Ukraine will be more difficult to beat than Germany. Better team. Can't take this lightly at all

I haven't followed every England match as closely but it feels like Southgate has been the coach to rotate his starting 11 the most. Can be very important at this stage when everyone is tired to be more fresh than the opponent.

Along with Luis Enrique. He has rotated the wingers, fullbacks, and Laporte's partner at center back. Not one match with the same starting 11 also

England's tactics are very Mourinho like. Passive mid-block, wait the opposition to make a mistake, and then try to counter.

I can't rule out Ukraine at this stage because I'm seeing mistakes in England's build-up, and whenever England have broken up play they've been unable to retain possession. A lot of this game will be played in England's half.

Comfortable for England. That early goal conditions the match in exactly the way that benefits England's tactics of waiting for Ukraine to rush and make a mistake.

Ukraine don't have the sharpness to come back imo, particularly when playing without Malinovskyi

Ukraine are potty

by Jay29 Sat Jul 03, 2021 8:43 pm

Walker could be Ukraine's root back into the game.

He's been error prone and sloppy this half.

by Jay29 Sat Jul 03, 2021 9:08 pm

Slabhead makes it 2-0. We needed that since Ukraine were working their way back into the game.

Now to enjoy England sitting in for 45 minutes.

Henderson on for Rice to protect him from suspension.

I'm guessing Bellingham might come on for Phillips soon for the same reason.

by El Gunner Sat Jul 03, 2021 9:22 pm

shame on Ukraine Laughing

what a demolition

by Jay29 Sat Jul 03, 2021 9:24 pm

Henderson scores his first goal for England.

Ukraine have nothing left, emotionally and physically. The score can be whatever England want at this point.

by RealGunner Sat Jul 03, 2021 9:29 pm

Shevchenko always had the issue with adapting to England Laughing

What a performance ffs. Luke shaw has been immense.

by BarcaLearning Sat Jul 03, 2021 9:49 pm

tuned out after watching a bit of the first half, just boring for some reason, and tuned back in after 4-0 Razz

Wtf happened. It seems Ukraine just gave up? They just sat at the beginning and didnt press at all, England very comfortable on the ball? Same thing this second half from what Im seeing.

What a waste of a QF. This is why I dont like the expanded version u r just gonna get teams so far apart in quality.

ITS COMING HOME

This is the England less England ever, you can't feel that losing hysteria on the horizon. Team is mature.

Match against Germany was the sliding door ... The match against Germany usually is that match that bring down the curtain . But you won it , and ...

See you in final.

by CBarca Sat Jul 03, 2021 11:07 pm

It's fuckin coming home

Semifinals :bow:
