If the Swiss go 1-0 up as they showed yesterday they have the quality to go and get that second goal to kill the game. Slovakia were dogged but second half they posed absolutely no threat offensively and were only intent on hanging on to the one goal lead.

I'll take that as you can't think of anything of note. I know you like an echo chamber.

What has he ever done of note in nearly 40 appearances in an England shirt? Although if you threshold is having shots then perhaps you aren't the right person to answer that question. I am singling him out because he has played nearly 40 times now for England and done nothing of note. I've read people of here saying about dropping Kane or Bellingham but they have shown why you don't drop them as they stand up and produce when needed Foden shrinks when wearing an England shirt.

He had shots. Talk about clutching at straws.

Because they have delivered when its has mattered most. The only time Foden has delivered in an England squad was in an Icelandic hotel room.

Looking a hell of a lot better without Foden. As I have said on here before Bellingham and Kane are levels above him in an England shirt.

Michael Oliver and Stuart Atwell an embarrassment to English football. Oliver never fails to make a game all about him and Atwell should have been banned from every officiating again after the goal he gave at Watford many years ago.

Sums up England really when you are having to big up a player who played for 5 minutes and probably only touched the ball 4 or 5 times at most. Having seen Bellingham's passing last night I would not be playing him as a number 8, he is better of playing nearer to goal not further away. Ancelotti said something similar when asked about Bellingham being the heir to Kroos at Real Madrid.

He also has the most goals in competitive matches and the most goals in major tournaments for England.

Score occasionally. He does a bit more than that he is England's all time record goal scorer. He's got nearly double the number of England goals as the rest of the squad combined.

Foden might be a better player when he is being coached by Pep and surrounded by his City team mates but he doesn't do it in an England shirt. I remember people saying the same things about Kane after the group stages of the last Euro's and he ended up as our top scorer. Opposition defences will be delighted to play England and see Harry Kane sat on the bench. The most memorable thing Foden has done as an England player was breaking covid rules in Iceland to get his leg over. Talking of Iceland Foden played in the 10 role against them for England a few weeks ago and was as he usually is in a England shirt invisible.

A German team in a tournament on home soil are always going to be hard to beat.

Harry Kane has produced time and time again in an England shirt, Phil Foden has worn the shirt nearly 40 times now and has done barely anything of note.

You said others (plural) hadn't done their job when I said England had got lucky with the side of the draw they are on. I am merely stating that the best 3 teams in the tournament so far to my mind have all got the job done and by the luck of the draw England have avoided being in their half.
