    I came here to say that.

    The parallels are frightening.

    Far too slow at the back, second best in terms of the press and pressure on the ball, sporadic flashes of creativity...

    Laboured first half.

    Perhaps England fans will be moaning in the stands that they need to switch to 4-4-2 and appoint Steve Evans?

    God this is painful watching. Trippier is just passing back all the time.

    It's awful. Instruction was clearly 'don't lose'. And we probably will. Have no time for this sort of approach. Have a go FFS

    If anyone draws Southgate for secret santa, can you give him a pair of b*llocks please?

    Bellingham was, too.

    Never seen anything like it.

    Saka was absolutely shocking.

    Would be just our luck that if we lose Hughes we'll get Southgate, right from the get go it was clear that we were going to play the way we did, ended up wishing the yanks would nick one, shocking performance ...

    There is a real potential that Iran will beat the USA and we have another BORE DRAW against Wales.
    We will go through, but as second in the group.
    Won’t leave much time after the Orient game, to find a pub to watch the match (if we must).
    We can no longer play to just avoid a defeat.
    England loses far more games than it wins if we go to penalties.
    About as fascinating as watching this in real time.

    I cannot see Iran beating USA, more so Wales getting a point against us.

    We will win the group comfortably

    @Fools Gold@Fools Gold I think
    Even the '66 wins against France & Mexico weren't great

    Once we're past the group stage it becomes a different ball game let's hope we step up.

    I was on holiday in Blackpool with a group of us City fans, getting into The Grapes Pub early doors that Tuesday night as you say a good semi what I remember.
