England have been absolutely shit since the goal.
They get knocked out if they play like this against Denmark.

They’re trying to play a game that is not natural for them. That is score early and try to “manage” ie kill the game off as a spectacle. But they aren’t as good defensively as they think, and a couple of times Ukraine have got in behind that shit defence but didn’t have the quality to make anything of it.

You're right, Southgate has them trying to play a cerebral game but it's not what English players want to do when they come together. But it'll probably be enough to get to the final because they'll only play one leading country all the way.

Every time I watch them I'm just never convinced, they are so lucky to be on this side of the draw.
