All England's talent is imported by the Premier league.

Very festive in London for the build up today... Beautiful day for it too

England have been good on paper for years. Brilliant individual stars. Sadly never translates into a cohesive team performance. I mean, how could a team with Beckham, Scholes, Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney, Ferdinand, Cole, etc, have achieved nothing at all?

Maybe they weren't that great. Good, but not fantastic.

It's a bit like England's rugby team which are perptually built up as world beaters but are generally quite average.
 
England can be glad Denmark isn't hitting the target better. The English looks poor today.
 
One of the mail issues with the England team is they have no defined style of play, exacerbated by their stars being coached by foreign coaches with differing ideologies and tactics

vs say the Germans who generally have a similar playing style across their major clubs and country

It boils down to the coach... Gareth Southgates tactics is poor at best he is so pragmatic with such an attacking talent on display they can't get a shot on target in the last 30 minutes... ok wait Ollie Watkins did have a 1v1 shot at the keeper in this time
 
I haven't managed to watch many games but this Spain vs Italy game has been entertaining so far. Not the usual tiki-taka.
 
****ing moron Dutch fans throwing **** on the field :mad:
 
That took longer that it should’ve.

The keeper might not of had a chance in theory, but he never got the opportunity to dive and try.

Obvious offside for obstruction

It is subjective, could have dived and just crashed into the plpayer was never going to save that. Tough call could see it go either way
