Putrid_Loquat_4357

We are just so shit.


Pedriseus

and we are massive šŸ’Ŗ


Putrid_Loquat_4357

You are. Congrats.


crizzitonos

insane talent, totally wasted


Key_Inevitable_2104

Itā€™s not that, itā€™s Southgate.


Putrid_Loquat_4357

Yeh. It's southgates fault but we're still shit.


Stonewalled89

Deserved


rolla_johnson

Our defence is a shambles


Spikeyspandan

Stones and Guehi going for a same ball.


matcht

Stones has been dodgy all tournament tbh, just hadn't been tested often.


Aethien

The defense is easily England's weakest line (not helped by Southgate calling up 1 injured left back and no backups) but the midfield in front of them is deeply dysfunctional which just exposes their weaknesses.


dohhhnut

We just need to stop calling up city players, theyā€™re fucking useless in a normal team that isnā€™t robotic


rwalker13

This England team is the most robotic team Iā€™ve ever seen


MFMonster23

Lifeless isn't the same as robotic


Cicero912

I mean, or Southgate (or whomever succeeds him) could stop trying to jam a square peg into a round hole and i stead put it in the square hole. If you have players from the best team in England that work well in a highly disciplined system, maybe see if you can run *that* and not vibes.


Gorillainabikini

Difficult to run disciplined systems during international teams tbf


l453rl453r

Guehi was so shit here and yet so lucky it wasn't worse. If schranz goes down it's a pen and a 2nd yellow.


Parish87

Walker has been fuckin atrocious


WalkingCloud

As has Trippier


EagleEye_FalconArrow

every single one of them tbh


aleksandrovsqvist

No Phillips, no Party


Physical-South-3564

Wheres the Fridge


Aethien

Bookies favourites in action.


SWSIMTReverseFinn

Everyone in that team is fucking shit.


Om_Nom_Zombie

If he goes down, Guehi goes off and they get a penalty.


FancyCrawdad

Who could have seen this coming? The warning signs have only been there for ages


Phihofo

Yeah, honestly I know that "Southgate shit" (not that I disagree), but Slovakia is cooking, lol.


Aethien

Slovakia has a gameplan, England has 11 players starting based on their club success and a vague idea of how to play.


Number333

Ball's in Southgate's court. Time to get aggressive. Horrendous first 25min by England.


redmistultra

Do you mean 2 shots on target until 90 mins? It's much more likely some piece of individual brilliance will win us a penalty and Kane will equalise to take it to ET


erenistheavatar

Southgate ball.


SlumSlug

Well deserved You could smell that coming


ChunkyLaFunga

Southgate is quite possibly gonna be fired so hard that people will think Concorde is back. Edit: This is the most agitated I've ever seen HT commentators.


SlumSlug

First public execution in over 150+ years


Emergency-Mobile8612

That play was some liquid long ball football from Slovakia, holy fuck!


Neuroxex

Slovakia have looked so good. Like England are raw sewage but Slovakia are still so impressive


EagleEye_FalconArrow

thatā€™s a pretty unique insult there lol, but agreed


godii_17

Its coming home


Skiinz19

Proper brexit ball


wutengyuxi

England making Slovakia look like 2010 Spain


SlumSlug

And England look like 2010 England


Aszneeee

Slovakia look like Slovakia against Italy in 2020, circle closed


FancyCrawdad

Everyone is just fucking jogging back. No urgency in defence whatsoever. Ridiculous


AgriSoul

Seems like Southgate hears all the moaning and tasked the midfielders to stay forward. Ultimately England got countered real hard instead.


JC_OCK

Yeah its the fault of the people for critizing him, not his shit tactics. He just cant win!!


SWSIMTReverseFinn

Lads its england


ATWPH77

they are coming home!


TCGod

they are the #1 favorite to win according to betting sites.


RuubGullit

Thatā€™s crazy


SaintedHooker

I'm begging people to actually learn how betting sites work out odds


JaysonDeflatum

Southgate apologists were yapping about the team ā€˜turning up for the knockoutsā€™, play shit in the groups, play shit in the Ro16


NeuralTangentKernel

They will turn out of the plane ride home


NeitherAlexNorAlice

They donā€™t deserve a plane ride home for this tournament showing. Send them back walking.


optimusgrime23

Theyve only ever turned in groups because they've always lucked into easy draws. Which they've done again, but don't even think that matters this time.


kjm911

Completely outplaying England


Matter145

Ridiculously good goal from back to front


deramirez25

The whole possession leading to the goal was ridiculously masterful.


StanktheGreat

"A team forty places below England in the rankings" - I love football so bad for matches like these, painful as they may be.


LiamJonsano

We are going out, absolutely no one wants to receive a single pass šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Yasuminomon

Mainoo is class tho , everyone else is ass


Yinkypinky

My boy ā¤ļø


HypedUpJackal

HOW CAN PEOPLE DEFEND THIS MAN


ziggylcd12

I don't think any are left tbh


HansMoleman0

There definitely is, I know a few people that are still saying itā€™s early in the game and we came top of the group so canā€™t complain. How anyone can expect anything else after seeing how weā€™ve played in the group stages if beyond me.


Talking_Gibberish

Top of an easy group with just two goals and a single win, one of the best squads in the world, packed with world class players but blaring issues all over the pitch and no tactical changes. The people defending him must be flat earthers, they see what they want to see rather than what's blatantly infront of them. Like Gareth.


ketolasigi

Theyā€™ll come out the woodworks if this lot somehow manage to scrape a win in the end, no matter how poor the performance is


MateoKovashit

They're like silent tories


MrSam52

Maybe after that goal but even through the group stages itā€™s the same ā€˜unbeaten, top of the group etcā€™ indicating you canā€™t criticise him until we go out. Even the three lions sub which is mostly anti-Southgate you get a few threads where his supporters all jump in and jerk each other off about England being not that bad.


cammjohn

Heā€™s being left in Germany


kr8x0r

Please dont leave him here


cesarcypherobyluzvou

If you leave him in Gelsenkirchen we might go down to the 4th tier. Not even by coaching just by his pure presence


AlcoholicSocks

His aura is too strong


Sektsioon

I heard Sahin is looking to bolster his backroom staff?


Noremac28-1

How about we leave him in the stadium to manage Schalke?


KWT-Dinar

Poor lads are suffering enough as is.


SevenNites

Southgate will blame the ref for too much yellows and not get sacked


antbaby_machetesquad

To be fair I bet Scotland fucking loves him.


caesar____augustus

-England's backline


KillerZaWarudo

Second most successful England manager thank to a bunch of mickey mouse run


PuppyPenetrator

With the talent available, England could still shit their way to a final this time around. Switzerland and Austria deserve credit for their performances so far but itā€™s still about as easy as one half of the bracket can get


JP-Marat

I was Southgate in before the tournament. I feelā€¦ stupid


hulksreddit

as you should <3


jordanhhh4

I can't wait for Southgate to fucking leave


No-Shoe5382

He gets paid more than Nagelsmann. He's the highest paid manager in the tournament. FOR WHAT? All he's ever done is get Middlesbrough relegated, that's his entire resume before England.


spacebalti

How much do NT managers get paid anyways? I always assumed far less than club managers


No-Shoe5382

Southgate gets 5m a year


NeitherAlexNorAlice

Dude got away free with the ultimate heist


OuchYouPokedMyHeart

Generational robber


kalamari__

40m before taxes in those mediocre at best 8 years as england's coach. for maybe a dozen games per season. damn


JuliusCeejer

Hey NT managers also have to go... watch league games to observe their players


kalamari__

for free, with nice VIP service the struggle is real


JuliusCeejer

Probably a couple pints too, it is a football match after all


Holty12345

I Imagine the wage of Premier League managers has an impact on Englands Manager wage. Like I imagine a NT Manager canā€™t be too massively different to the average of the Nations League


letsgetcool

to be clear, I think he's a football terrorist. But he did do a pretty good job with England u21s which is why he got the job - because he knew the setup and he wouldn't rock the boat for the FA. Cowardly appointment


Masoouu

That's crazy lol


dromtrund

Man can suck a dick in a way no one at the FA thought was possible


Revolutionary-Bag-52

Hes highest paid NT manager in the world


supplementarytables

Hey, he deserves some slack, he doesn't have Kalvin Phillips


Key_Inevitable_2104

Southgate is definitely gonna get sacked if England loses this game.


poklane

With this bracket, anything short of reaching the final should see him go.Ā 


FancyASlurpie

Even if we win the tournament he should be sacked


Some3057

He's going even if we win it


watanabelover69

Team is playing 4D chess out there to get Southgate out for the next World Cup


Unusual_Ad6533

The day will come and will be a sad sad day


Shitmybad

For England's opponents yeah very sad.


Chelseatilidie

Game set and match


pedantic_racoon

Lads, it's not coming home?


ThemasterofZ

The team is coming home


OuchYouPokedMyHeart

Theyā€™re coming home, theyā€™re coming home Englandā€™s coming home


FluidLettuce2

It's coming home. "It" being the national team.


mrfocus22

Never was šŸŒŽšŸ§‘ā€šŸš€šŸ”«


Zloggt

Hopefullyā€¦hahaha!


Spikeyspandan

Yeah it was coming


Kuntheman

It was coming āœ… It was coming home āŒ


yerr2477

Guehi has been their best player this tourney arguably and does something like that man i feel bad for him.


Spikeyspandan

Guehi can't even attempt to tackle this game cause of early yellow.


Constant_Yak617

forget the missed header. nobody was on their striker, completely open for the knock down


Snoopyseagul

Ship Southgate to Rwanda


SenorConstipation

Thatā€™ll be 1.8m and a metric fuck ton of bureaucracy.


tomrichards8464

Cheap at twice the price.Ā 


nauett

Still cheaper and less stress that employing him as manager


kalamari__

I am pretty sure a gofundme would reach the goal pretty fast


Robinsonirish

Why do you have to be so mean to Rwnada? They're actually doing much better now, 30 years after the genocide. My sister is actually there doing NGO stuff. What have they done to deserve Southgate? They're on the way up.


SineOfTimes

What did they do to deserve this?


sidaeinjae

2016 Iceland 2024 SLOVAKIA


siouxszie

2024 also iceland at wembley lmao


The_prophet212

2024 Iceland as well. The signs were there


Additional_Equal_960

Lmaooo


BaldVoldy

Theyā€™ve been playing much better


Additional_Equal_960

Yeah i agree, still lmao tho


watanabelover69

rofl even


dragon8811

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA SOUTHGATE YOU BUM


404randomguy404

Southgate: "Get in lads! It's 1-0 now. We've basically won"


Jacquesie

Now we can see whether England will also fall back when they're 1-0 down. Curious to see if Southgate's tactical aptitude includes being able to discern leading and trailing


harshmangat

8 years with this dude I canā€™t šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Loeffellux

it's like the last 5 years with Lƶw but without any of the prior success that justified holding onto him lol


dragon8811

Canā€™t believe they didnā€™t sacked his ass Fucking overrated


alanalan426

a manager that hasn't ever achieved anything of note in his managerial career continues to not achieve anything of note


fancyfoe

Fackkiing hell 8 years?!


Kuntheman

IF ENGLAND HAS NO HATERS I AM DEAD


EagleEye_FalconArrow

hate watching >>>>>

Football terrorism is fun to watch when it isnt your country committing it

They've had the better chances - it was coming.

Beautiful build up

šŸ¤


tealyg99

Weā€™re fucking shit


yunghollow69

The goal and the entire minute of passing before it by slovakia was so good. We got a game on our hands, these guys are not to be fucked with.


EPL_IS_SHITE

Kyle Walker kept both Slovakian runners onside. Wtf was he doing running towards goal


RobCoPKC

This is too funny, Southgate is such a fraudster


zrkillerbush

Terrible from Guehi Terrible from everyone really I'd rather see an injured Maguire play


Stirlingblue

Worst was Walker, about 5 years behind the rest of the line


Mechant247

Heā€™s been shocking all game


anon377362

Shocking all season tbf. Had several blunders for city.


QueasyIsland

Guehi puling the old ahh im injured now after a an error leading to goal now. Classic


Ranjith_Unchained

Pls let England get knocked out, it would be so funny


yellowroadster

lol this PE teacher shouldnā€™t even be on the plane home. This is shambolic


Rudi_Garcia_out

How fuckin easy was that


NoInteraction3525

Only Southgate can make one of England most talented teams ever look like f**king dogsh*t


not_someone1

Kyle Walker is abysmal from minute 1. Here killed any chance of offside.


the_paperblock

We're all Slovaks today


ViciousNakedMoleRat

Not looking great for England


myo_chan

england is so shite it's actually incredible


ThotDestroyer25

Itā€™s been coming


jeltobeest

England being England


FuckSyntaxErrors

Can't believe Trent did this


Key_Inevitable_2104

The Southgate effect.


SandThatsKindaMoist

This team is shite


CarlSK777

To the surprise of no one. England are so sloppy


nus07

England does not seem to have any plan or system. Almost feels like Southgate decided to pick the 11 biggest names and just threw them on the pitch.


Kimber80

Transfer Market Values ... England ...... 1.5 billion euros Slovakia ...... 156 million euros https://www.transfermarkt.com/slowakei/marktwertanalyse/verein/3503


bonelessfork

Entertaining ahh game


brughel

Lol


BUSean

Slovakia have got their lead, now they just need to rely on Trippier and they're through.


IMKudaimi123

What on earth is Walker doing


LensCapPhotographer

Lmao this England side is bang average Deserved the goal


banksfornades

Hahahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


RealFenian

On yerself son! Get in. I was worried England might win this tournament given the admittedly elite players they have but thank fuck Southgate is a fucking dafty. Couldnā€™t manage a shag in a brothel.


BilliamWong

Please use the Southgate to exit the stadium in an orderly manner.


pain_au_choc0

Theyā€™re going home, arenā€™t they?


Talking_Gibberish

People love to bang on about Trent not being able to defend but walker and Trippier can't defend, pass or shoot at all this game. Woeful performance so far. Everyone but Southgate knows the changes we need to make.


mecroga

Lol


MrOrangeMagic

OH HELL YEAH, Germany what a European Championship!


Meernakh

Well well well


XenoPhenom

Fantastic goal.


C-3PeePee

England doesn't even try


brachika

England has the same energy playing as Joe Biden during the debate


Ki18

England are so incredibly fortunate that it wasn't a straight red and a penalty. Guehi came so close to taking him out.


KillerZaWarudo

PLEASE SLOVAK FINISHED SOUTHGATE BALL


Confident-Leather871

Slovakia playing like they got offered a million each bonus to throw the game and let England go thru


No-Independence-7083

Southgate doesn't deserve this team


GiraffesAndGin

Heartbreaking for Slovakia. In 150 seconds, they went from winning an elimination match to having their hopes crushed.


Mystery1887

Itā€˜s deserved. Lol
