Boom. Amazing what happens when you attack instead of sitting back

Lots of English exceptionalism in this post. Southgate said before the World Cup we constantly as a nation over-rate ourselves

Southgate certainly has his favourites, and Saka is one of them. Sterling would probably have started too.

You have to wonder how Puskas would have fared in the modern game. He could barely run yet he was a genius, one of the all-time greats. One player who would have been just as good in the modern game is Eusebio, a free running striker way ahead of his time

Duggie was a lovely player to watch. As with all the best players, it's just something in the way they move It's the reason I loved watching at their peak the likes of Cryuff and C Ronaldo rather than Maradona or Messi. They first 2 were/are beautiful players, elegant in their movement.

Pakistan’s batting was very impressive to get so close to England’s score. They could have been demoralised but they played some brilliant shots and every ball on its merit. England lost a couple of quick wickets in 2nd innings. To lose it from here would be even more impressive

Wash yer mouth out matey! It’s football. Leave the soccer to US women and English public schoolboys

Australia goalkeeper provided another example of why this constant obsession with playing out from the back is a recipe for trouble Tomasson take note

Hearts were awful. To say it looked like a training match would be kind.

Battle of Berne, Brazil v Hungary 1954 was an infamous match Referee was Arthur Ellis, later of It's A Knockout fame The players continued fighting in the dressing room afterwards

My first instinct was the ball was over the line and that picture looks conclusive. Expect a complaint from Germany - and perhaps with good reason

Germany out. For you Fritz, ze war is over And other cliches.

Germany 3-2 but still going out as it stands

Fans out there from all countries are loving it according to the paper. Most venues within short distance of each other, carnival atmosphere in Doha, good food and weather, and they feel very safe

Germany and Spain out as it stands Blimey Germans equalise

Japan ahead! Have to say the ball looked out to me. VAR wrong again?

Brilliant goal by Japan. Now score another one please....

edit - wrong thread

They're so good in fact that not a single one has won the Premier League in 30 years and very few are deemed good enough to manage the so-called elite group of clubs. Why do you think that is?

The discussion was about English coaches and their poor quality / failures. Dalglish is a Scot so it isn't valid Howe will probably replace Southgate. He's won nothing but he talks nicely

Well done for changing the goalposts

No English manager has ever finished higher than second in the Premier League, while Howard Wilkinson is the last to win the top flight, way back in 1992. That's England's top football league in the modern era - never won by an Englishman Says it all really. Foreign and especially Continental coaches know and understand the game better

White shorts, white, socks, and the best Rovers shirt of all, with the previous V-neck version second No logos, no advertising. Simple, elegant, a design classic, superb. Should be our strip every season. No change

Kindly tell the England hordes next time we play Germany or Argentina

England should wrap Kyle Walker in cotton wool. Assuming it's France v England in the quarters he's our only defender with the pace to compete with Mbappe. Best thing for England this World Cup is the rehabilitation of Marcus Rashford who's finally getting back to the form of a few years ago. Good to see.
