    How that wasn’t a corner to Austria is a disgrace. How can ref and linesman miss that, then the French go up the park and score soon after.

    That was nuts. His pace is wild to watch at times.

    Slightly depressed watching the other games at this tournament so far. Scotland are, comfortably, the worst team.

    Yer Albania’s and Austria’s etc… all have a formulated plan and are competitive. We turned up and bent over with a tub of lube. Still can’t get over how bad a performance it was.

    You should've turned on your tele for Ukraine then.

    I’m questioning him in the biggest games for England. As I said earlier, if you can point to the big games where he has played well then go for it. Happy to debate it.

    Their record in tournaments since Southgate took over is actually very good.

    Watched the entire thing with my feet up in the office, the underdog won by playing with heart and a plan. Thus proving my point further.

    You’re not at all, you’re happy to have an opinion on him and won’t let the facts get in the way of it. Which is fair enough tbh but they are facts all the same.

    Getting pumped by Romania over Ukraine, proved your point that Scotland got pumped by Germany?

    Germany will go near, Ukraine won't get out there group, and there is 3 teams able to qualify.

    Scotland were, by far and away, worse than Ukraine. The opponent was immaterial.

    Scotland didn’t put 3 passes together in 90 minutes, they were shafted sideways dry. An abomination of a performance.

    No really. I’ve acknowledged he is a brilliant finisher. Said it numerous times now. I questioned him in the big games. Have a look back if you have missed that. You’re arguing against that despite admitting you haven’t seen much of England. Strange if you haven’t watched them in the big games.

    I’ve watched Kane for literally years including against Scotland I know fine well how good he is without having to go and check his performances for England against bigger sides.

    Your talking complete claptrap, Scotland were pish but we were playing Germany.

    You obviously have no clue about the qualifying, Romania won their fkn group, over Swiss, Ukraine qualified due to their nations league, they finished 3rd in the group, not got a clue about the underdog stuff your going on about.

    I'm not disagreeing about Scotland were pish, but Ukraine were fkn awful and playing a far weaker team.

    Ill gice you Kane is world class, but the Scotland thing is just pish.

    Couple of nasty head knocks for France.

    That's a broken nose for Mbappe I reckon

    So what are you actually arguing against then? Because I specifically criticised him for his performances in big games. It’s not always about just scoring goals. Look at Giroud at the World Cup in Russia. Correct me if I’m wrong, he never scored a single goal. Still won the World Cup though and was an integral part of that.
