That was awful performance full of lack of effort, tempo and desire. 

Not good enough

I turned it off at half time. I was nodding off in my chair.

Way I see it, Tuchel has been brought in to win a tournament, if he doesn’t manage that, he’s failed, it’s that simple.

I don’t think we’ve got as strong of a side as Spain, or even France, tbh, so he’ll have to find a way to win, as we won’t out play them.

Will Spain or France be the team to beat at the world cup? 

Tuchel has a big job ahead

Can't blame anyone who did. It's was truly pathetic performance

I think they’ve got better players than anyone else, Spain probably just edge it, though.

It's all depends who adapt the conditions in USA, Canada and Mexico.

Wide open at this stage for me. Ancelotti in charge of Brazil will be contender, Argentina, Spain, France, Germany and us. 

Italy have just sack their manager

I’ve had time to take stock….. We beat a Ski Resort 1-0……

This has to be one of the worst England results since conceding to San Marino in 1993?

Worrying.

It is a little bit worrying, if you pick Jordan Henderson at this stage you deserve all you get.

However, he's been brought in to try and win a tournament. That's all that really matters. He needs to at least reach the semi final to match Southgate.

Probably if you're a big Southgate fan you'll be jumping up and down at these irrelevant performances and results.

If like me you couldn't stand Southgate you'll be a bit more philosophical about the situation recognising it's only how we do at the World Cup which really counts.

After which he should have been potted.

Massively outstayed his welcome after that.

Most England managers don’t get anywhere near the line. 
 

In 50 years time when we haven’t got anywhere near another final, Southgate may get the respect he deserves. 

Telling he hasn't gone near another managerial job.

Knows he's not up to it.

[Mattyblue]

England stroll through every qualification group, they are literally strolling through this one.

Means bugger all as the vast majority of the time, for the big nations, tournament qualifying is no longer ‘competitive’ due to so many small European sides just making up the numbers in groups and so many tournament places up for grabs due to expanded competitions. We’ll see next summer if Tuchel has brought anything.

Just scrap the qualifiers and merge it into the Nations League, all a waste of time, and the players know it.

France possibly have the best set of players in the world but the feeling is that Deschamps is overstaying his welcome.

I watched the nations league game between France and Spain and it was a fantastic match. Spain were the stand out side and obviously won it and look a class above everyone else.

Brazil have struggled recently but with their set of players they surely will be a threat now Ancelotti is in charge. Portugal also have some really good players and impressed v Germany but their biggest issue maybe Ronaldo who is now 40 playing until he decides otherwise and Martinez in charge.

I still think that England's side is overhyped and it feels like we are beyond the peak of this current team, with a number of key defensive players that were key in getting far in previous tournaments now over the hill. We have a weak set of defenders, issues balancing the midfield and a number of quality attackers but ones who all want to play in the same areas.

[Erased Citizen]

Deschamps definitely on a bit of a not so friendly parade lap for this World Cup, there’s a decent chance of a French implosion a la 2010 and 2002. They do have a very strong squad if they can all get along for 6 weeks during the tournament. 
 

Spain look pretty formidable at this point, Yamal is an absolute star but Germany ran them very close in the Euros and they also have young players coming to the fore. 
 

I seriously doubt Portugal can go far with Ronaldo still starting every game, he’s really not worth his spot anymore and his antics at the Euros were pretty embarrassing.

Agree re Brazil and England, both teams with very good players that just can’t seem to come together in a coherent team.

I know, he should have gone out early like everyone else.

Ridiculous statement.
