    I'd love us to win. The original 3 Lions is associated with some of my earliest international football memories. Hopeful youth of '96.

    I expect us to get knocked out by Germany on penalties in the Round of 16.

    Win the group, country goes mental. Followed by crushing disappointment. I've learned a lot in the last 25 years.

    Scotland could do us a favour tonight - runners in Gp D up have an easier route to the QF than winners do.

    If we win the group we avoid France and Italy until the final, although it makes the next round a lot more difficult

    Think the home advantage except for quarters is worth having. Although it looks like we might lose that for semis and final now if Boris refuses to compromise on visiting fans having to quarantine.

    Southgate has got it horribly wrong.

    @Ben 10 posted a side we should play and I personally think ward Prowse Wilson and ings should be there in the sqaud

    Looking forward to Southgate getting a PL job and being shown up for the useless chancer he is.

    Sterling/Kane should not be starting.

    The entire set up and style of play is all wrong.

    That side doesn't work and he doesn't have the subs to change it enough once it's started

    He needs to pick a completely different system and 11 otherwise it's going to continue, but like all these guys they're too stubborn.

    Southgate has been told the takeover is happening so play yourself out of a job so you can replace Bruce
    Grass is greener and all that <doh>

    I couldn’t tell you what the system even is. Plod through possession with no incisive attacks, then mad panic when we lose the ball to get it back and plod through possession with no incisive…..rinse repeat.

    The players like mount sterling are trying to play like they do with their club teams and unfortunately they don't all play together regularly enough to do it imo.

    It needs simplifying just go out there and attack the goal

    We should have started with Phillips & Rice yesterday. We've got the players to back ourselves properly against Scotland
