keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 16, 2023 Andros talking rubbish. We have great depth and quality second only to France and people don't appreciate that. So why do we never win a tournament? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Hairy 3,774 Posted June 16, 2023 If we had great depth we wouldn't have ****ing Maguire starting every game. He wouldn't get near the squad of any other top10 nation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They played Italy in March. The new format pits international minnows against the biggest nations in Europe really quite regularly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

England have a bumper crop of attacking midfielders but no top-drawer goalies, not much at centre-half, not much at left-back and if Kane's out there's no obvious class replacement. Possibly Rashford. England's team is imbalanced but has a lot of attacking promise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt we’ll ever have the pleasure of playing Paulton Rovers again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Paddons Beard 2,435 Posted June 16, 2023 3.0 after 30 mins. All Malta can look forward to is swapping shirts at the end. Utterly pointless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 16, 2023 I wish more would shoot like TAA did. If the opposition just packs it area and won't come out, sticking five more of ours in the box isn't really going to help. Shoot more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
