It aggravates me to no extent
Sometimes the best defense is attack
Why do we always fucking change it up when it's working? I understand if we score super late in the game but parking the bus for the majority of the game is just begging for shit like this
Thing is I don’t believe for a second he’s actually telling them to sit back. I’m sure he _wants_ us to go and get a second. He is just so incapable of setting a team up that we are so fragile as soon as the other team actually starts to put us under any amount of pressure
I know we’re all just armchairing here, but seriously, how can it be so tough to set up a team this top-heavy to provide a deterrent goal threat to prevent opponents from building up a head of steam? They have pace and quality on the wings, they have pace and quality down the middle, and they have a clinical forward who will punish defenders for giving him any space in the box.
They don’t even have to score a second goal, they just have to scare the other team into being more careful with their attempts to equalize. I know it’s not as simple as saying ‘find an open player downfield for a counterattack instead of clearing the ball at any opportunity,’ obviously something is missing, but what is it?
Are the attackers not making runs after the ball is won? Are the midfielders not making themselves available for the recovery pass? Or is it just that they haven’t been drilled on what to do in this exceedingly common scenario? I find it hard to believe that a professional manager at any level of the game, much less international football, would neglect to train their players on more active ways to defend a lead, but here we are. They look lost. Completely passive, just reacting to what the other team, a lesser team on-paper, is doing with the ball.
Desperately kicking the ball upfield or out of play is depressingly familiar. Can someone tell England that if you retain possession of the ball, the other team can't score...
Again, playing to a “just good enough” standard doesn’t set yourself for success later in the tournament. Greece pulled it off 20 years ago, but every single player was committed to the strategy.
Even if I don't support england, it's simply frustrating. You have THIS line up, one that could take on any team on the world, you have probably the highest quality national 11 in the world, yet you watch them drop back after scoring a goal in the first half vs much lower ranked teams
England's approach is so baffling. If you give every bit of control to your opponent and just let them put the pressure on you in your own area for long enough, you WILL concede.
They don't need to do this like smaller teams with vulnerabilities. They have the talent to make things hard for Denmark, but just choose not to.
Utterly bizarre. One of the most talented front fours at the tournament, and instructing them to step off and go easy at 1-0. Press up the park! You could get three or four!
The euros are becoming an orgy at this rate my god
Also mods deleting any goal post not by PSGacademy lol bro is on that Reddit karma contributor paycheck
He gives the mods kickbacks, money talks.
Also I don’t understand why if he has a monopoly on uploading why the mods don’t make him post actual full clips with replays and alternate angles.
This goal wasn't even clipped well. Zero run up to the shot. Even if the 10 seconds before isn't interesting, I'd like to see it over the player shooting the ball a second into it.
Look at /r/games for another example of this shit. Any news not submitted by Turbostrider27 gets deleted so that it can be resubmitted by that account.
Not really. By far his best quality is his ability to retain possession and withstand pressure. Dude might be completely surrounded and half off-balance and he'll still find a good option. He does scores some long range bangers if given the space, though.
The only reason he wasn't our clear cut player of the season is Gyokeres exists, and I genuinely think you could make a case regardless.
Truly elite holding midfielder. The best I've seen with our shirt, even better than William when he gave a fuck (who in turn is imo better than Ugarte and Palhinha)
Palhiinha is the best of all of those defensively. No doubt on that. But imo he benefits from playing for Fulham now. On a top tier team his on ball flaws would be more noticeable.
Not that he's awful. Can play the simple passes and is good at switching the play. But can't break lines whatsoever. For a possession team that would be tough in a top tier league (here it still worked fine)
William before he got injured and lost the whatever little pace he had was nuts,the amount of shit defenses william saved for us while also being one of the best passers in the team was someting.
how is he still the England manager? does the sensationalist media pressure make it an undesirable job?
the man clearly has no tactical sense, it just baffles me that he is a manager at all
Idk but the media loves him. They even made a play about him in the National Theatre about how he came and "changed the culture" and fixed all the team's problems.
He has objectively the best results of any England manager in the past 50 years, that's why. He's still trash but that just goes to show how underwhelming England have been for basically forever.
England have gone out to the first equal or better opponent every time in his tenure. Probably his best win is against Germany in 21 in a home stadium and they were the worst German side in decades. Every other knockout win they have been a superior squad where a loss would be a huge disappointment.
He lost a final playing exactly this brand of football 3 years ago and seems to have learned nothing.
Any team that is at least half decent will be scoring on England if they decide to play a deep and no press defence game for 75 minutes while defending a 1:0 lead.
I refuse to believe it’s a tactical decision to drop off after a goal. Especially after 20 mins. It’s psychological or we just can’t deal with teams who start to press because they are a goal down.
Agree it’s not a deliberate thing. I think it’s both a mentality issue and the fact that we are so tactically inept that we are incredibly easy to press and then panic under that pressure.
We’ve completely abandoned our left hand side with a right-footed left back and our only natural left-sided forward (Gordon) hasn’t played a single minute. He swapped Foden for Eze who wants to do the exact same thing and drift into the centre, sacrificing the entire left wing
After not seeing or hearing the word "aura" in 30 years, this is the 100th time I've seen it today. Are the kids bringing it back? Is it "having a moment?"
It's definitely coming back
Mainly on Twitter, where it seems to be a replacement for "man I find attractive and powerful, but my internalized homophobia prevents me from saying so"
i cant stand southgate, we go 1 up, and immediately drops off despite us being a better team before going 1 up. imagine if southgate had any sort of balls as a manager we might actually win something. obviously the goal is a banger but it was coming banger or not
You were not doing shit before the goal either, it was a mistake
Why are people saying like you were dominating, it was 1 mistake that cost Denmark
It was literally the same
The trajectory of that shoot was smooth as fuck, bisected Alexander-Arnold and Stones, and always in the air until it hit the post and rattle into the net. Pure sex.
Extremely good strike.
England have a throw and within like 15 seconds, it's in their own net.
It's a fantastic goal, but there are a whole bunch of mistakes that shouldn't happen leading up to that.

What a strike
80 Million, take it or leave it.
Hello, Manchester United here. Would you be willing to consider a counteroffer of £120mil + Antony?
no, the 120mil is enough
lol
80M immediate payment + 20M in parcels over 2 years, Chelsea and Man United, we're looking at you.
Tchouameni flashbacks, it’s almost the exact same
just further back
I love the sound it makes when the ball hits the post.
England deserve to concede some bangers when they decide to sit back immediately after conceding every damn time
I just dont get this logic. Is just dumb. Players dont help themselves by not pressing
It aggravates me to no extent Sometimes the best defense is attack Why do we always fucking change it up when it's working? I understand if we score super late in the game but parking the bus for the majority of the game is just begging for shit like this
Deserved. England went afk after 1-0
Parking the bus against Denmark isn’t how you win the Euros
It doesn't matter if it's France or penguins from Antarctica. England will park the bus after going up 1-0.
Speed would have been a very different film if Southgate was driving.
Holy 😂😂😂😂😂
Actual football terrorist. Imagine having that much talent and parking the bus at 1-0 in the 20th minute
Thing is I don’t believe for a second he’s actually telling them to sit back. I’m sure he _wants_ us to go and get a second. He is just so incapable of setting a team up that we are so fragile as soon as the other team actually starts to put us under any amount of pressure

They look lost. Completely passive, just reacting to what the other team, a lesser team on-paper, is doing with the ball.
England are being coached by Allegri?
Southgate is a terrorist too
Desperately kicking the ball upfield or out of play is depressingly familiar. Can someone tell England that if you retain possession of the ball, the other team can't score...
Can someone tell England that if you score more than 1 goal it makes it considerably easier to win.
Yes, and it helps if you don't hoof the ball away aimlessly so the other team gets possession. Can't bloody score if you don't have possession.
It’s genuinely embarrassing, the man was born to coach a minnow team with these tactics
He’s got to be gone after this Euros, this squad is brimming with world class talent they should be performing better than this
There were murmurings of him coming to us after the euros. I genuinely couldn't be happier that it's not happening.
Worst news I’ve heard all day, would’ve loved to see him at you guys
Would’ve been typical for us. Looks like the new crew have a bit more sense than that twat from London, Woodward.
That's why I was happy that my team germany didn't do it
Southgate will be happy with a draw, 4 points gets you through
Again, playing to a “just good enough” standard doesn’t set yourself for success later in the tournament. Greece pulled it off 20 years ago, but every single player was committed to the strategy.
He sets England out like they're Middlesbrough.
As everybody expected
Watching England after they go 1-0 up is like interacting with your least favorite coworker.
Reminds me so much of Steve Bruce, remember the amount of 1-0, 2-0 leads we bottled with that 'strategy'?
all those comments talking about how we're a miserable lot for thinking it'll be boring and england will sit back. yeah this is why
Even if I don't support england, it's simply frustrating. You have THIS line up, one that could take on any team on the world, you have probably the highest quality national 11 in the world, yet you watch them drop back after scoring a goal in the first half vs much lower ranked teams
It's the Southgate strategy, go aggressive early then park the bus and do nothing when the other team starts to look dangerous.
It's fucking disgusting tbh. People paid for tickets to see that game. They wanna see goals, not 1-0 and parking the bus.
I wouldn't care if it won tournaments but it doesn't because he does not react when things start heading south.
he does react, he takes off Trent for Gallagher and puts Bowen on for Saka. Every time.
If you're paying for tickets to watch Southgate's England then you already fucked up
It didn't start with Southgate. I've seen it again and again over the decades, and it makes it hard to support England.
‘Parking the bus at 1-0 got us to the euros final’ It also lost England the game vs Italy
England talk about making a final more than spurs making a ucl final
Completely expected that England would invite pressure after scoring 1 goal If England score again they will sit back again
So all England need to do under Southgate is score with the last kick of the game
Southgate that!
England's approach is so baffling. If you give every bit of control to your opponent and just let them put the pressure on you in your own area for long enough, you WILL concede. They don't need to do this like smaller teams with vulnerabilities. They have the talent to make things hard for Denmark, but just choose not to.
Utterly bizarre. One of the most talented front fours at the tournament, and instructing them to step off and go easy at 1-0. Press up the park! You could get three or four!
Yeah. They just hoof the ball away, right back into the opposing team's possession so they can attack all over again.
I don't know if it's coaching or a lack of leadership on the field. But something needs to change.
We have Pickford, Walker, Jude and Kane. I don’t think it’s a lack of leadership, it’s the other thing.
Every fucking time.
I hope Denmark win this and asist us on our way out of the tournament, only way we can get rid of this football terroist.
I think he's gone after this tournament either way.
Should have gone fucking ages ago
We can only hope this is true
thank fucking god
He didn't learn vs Serbia, Croatia, Italy or Denmark 2021 game. Southgate will never change
He's probably gone either way, weird to actively root against us
100%. I predicted this the moment england opened up the scoring.
BANGERS ONLY LETS GOOO
The euros are becoming an orgy at this rate my god Also mods deleting any goal post not by PSGacademy lol bro is on that Reddit karma contributor paycheck
And this clip is total shit, zero build up, only the touch and shot with no replays. I hate it.
He gives the mods kickbacks, money talks. Also I don’t understand why if he has a monopoly on uploading why the mods don’t make him post actual full clips with replays and alternate angles.
Because these clips are illegal, it’s one thing to let them post it “on their own,” another thing to pay someone to post illegal clips
He is the Upload King lmaoo
Dubz is so shit now though
Seriously. Watching it on mobile fucking blows.
Hes got the mods on his payroll
Nearly 5 million karma lol
Theyre more like the upload dictator the way theyre sending any other poster to a Siberian gulag lmao
Yeah I noticed that on the England goal, strange...
Should rename to screameracademy at this point
This goal wasn't even clipped well. Zero run up to the shot. Even if the 10 seconds before isn't interesting, I'd like to see it over the player shooting the ball a second into it.
EURO BANGERS 2024
The other post I saw was also from PSGAcademy, was just the wrong clip (first goal)
Look at /r/games for another example of this shit. Any news not submitted by Turbostrider27 gets deleted so that it can be resubmitted by that account.
Or fucking gallowboob.
It was psgacademy posting that too, but it was the kane goal clip again
the first post of the English goal was posted by someone else but that got sent to the shadow realm real quick
More than made up for Harry's snoozer
This is an outlier, English teams. Please look away :(
Amorim sweating right now
Yeah, listen to this guy. It was completely luck
he does this all the time doesn't he?
Not really since he usually is the deeper sitting midfielder, but whenever he gets the chance he has proven to have quite good long distance shots.
Not really. By far his best quality is his ability to retain possession and withstand pressure. Dude might be completely surrounded and half off-balance and he'll still find a good option. He does scores some long range bangers if given the space, though.
In Denmark we just realized just how good this guy is. Was fantastic in the two games before the cup
The only reason he wasn't our clear cut player of the season is Gyokeres exists, and I genuinely think you could make a case regardless. Truly elite holding midfielder. The best I've seen with our shirt, even better than William when he gave a fuck (who in turn is imo better than Ugarte and Palhinha)
Legit no idea why nobody in italy was in for him, total standout at Lecce
mou wanted him before he left. but roma had no money
Palhinha is still underrated among the public. He's the best defensive midfielder in the Prem according to a lot of analysts.
Palhiinha is the best of all of those defensively. No doubt on that. But imo he benefits from playing for Fulham now. On a top tier team his on ball flaws would be more noticeable. Not that he's awful. Can play the simple passes and is good at switching the play. But can't break lines whatsoever. For a possession team that would be tough in a top tier league (here it still worked fine)
I wanted him at Milan when he was with Lecce, enjoy him and the subsequent fee
Yeah, but Hjulmand wanted a big club.
William before he got injured and lost the whatever little pace he had was nuts,the amount of shit defenses william saved for us while also being one of the best passers in the team was someting.
Thank god. Cant believe Southgate just decides to stop playing after a 1 goal lead.
how is he still the England manager? does the sensationalist media pressure make it an undesirable job? the man clearly has no tactical sense, it just baffles me that he is a manager at all
Idk but the media loves him. They even made a play about him in the National Theatre about how he came and "changed the culture" and fixed all the team's problems.

Every other knockout win they have been a superior squad where a loss would be a huge disappointment.
He makes Berhalter look good which is sayin something.
HOLY SHIT
This is the tournament for bangers
least aesthetically pleasing Euro 24 goal
BANGERS ONLYYYYYYYYYYY
Harry Kane with the great assist!!!
Playing hoofball from the LB position just as Southgate planned
Completely deserved. Leave it to fucking Southgate and his terorrist tactics.
It'll be interesting to see if England can get back into gear now or if they've completely stalled out.
They are already in the gear. Too bad that's the only gear they seem to have
Bollocks they were alright before they scored they just seem to forget how to play every time they score.
[удалено]
England going up a goal early and then overly defending it is gonna lose them any chance at glory
He lost a final playing exactly this brand of football 3 years ago and seems to have learned nothing. Any team that is at least half decent will be scoring on England if they decide to play a deep and no press defence game for 75 minutes while defending a 1:0 lead.

He swapped Foden for Eze who wants to do the exact same thing and drift into the centre, sacrificing the entire left wing
Already cost us one semi and one final so far.
Gareth: "Imma need an adult here"
We may have defeated Al-Legri ball but not his idea.
oh captain my captain
Seba isnt here mate
Hjulmand is his understudy.
**€80 million** release clause thanks
England going 1-0 up, parking the bus and losing the lead. I’ve never seen this before.
OUR BOYYYY
What a way to score your first goal for the national team
Harry Kane responsible for another goal!
Skechers athlete of the year!
Complete hospital pass from him
Was he the player who gave it away?
Aimlessly kicked it into the middle of the pitch.
Yeah, it was a very nice pass
KÆMPE PATTER!!!
PATTER
bellingham just watching the ball pass next to him wtf fantastic finish
Him and Foden have been incredibly passive on defense
him and foden have been incredibly passive ~~on defense~~
True lmao
Like clockwork: score an early goal, stop playing football, sit back, pray. Sack this fraud
Kobbie Mainoo's aura would've put that wide i reckon
No doubt
After not seeing or hearing the word "aura" in 30 years, this is the 100th time I've seen it today. Are the kids bringing it back? Is it "having a moment?"
I'm just trying to get down with the kids. Mid aura rizz cap
Something something skibidi ahh comment
Fo shizzle dawg
The kids you’re getting down with have kids
Yes, aura is having a strong comeback atm
Did you miss VVD and his aura defending and subsequent memeing?
It's definitely coming back Mainly on Twitter, where it seems to be a replacement for "man I find attractive and powerful, but my internalized homophobia prevents me from saying so"
i cant stand southgate, we go 1 up, and immediately drops off despite us being a better team before going 1 up. imagine if southgate had any sort of balls as a manager we might actually win something. obviously the goal is a banger but it was coming banger or not
There’s nothing worse for this team than getting an early lucky goal. I don’t understand it.
You were not doing shit before the goal either, it was a mistake Why are people saying like you were dominating, it was 1 mistake that cost Denmark It was literally the same
I wouldn't say we were dominating at all but it definitely went from a scrappy even-ish game to being 1-way traffic the moment we scored
I detest the man and we should stop using his record of making it to a final and semi as praise for him. He should be gone
Average Hjulmand strike My boy
Only accepting offers of 100M. 200M for a Viktor and Morten combo.
What a banger
Most ordinary Euros goal.
What the actual fuck
yes_hahaha_yes.jpg
these are the goals you dream of hitting. orgasmic
His first for Denmark. He had a banger in his debut last year which was called back by VAR because of a very small offside in the build up.
Whaaaaaat? England went ahead and then sat back and they got punished? Nooooooo way What a hit though
Pls delete this
That's my boy!
Inevitable
Proper banger goal
THAT'S MY BOYYYYYY
What a shitty fucking clip. No build up, barely includes the shot
Let's go! The best danish player no bias
Danes still raiding the English I see
MEU MENINO!
Southgate playing like a pussy yet again
What a banger.
The trajectory of that shoot was smooth as fuck, bisected Alexander-Arnold and Stones, and always in the air until it hit the post and rattle into the net. Pure sex.
Southgate ball at its finest
Brilha menino!💚
Absolute THUNDERBASTARD
SACK SOUTHGATE, IT'S THE ONLY WAY IT WILL COME HOME
Was it ever Home?
FC Bangers
A Danish banger! Damn.
What a terrible giveaway by Kane lol.
Extremely good strike. England have a throw and within like 15 seconds, it's in their own net. It's a fantastic goal, but there are a whole bunch of mistakes that shouldn't happen leading up to that.
WAYYYYYYYYYYYY
Couldn’t hit that better wow
Jesus christ
Goal worthy of the King's presence
They’ve fallen right into our trap, England not winning is the only time we’re half decent
We need a bangers compilation after this tournament is over. That shit will be 30 mins long
Our boy ☺️
He has an Arsenal tattoo, come take him boys 😀
