maverick being pleased at saying a word again lol😂
30:46 gary you went with romania “because i want to be different “ it was just a random pick😭
Gareth uses a rubber for a hand shandy.
England have done really well getting to the Euro finals let alone the last 16 of it. "Pride goeth before a fall" and that has plagued the England side and England fans alike for decades. Pride could be the thorn in their side. Perhaps Southgate and his players are approaching these finals with a tactical sobriety based on that incite/hindsight that the fans(lost in their proud delirium and unreasonable expectations) are just too myopically minded to grasp, that might explain the disconnect leading to the "unusual environment". By all means let the team go forward with the courage of a lion but leave "pride" out, it might be the key to avoid a fall this time around. Perhaps the best tactic for both the team and fans alike is to be humble before being humbled, again.
Austria's game plan should be what we should be aiming for. In according to those ancient immortal words of wisdom: "We're gonna score one more than you".
Loving the lads from New Zealand
If the euros are to stay at 24 teams is the following a better format?
6 groups of 4. 1st to QF. 2nd & 3rd to Playoffs. 4th to 6th Eliminated.
Does mean an extra game (or two via playoffs). But guarantees 5 games for all and is a fair and understandable format.
Groups would have been:
A: France, Croatia, Germany, Serbia, Czechia, Georgia
B: Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, Scotland, Albania
C: England, Spain, Denmark, Hungary, Turkey, Slovenia
D: Portugal, Netherlands, Ukraine, Austria, Romania, Slovakia
(If they used FIFA rankings rather than qualifying (used to include Germany))
Not sure who Micah talks to for transfers. Only heard Liverpool & Spurs linked with Calafiori but he's somehow heard links for the 2 teams he supports 😅😂
I love the pod from the beginning. Big fan and I love that you have no knowledge about OUR Slovakian football and players. I really hope you will see our true quality on Sunday and we will eliminate you since you were unfortunately by far the most boring team of the tournament. Just watch out for Hancko, Skriniar and especially Lobotka. Looking forward. Come on, Slovakia! (ANG - SVK 0:0, 4:5 on penalties)
"Mbappe"
"yeah I like that shout"
yeah great shout, what a brave opinion for top scorer
Most impressive team for me so far has been Spain seem strong throughout and all aiding one another and putting all into games so far anyhow ..As for my 2nd favs hosts Germany they shall be tough to crack also .
As for best fans at euros Scotland by a country mile you just cant beat that anthem with all singing loud and proud along with Scottish Bag Pipe bands marching on streets within Germany with all Scottish fans marching behind all way to stadium very impressive and missed alreaady inc German Mayor who wanted Scotland to get through for their fans .
Can't wait for Euros to ed, so the guys can rid themselves of that underlying tension that has them tied in knots, it seems.
Denmark’s issue is they scored 2 goals is it? Did England not just score 2 as well? That were both deflected before arriving at the player who scored the goal haha
Love big Meeks matching specs and watch. Nice bit of matching rosè, sir👌
What we have learnt so far in this tournament about the 3 Lions:-
Is that Anthony Gordon's presence in the pitch will be dependent on Luke Shaw's fitness ...only then England can make maximum use of the left flank to press opponents 🤔
Well we needed an overlapping left back because our forwards play very narrow
@@thrilla72 leaving grealish out was a disaster imo
@@PazLeBon in what way was it a disaster. It would just be a different player bringing the same problems on. No runs in behind
@@thrilla72 wellm hes disciplined and hugs the touchline creating space for the midfield whom he typically finds with his low block breaking passes and his penalty potential so when he was dropped my fiver stayed in my pocket :)
@@PazLeBon Hmmm, ok....but who would miss out for him to play?
could austria be the new greece??
Greece were very defensive and boring and won it by boring everyone to death. Austria are exciting and would be fully deserving of winning the lot if they can carry it on.
Dope
Does make me wonder with Mbappe not enjoying playing down the middle, how will it work at Real Madrid?
Same as the other 3 tournaments yet he still fcuked it up
Why do no pundits talk about Joe Gomez at left Back. You won't get many complaints about his performances there from Liverpool fans Great professional, can go forward, cross the ball and come inside. If your thinking of changing the left back at least he has experience in that position
The more I think about it I am convinced we should play Walker at LB and can drop into a back 3 when we attack and play TAA at RB with more freedom to get forward could really give us another dimension. Thoughts?
We NEED a left footer on the left to cross the ball in, it would vary our play
Nah they should play pickford as striker and Kane as GK
I'd rather set up as City do:
Walker Stones Guéhi
Rice Wharton
Saka Foden Bellingham Gordon
Kane
id drop kane and bellingham and bring in palmer, gordon, tta and watkins, trouble is then i have 13 players
Hi Footie Fans👋 We review EVERY Euro 2024 Group On Our Channel! Check It Out!👍
Big question, if Harry Kane scores 1 or 2 pens or tap in's, how highly should it be rated. Should we take into consideration the FACT that once AGAIN, England have fallen on their feet in relation to qual groups and favorable side of table in knockout phase. Is Kane actually in striking condition!
with that draw, a win or epic fail
Also what really annoys me is the offside rule. Is that why we have it in the game NO! It is supposed to just stop ballers hanging around behind the defence. To be judged offside by a toe or a kneecap is ridiculous. Now we have cameras that can get a couple of millimetres it is riduculous. I don't know the answer maybe a clear and obvious rule but even then cameras will pick up an inch too far. The rule as I remember it as a kid was in my local area was to stop Goal munching
Is nbolo the guy who has made the biggest impact on the shop window, so far?
Let's go Three Lions! England needs to press hard during the knockout stage.
Don’t want be the party clasher here but it felt to me like England being matched up against teams they thought they surely would be winning against and subsequently went into as clear favorites was the problem. The worse the opponent, the more they struggled. So I honestly believe falling onto the „easy“ side of the draw was not necessarily a good thing for a team like England. Facing Germany, Spain or France, the big hitters, it feels to me like they would’ve gone into it with a very different mentality and hunger.
We’ll have to see if they can mobilize that motivation against teams like Austria and Switzerland which are seemingly worse than them but can really hurt you if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Why is everyone going on about the format being flawed?! In a 32 team World Cup, you could finish with 6 points and still not qualify out your group!
I can’t believe all three of y’all did not expect Switzerland to go through that group
looked weak in the knock out stages. Almost cost the manager his job. Has done a good job rallying the troops. + Scotland sympathy + Hungary dark horse (especially in England as they beat them in Nations League). Think that explains it.
Supposed to be sports journalist and all of them said they haven’t seen a Slovakia game yet? Too much 🍷
what Mics are you using?
Micah Richards 😂
Get ready for a different Gareth in the knockout stages. No more Mr Nice guy 🦁🦁🦁
Get ready for - Mr mostly nice guy!
No sunday night is no more job & he is mr upset guy head in a brown bag again for just eat this time 😂
Simply t0o frightened for all out attack. but all out attack is probably the best form of defence when you have the players England have. Make the left wing work as it has been dead. Stretch the defences. I don't know or understand Gareths mindset, I am hoping he was just trying to get through the group stage. Put gordon in and unleash the players. I dont think Saka has played badly but with the left being dead he is swamped by defenders
Love you guys. Enjoying The Rest Is Football. Gary Linekar you were my teenage crush....#justagirlfromsouthafrica
even with those ears back then? wow lol
Hungry hit the post as well!!!
So did Scotland against Switzerland. No prizes for hitting the post my friend.
It's coming home 💥💥😁
who does he play for? didnt he eat breakfast?
Italy won all three of their group stage matches and went on to win last Euros. What's working against Spain this year is the side of the draw they find themselves in.
Gareth should be taking notes from Uruguay!
Think his head would explode at the idea of calling up players who are abroad and scouting English talent like illing junior.
Bielsa Is willing to drop big names and call up players on a system basis and is reaping rewards for it.
Are we ruling out the fact that this is all part of the plan. Get through and top the group, then release the flying wingers to dominate and win the tournament, sorted!
As a City fan, can you imagine how this group of players would perform under Pep’s coaching?
The guy who has only coached world class teams the latter being questionable in origin?
A national side is not a club side.
How you figure?
@@Deencat_ Pep is a fantastic coach and brings the best out of his players, he could do that with England
@@Deencat_ hes improved even the best of players and is a tactical genius. whats to question? its a million to one on theyd be a better side lol
@@Deencat_ He's improved every team he's managed substantially. And you mean questionable because they had external injection of money? Like any successful team ever you mean?
Let's face it Slovakia will park bus and England will hv to break them down hopefully Gordon might start and we can get at full backs
I like it
We should get to the final without any issues on paper. No seeded teams on our side of the knock outs.
Yet we won't.any team half serious will beat us
Switzerland Austria and Netherlands are literally all levels ahead of England. They might be on the easier side but they still far from the best teams on that side
We could play so many styles but we play a low block 😅
I'll resubscribe once the Euros are over. Every podcast about England right now is so depressing (not your fault). Our team is just so weak, both in skill and mentality! I think I'll start watching the Women's team instead, they've got more balls than Southgate.
thats going way too far,
They talked about every group
Only Spain have conceded fewer goals.
I would love to see zabaleta on the show with big meeks.. watchin alan and gary take the piss outta micah
Fun fact. Foden passed the ball more often to his keeper (3 times) then to his striker, Kane (1 time).
well, keeper did more running into space
How many keepers does he have?
@bonglesnodkins329 thanks for the feedback. Please excuse the typo. After all, English is my third language. Now that I've corrected it, you're invited to comment on the content of what I've said and not my grammar.
@@PazLeBon lol, that was good 👍
Top scorer is going to be Own Goal.
Good to see Big Meeks wearing actual human attire today. No more techno-bondage cosplay.
Can we maybe as fans, just maybe stop with the negativity and support the team? Imagine if in your day job you had loads of people who have never done your job to a similar standard or people that used to do your job when it was very very different hammering you day in day out. Would it improve your performance? Would it make you want to fight hard for those people? I get that the performances haven’t been great but maybe if the players aren’t so afraid of making mistakes and letting people down they would play with more freedom.
I was genuinely hoping Scotland would go home...and they did
I agree. The media always overlook the anti-English bigotry that most Scottish fans spew out.
I live in Scotland and football wise there is very little animosity towards Englands squad. The media hype however that is loathed and rightly so.
@@Edge-of-Reason oh even we are fed up of that
The complaining about the format is strange cuz in the World Cup teams can also go out on 4 points and others can go through on 3
I find it odd people moaning. If it’s that much of an issue, have one big league. Groups are groups. Imagine finishing 3rd in a group with 3 points and being usurped by a team finishing 4th in another group with 4 points. It wouldn’t be right. The position in the group more important than points total.
I agree, doesn't make sense what they're saying.
The quarter finals on the top half of the draw could be classics. I think if France will just pip Portugal and I fancy Spain to beat Germany. France v Spain semi final could be another classic. Can't call that one yet. On the other boring side, England may come a copper against the Swiss in the quarter's unless they improve. Haven't a clue who will make the final from the weak half of the draw as they are all inconsistent. Maybe Austria.
