Why? What is it achieving when fans, managers and players are only interested in the WC and Euros?

We should be using it to get the world Cup team working properly.  Southgate once again taking pressure off himself by saying he needs to "look" at different players....I don't buy this, I think he's too people pleasing and wants everyone to get equal game time....Nice man but that's his problem.

We need to get a first team organised that is set and it needs to evolve in these games coming up.  If this carries on we will be out of that world cup in the first round

I like the idea of the nations league. Sadly with covid and this daft World Cup i think the competitions  credibility could already be ruined by having to cram games in.

That might not be a bad thing. There won't be many outdoor venues to watch the games in Nov/Dec. So pubs will be packed and fuses will be short.

Wow! Wish I could've seen Ronnie play - before my time unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how u look at it 😆) but I love watching Declan Rice. I think he's probably one of the most underrated players in the prem.

Oh, & tonight? Bore fest. Nation's League? Scrap it, glorified friendlies.

Rice is the nearest in style and position to Ronnie that I’ve seen playing for England recently. What we used to call a “ wing half “. The link between the defence and the advanced midfield. Unfortunately Mason Mount will never be the new Bryan Douglas even if he lives to be a thousand.

Rice is so underrated by some people but hes an excellent midfielder.  His energy and combative style is what's so impressive.  He reminds me of Paul ince.  He will never dominate a game but if he had a more calming presence alongside him like jude Bellingham, the midfield could work

I have given up on the shite display,switched over to watch the RL on Freesports instead.

[simongarnerisgod]

tired players who have been forced to extend their season for a pointless competition  that nobody wants,no wonder it`s a **** game

[AllRoverAsia]

I watched NZ v the trash of Costa Rica and a Ref that makes our EFL rubbish look world class. I hope he was paid well.

Off to watch England maybe try and salvage some pride.

Germany may disagree that these games are a waste of time, a view taken by losers.

Get rid of Souhgate. Useless

Southgate is tactically useless. He's a younger Mowbray. Negative. Awful.

Those Hungary players, who are in with a real chance of achieving something for their country in this competition, seem to want to be playing Nations League. They're over the moon.

I said it last week, it's not the fault of the competition, which I quite lie.  It's the fault of the timing of the World Cup. These games now should be the Autumn internationals.

Also, good job this isn't Pickford else he would be getting murdered.

If that red card doesn't start the campaign for a BS rule change, I don't know what will. 

VAR can't judge a red card from a 2nd yellow, but can for just about everything else on the pitch. It's laughable. 

One look at a replay shows the Hungary player ran into him to feign the incident and achieve his aim. (Excellenty executed too.)

But if anything, it should be reversed and him yellowed.

VAR will have seen that instantly,  but can't do anything about it. Ridiculous. 

[roverandout]

Southgate totally out of his depth.  F*cking useless. Can't set a team up. Makes poor subs. Time for him to go

[simongarnerisgod]

southgate is going to get absolutely pillored by the press for this,don`t particularly care for his management(he`s a gold plated mowbray imo) but he seems a decent bloke,does`nt deserve whats coming to him tommorow morning though

[SuperBrfc]

Southgate is the Mowbray of international football. Doesn't have a clue what to do with the talent at his disposal, so goes the defensive, scared route and gets humiliated.

He's peaked with the Euros, his time is up.

[Silas]

Lol, worst home defeat in almost a century. 

Quite the result. 

[RoverDom]

Stupid tournament at stupid time with an England squad, most of whom have had a poor season at club level and we treated it as a glorified friendly tournament. Horrible result but I'm not worried.

In my lifetime Southgate has given us the best tournament results. England are always lacklustre between tournament buy so far Southgate has delivered when it matters.

Delivered? Don't remember any silverware.

Saks off, Maguire on whilst getting stuffed. Words fail me.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

That is without doubt the worst England performance I’ve seen in my lifetime and that’s 62 years of football. Beyond embarrassing. Worse than when we lost to bloody Iceland and Roy Boy resigned the next day, Southgate should do the same. As I said in another thread. - if they put the goals at the sides of the pitch instead of at the end when England play we might do better. 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

We’ll win nothing with Southgate in charge. Just a younger version of Mowbray.
