‘Supposed’

Yep, just getting hyped in the hype… haha. It’s the closest we’ve had to team news yet. From the BBC site.

No Foden, Mount or Grealish. Thanks for your service Southgate. You won’t be missed

Where is Trippier going to play? Interesting.

Is he playing 5 at the back?!

Mount hasn’t been able to train with the team, because of having to isolate, so you can see there is some reasoning why he has been left out of the starting 11. Foden and Grealish though!?!

Impact subs?

Good. Hopefully 3-4-3 doesn’t become 5-4-1.

He got man of the match, right? But Grealish set up Sterling’s goal though, after having a bore draw with Scotland, we could do with a creative player from the start.

Daughter in nursery until 6. Gonna try and scramble there and back to collect her a couple minutes before the 45m whistle.

The negativity on twitter is doing my nut.

It’s always the same.

What they saying?

I tend to find they’re not real fans in the first place. I was talking about how gutted I’d be if England go out and a mate, a ‘England fan’ shrugged it off and said, ‘Well the rest of the tournament will be great still!’

Narrator’s voice:
‘It was at that point voodoo suspected they weren’t a real England fan like they had been making out and it was all a big act!’

England games must be the hardest to predict. I can usually hazard a guess at other countries but your own is rock hard.

lol come on Ned. Be positive.

Fact, you’re not a true England fan unless you have the flag tattood on your chest and walk around shirtless singing the national anthem. Don’t you dare be negative

I think England will win. I think it’ll be dry. I think this squad deserves a less cautious manager. But by all means let’s win the tournament averaging 3 shots a game
