Holland and Spain/France are both going to roll over for England...even they are sick of the Southgate criticism!

Stuart pearce is morphing into Johnny rotten

They have brought a ref in to get them to the final.

Come on! Don't get caught up in the hysteria. We all know the Southgate Algorithm by now. The first decent team we come up against in the Knock-Out stages, we lose. Not because we don't have the players, but because we don't have the right manager. You need a proactive manager in these games who can read a game, foresee danger and mitigate against it before it happens by making changes. Instead we have a manager, who will be like a rabbit-caught-in-the-headlights, too scared to make changes before the 90+5 minute mark when Holland get a winner with the last kick of the match, with Koeman having made 5 changes during regulatory time and Southgate making none even though Holland were piling on the pressure in the second half. Southgate should be nowhere near this team.

@lemon_j22

13 күн бұрын

Exactly. At this point hysteria/heart really overwhelms critical thinking. I'm an England fan too, and you can understand how we really just want us to win, because that's what it's all about hey. We want a celebration, we want to be winners. But leaving all that aside and putting myself in a purely neutral position and looking at the facts, we're highly likely to lose. I pretty much agree with you on how it will play out. My prediction is that we go 1 nil down, probably not too long into the second half. The first half is pretty open play (dare I say, even entertaining!), but we kind of cancel each other out so there's no goals. Anyway Netherlands finally score in the second half, around 55 mins. England know they can't play deep in this situation, and so our players are actually allowed to play to their capabilities. We get one back around the 70th minute mark. Then on come the brakes and we start to play ultra deep and hope for a lucky break from one of Pickford's perfectly aimed goal kicks (not), as per Southgate's usual actics (er I mean "tactics"). Although I blame Southgate for this, I also think that this deep playing mindset is compounded by the current egomania the England players have around their penalty taking abilities. If England had only just scraped through penalties, then I think some of the players may have somewhat ignored Southgate's antics and tried to intelligently play up the pitch more to get a win. The Netherlands pound our deep position for the rest of the game until they score the winner very late on. I was going to say I don't think it will go to extra time, but then the way England games play out I think the suffering will last as long as possible, so I reckon we will sit very deep all the way to near the end of extra time. I predict the Netherlands will score their second goal in the first half of extra time. Then England once again allow their players to actually play. But by this time the clock is ticking down, the pressure is so much that the plays from England are tinged with a desperation that affects their playing judgements. We get some very close chances, but no wonder miracle goals this time (because as entertaining as they are, they aren't realistic ways to ensure that you win. It's like playing 1-36 on the roulette table. Spectacular when your number lands, but you know it's likely not to). Koeman's boys keep cool heads and see it through. Then we all bemoan how we should never have gone so deep after the equalizer, how the players were holding out for penalties, yada yada. Anyway that's how I see it. PS: It could possibly go a very similar way, only with more goals, so it could be 3 - 2 to the Netherlands. I think it'll either be 2-1 or 3-2 to the Netherlands. But I'll go for 2 - 1 to the Netherlands. My heart hopes I'm wrong. But if you want a level-headed analytical prediction based on the facts, there it is.

@lemon_j22

Stuart Pearce and Roger Bisby separated at birth

Kane is too slow but will play. Foden will be played out of positions but will remain in that position. Saka will not really impact the game but if he scores he becomes the best player in the competition. Tomorrow will be about luck not performance and that will not be enough to overcome Spain but good enough to win against Holland, a 50/50 game.

The great teams we remember didn't always win: Hungary 54, Holland 74, Brazil plus France 82, etc.

TBH I have no issue with Spain winning it, they have been the best team by far. I just can’t see us stinking it past them even if we do get past the Dutch. When you look at how Steve Cooper got our kids to win the World Cup the performances were a step above this, I have a feeling the blame will end up with the fans for not getting behind the team, when the inevitable finally happens !

I suggest the English stop underestimating the Spanish

Wrong Simon. The team which we remember from 74 is Cruyff's Dutch team, total football. And the team we remember from 82 is the Brazil of Zico and Socrates. I could go on.

If you had to go to war you’d go with Stuart he’s spot on

Wind it in Pearce! It's just hypocritical to have a go a white when YOU praised Gareth and said he could leave and manage a top premiership side when he was making a pigs ear of his England tactics in this tournament!... no you can't Pearce!

Southgate is a modern day Charles Cornwallis, he has some of the Best Bang Average British footballers but is struggling to a Rag Tag group of Rebels.

People forgetting Jim is a rangers fan so supports England

First real test for England... Lets see

Does Jordan get a kick out of being wrong or something? The last thing England need is the worst predictor of sporting events on radio predicting England will win the competition, when they are already underperforming as it is.

Same starting line up as the last two games i reckon

Stuart Pearce sounds deluded.

Simon got it wrong already, spain in final and they are going to win it

Oh look, France beaten by Spain. Another failed Jordan prediction on the horizon.

It’s very tired and predictable from these pundit clowns always so down and negative on the national team.

Southgate's had YEARS to formulate a plan where we can play down both wings, off diags and thru the middle, so why are only able to create on the right wing? He's soo limited!

What a load of drivel

Talking of mr preview southgate reminds me of the morecambe and wise sketch i am playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order

LOL, why is Jordan predicting England's win in the final when England are the weakest side of the four semifinalists? They have the least quality as a team and also individually. It can still happen of course, because luck can be a very important factory in football matches, but normally the weakest team doesn't win a trophy. Be optimistic, Jordan, England won't win this Euro.
