    Southgate is clueless, but the players have to take far more responsibility. Coaching is extremely important but good players don't just turn into donkeys who can't pass just because they have a poor manager. Also, what that tweeter fails to understand or acknowledge (and I said this yesterday...

    He's basically a forward, he plays right up with Vinicius and Rodrygo when I watch Real Madrid. I think judging players by stats is everything that is wrong with modern football. He gets on the scoresheet yes, but his general game is absolutely average at best.

    He was ok but the way they go on about him is way OTT. Also, youtube videos by their nature are very misleading. Also, read this online from someone else, this is how I feel about Bellingham: 'Bellingham is one of those players that i read constantly how amazing he is but when i watch him i...

    Thanks for informing me. I just cannot stay awake for these games.

    Euro 2024

    Some hysterical people saying Mainoo was 'amazing' last night when he came on. He did ok against a tiring Slovenia, but I feel like I am being gaslit by the praise around this boy. How is he being described in superlatives such as 'amazing' or 'brilliant' last night? These words are being...

    I agree but should he really be THAT skinny? He looks ill. I should know as I have been that skinny before. In saying that you may have a point as I had more energy (on the park, not off) when I was like that than when I got back to a healthy weight. Even though they almost banned me from...

    Vinícius Júnior

    That's harsh. I don't think Vini is as bad as some. He's played with hundreds of players - is Vini really the worst lol? I'd say Casemiro and Ederson look as bad for a start. Either way that is a totally unnecessary and harsh question to ask Neymar. I think he's just saying Vini for banter tbh.

    Copa América 2024

    Fell asleep and missed them - well done to Canada. Think I predicted 1-1 there. I am still annoyed I keep missing these games but there isn't much I can do as my sleep pattern is set to be awake fair early and asleep by about 11pm or midnight at the moment. How did Argentina play? Seen it was a...

    Euro 2024

    I have seen a few recent photos like this and it's worrying how emaciated he looks. He's a professional athlete and shouldn't be this slim. I hope he's okay behind the scenes because I have been really skinny like this before (not now) and it is no fun. You constantly feel tired, headaches etc.

    Ok, so what do people think for Group E tomorrow? I assume people think Belgium will defeat Ukraine. But Slovakia-Romania looks really difficult to call. It could be a draw which would send both through if there's a winner in the other game. I have predicted 1-0 Romania though.

    Euro 2024

    It's just from playing and watching football all my life, It's an obvious thing that often a team can be better than its individual players - and other teams can be worse as they're just a collection of ballers thrown together with no coherent plan, clue or idea. Coaching really is a very...

    He's definitely better than the other two but still not entirely sure. Then again, I am willing to acknowledge I may be underrating him.

    Yeah I like Simons, I agree with you there.

    Euro 2024

    I have watched them mate. They are decent, I just wouldn't describe them as 'top'. I agree Aslani is a talented guy. Maybe it is splitting hairs. I am not saying they're terrible. Just that I don't believe they are top or world-class players. Anyway, this is all said with respect as I am not...

    Euro 2024

    I understand that, Austria are better than the sum of their parts. But I don't think there's a great disparity with the Dutch, to be honest. I'd say Baumgartner gets in too. So those Laimer, him and Sabitzer would all be in the Dutch team I would say. I am not saying they're world beaters, as...

    Birdy? Yeah he seems a good lad. I just don't know why he is rating those players so highly.

    Euro 2024

    He seems a very nice guy, Birdy. I just don't understand how he can call those players 'top players'. They clearly are not. Then people will slag off similar players from less fashionable countries. Football is not played on paper, it's played on grass. You don't win anything through being...

    Euro 2024

    Yeah I don't get how anyone describes nothing or at best decent players like Reijnders, Maatsen, Dumfries and Malen as 'top players'. No chance he'd say that if they were wearing an Albanian top.

    Euro 2024

    Furthermore, all of England's best players are Kane, Stones and the wingers/attacking midfielders. They are top heavy. It is like when idiots slagged off Messi cos of how 'strong' the Argentina squad was - even though their best players were all forwards and only so many can play at once. There...

    Euro 2024

    What makes them top players exactly? They're big 'names' but they rarely impress to be honest. As an example, I have watched Malen a lot, and I would never describe him as a 'top player'. Ditto Maatsen. If they were Slovenian or Georgian and not Dutch, would you still describe them as top...
