Round of 16: England vs Germany


Recommended Posts

Yeah. England's attacking problems go deeper than just personnel. I remember everyone demanding Grealish to come on against Scotland and when he did, he ended up doing fuck all too. Southgate is just way too conservative. Even Phillips and Rice are much more adventurous with their play at their respective clubs but here it appears they've been instructed to just hold and play very simple passes.

 

ETA. Sterling again. His general play has not been the best but it appears he's the only one who can actually score.

Sterling’s general play hasn’t been the best still but, credit to him, at least he’s finding a way to come up with some end product.

ETA: Jesus after talking him up Sterling with a horrendous pass but Muller bails him out.

For all the criticisms, Southgate's England have done a couple of things now at major tournaments: 1) broke the penalty kicks curse 2) Ended the German jinx. 

And England still maintain a clean sheet, albeit with luck.
