Little wonder it was so iconic. I have driven 430 miles today and am knackered...well that’s my excuse.
Funny how one reasonably innocent quote can make me laugh so much.
Mrs F thinks I’ve lost it (and she may be right)
It did make me smile when you pointed out my error.
Sanguine Enjoying the false narrative developing that our midfield was overrun by Germany. There's a reason that Germany did pretty much fcuk all with their possession.

Yeah that is b/llocks.
Although I wouldn't say they did f/ck all with it, I'd say the first half was evenly matched. England dominated the second half.

Agreed. Kroos is the sort of player you may have expected to boss our midfield and run the game, like Modric and Rakitic in 2018. But we dealt with him excellently.
I'd still be anxious to see our team up against Veratti and Jorginho, but let's focus on the immediate games first I guess.

Peak Kroos I think you’re right, but what I’ve seen of him in the last couple of years is not peak
Ascotexgunner You look at that 2014 side, it just wasn't talent, it was a magnificent unit as well that suffocated teams, and pressed and hunted in packs. They are now relying too much on the older players to give the confidence. This has to be the lowest point in German football.....lower than the last World Cup even. I see nothing in there that even looks like it will
challenge for a major tournament in the next few years. They have always had a striker that the opposition fear, even Janker had a bit of a reputation. I look at what they have now and in Werner and think, christ is that the best they have? Really?.

+1 I would say that finishing bottom of their group in Euro 2000 (also containing England) with 1 point and 1 goal scored would be much lower than this tournament.

It's generally BS too.
Germany are a side in transition, with a Manager seeing out his contract, who's already chalked up a WC win.
And they still made it through a very competitive group stage, to be knocked out by one of England's best squads of recent years, at their peak, at home.

This England squad is not at its peak yet. In 2024 and 2026, Maguire and Kane will still only be in their early 30s, while the young guns will be even more experienced. Only Henderson, Trippier and Walker will be too old, who all play in positions where we're well stocked.
We have a decade ahead where we should be competing for major honours.

Indeed. This group doesn't seem to have the arrogance and tensions between clubs. Plus we have a manager who picks a functional team instead of trying to shoehorn in too many big names.
