@Richard-Latimer always has been so much better at these tournaments for some reason. Not sure why the richest league in the world doesn't just use the same methods!
-
The speed of VAR decisions in this tournament is a thing of beauty I must say.

I just like watching the games and guessing
I've said it before and I'll say it again... This blows my mind.
Some people look at things like momentum and the pace of the game. I don't. The pace of a French Ligue 1 match is different to the pace of a Spanish La Liga match, which is different to the pace of an English Premier League match. I just look for space

@Richard-Latimer We should be exciting, another one for me is trippier at left back? Whats that all about, I know he's a good player and benefits the team but he's way out of position.
Agree on Foden as well, he could be electric around 55/60 mins for me!

@Akiva-Anderson Is there anywhere you are documentinjg the trades? Would be interesting to see and you've not posted them in here for a while have you?
My good progress has hit standstill in June. Still profit but games few and far between for me.
I’ve kept records, but I don’t really post because I tend not to use stats. I just like watching the games and guessing

@Ryan Just normal Southgate England tactics. Score, drop deep and defend.
Question has to be should Foden be in this side? He's not as good as Bellingham (few are), and doesn't play well from the left (looks like a bag of shite).
Should we be finding a more natural fit and using Foden as an explosive substitute when the opposition are tired?!?
Lots of talk about Trent but he's asked to invert for Liverpool anyway so has experience playing in the centre. Just doesn't have to get back into RB.
If we win we do so in spite of Southgate I reckon. The players at our disposal and we should be one of the most exciting teams in the tournament.
-
@Andy-Donnelly I am so so with you here, Trent will take time and training to actually know what on earth to do there, Cesc summed it up last night at HT that he's used to not having to worry about whats happening behind him when he gets the ball...
Not saying he can't do it but he shouldn't be starting in midfield at a major tournament until he has that sorted.
I like Wharton a lot, great player. You are right the bigger teams will destroy that midfield.
-
Not enough is being mentioned about Englands central midfield as a key weakness. Everyone fixated on the defence and left side, but balance all wrong in the middle imo. Which basically means we lose control of games. Rice no longer a holding mid. More box to box and I’m sorry but we will get picked off by the better teams if Trent is in there as well. Mainoo also not disciplened enough yet. Only really leaves Gallagher and maybe even Wharton if you don’t want Bellingham to play deeper

Week 4: £133.10 - £146.41
My bank should be at £146.61
My actual bank is: £215.60
£215.60 would be the end of week 8 (14th July)

@Richard-Latimer Yep mental wasn't it, seemed very disjointed to be fair
-

Anyone else bored by this tournament so far?
It's just not been competitive.
All favourites won and other than Switzerland they've won easily so far.
Italy back on terms within 10 mins, ahead on 15 and now on cruise control.
Think the tournament has been great so far.
@Akiva-Anderson to each their own. I'm enjoying this game.

@Richard-Latimer could set up some fantastic quarter final lines up though!
-
@Arran-Shackell yeah i did consider variance of course, they are set and forget so you have to expect that, but it did make me think that maybe the interantional comps are having an effect. The million dollar questions is do you leave trading for a month while its on? hmmmmmmmmm
