Tragic Football Stories - Let us Kick Around the misshapen Jabulani that is English football right here

nuh uh give me more kosovo goals pls

oh lol

xxp

oof

Glad I bore with it

hahahahaha come back NV come baaaaack this is so much fun

these lads are a bit eh demonstrative

is this that forest keeper? he was good at the valley except for his kicking

starting to think that any free kick should be passed rather than shot regardless of position

england on the attack, given free kick when they had advantage, shot wide from 30 yards. just pick up where you left off

imagine in ten years time when that era's pep comes up with the idea of kickouts

I'm pretty sure this is terrible but it is's entertaining af

keane is such a graceless lump, what the hell is he doing in this side

england are so purposeless now, sancho and sterling aside. it's almost like GCHQ had a word at half time

wooof welcome to the game mason

kosovo #9 > kane

I'm pretty sure this is terrible but it is's entertaining af

not messing but approaching these games like this is marketing/morale genius from southgate

stressing over tactics against vastly inferior teams is toxic, poch out

lessons I will never learn no matter what: 1. buying fruit from supermarkets 2. watching the latter stages of football matches I'm not otherwise arsed about when I notice an unusually high score

aggregate rien

omg

Ffs don't cut to a break while they're playing "Gold Dust", that were the highlight

Sancho made a moving tribute to his dead nan and the interviewer just ignored him and asked him about the 2nd half o_O

Josh: Got to give the English fans credit for drowning out the nastiness with a cracking rendition of God save the Queen.

drowning out nastiness with nastiness

I'm glad I didn't hear that given that this was the first time ever I've been happy to watch an England football absolutely mollicate another team.

... football team ffs!!!!!

lmao at the U21s

lol beautiful

jinxed it

ach

AHAHAHAHA they've equalised again!!

and it finishes 3-3, you LOVE to see it

Oh my word hahaha

Innovative triple right-back formation being tried out today.

Didn’t really want Grealish playing 3 games in a week while carrying an injury; otoh of course fuck that cowardy custard Gareth Southgate, that has obviously not factored into his selection today at all, I hope we snooze our way to a 2-0 defeat and the pressure ratchets up on the arsehole

Southgate specifically said that his selection for the Wales friendly was about players's fitness and how much they'd played so let's assume more Big Club bullshit and etc etc

Lol, Dier.

Is that his fourth of the season?

Sad that England have finally conceded a goal with Connor Coady playing tho

There has to be a better option than Dier at CB but lord knows who. Tarkowski maybe?

Not sure about CC in a back 4 tbh but I'm happy for him if the caps make him proud

England have three or maybe four creative attacking midfielders who could make something happen here and none of them are on the pitch.

i thought Southgate was a thoughtful coach at first but he's moving a lot closer to the terrible coward zone with every game

oh ffs random Anglo-Pen

Carrasco lol.

Coady and Mings at CB could do no worse than this bunch of clowns imo. You'd hope that Stones is done at this level for the time being (don't count on it), Gomez was so severely awful against the Villa the other day, he could probably do with some time out of the spotlight. Tarkowski only just coming back from injury, I think?

There are no issues here though, it's 1-1 going into halftme, obviously two evenly matched teams out there. England would obviously be running away with it if only Kane and Sterling were out there

well the main ish is that for all Southgate's new broom new approach he's still a sucker for the "the best players are all at the big clubs with the biggest media narrative" Roy of the Rovers bullshit

ofc, tha'ts a given. incredibly frustrating to watch, even with the personnel limitations of this squad you can imagine a back four and a Henderson-Phillips/Rice-Grealish midfield trio and Sancho wide on the right offering so much more on the ball. can only imagine the pressure continuing to build the longer Southgate persists with playing 5 at the back and a pair of cloggers in the centre while there's all this talent performing on the weekly at club level
