The Road To Germany 2024

[jd1981]

Exactly the point it’s absolutely not a none story

Well you could argue it was in England's best interests to lose to Belgium in the 2018 World Cup, in a format we all agree is spot on.

It's a weird anomaly and I'll happily bet anyone that Ireland don't get a playoff.

That's not binary though, that's subjective - as you say "it could be argued".

Where as Ireland 100% improve their chances of qualifying by losing.

How does Conor Gallagher get a gig. I'd pick Kenny over him and his hips are falling off the bone like pulled pork.

 

[Kenny]

Off all the things to pick me up on. Hips work fine thank you very much.

Rest of me is fucked mind

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Weird team

Pickford

Tomori
Guehi
Maguire
Trippier

Alexander-Arnold
Gallagher
Henderson

Foden
Kane
Rashford

Absolutely no interest in watching it at all.

Denim jackets with sleeves?

Denim jackets with sleeves?

A denim jacket has to have sleeves or its a cut off surely?

Any song with more than 4 chords is jazz and so shit.

To be fair I never watch the international games unless it’s a major tournament, they just don’t interest me. Watching England used to be magic like FA Cup Final day, now they’re both just wank.

Yeah...

Pretty sure watching Taylor's England or Hoddle's England in qualifiers wasn't that good. Or Venables' England in a load of friendlies that were almost all very low scoring.

And that's virtually the whole non-tournament 1990s covered.

I grew out of the FA Cup Final day in ‘88 so probably around the same time. That game was just so dull.

 

[sycophantia]

I've no real interest but probably would have watched but the missus wants to watch CIN.
We've already qualified, Southgate doesn't seem to be interested in experimenting so it's all a bit pointless for me. Also I think the internationals are so regular that it's lost its shine, just gets in the way of league football.

Guarantee that anyone watching the 2023 equivalent of 'all day' FA Cup Final stuff would say it was awful.

Just there was nothing else to watch in 1983 and there was about 2% of the amount of football available as now.

The only England games I watch these days are finals. Didn't really pay much attention ti them either.
