England v Slovakia : Euro24 Last 16 : Match Thread : ko 5pm

Mainoo has to start. I'd probably drop Saka too.

As a football fan, I want to see this group of players produce some good football for a change.

There may be storm clouds ahead. Only metaphorically though. Weather reports for the Arena AufSchalke are "Mostly Cloudy with a little rain" with a low of 13. Perfect football weather.

Yeah, he's more or less been forced into starting Kobbie now but it still wouldn't shock me if he didn't. He'll have to drop one of his favourites so I'm not sure he'll be physically able to.

Surely they have to click sooner or later? All that talent ffs

Hope kobbie doesn’t start

Come on the Slovaks

He's boxed himself into a corner. He will 100% start. 3rd youngest after Rooney and Owen

The amount of people who called Mainoo would be in the side by the KO's is funny. So many people could see exactly the way this was going to play out.

Its the other Positions where he needs to show some bravery. I'd probably drop Foden out of the 3 for someone like Gordon or Palmer. He will most likely go Saka as thats the easiest.

They don't need wholesale changes, its only really the balance of the side. He may even start Shaw if he's fit enough

Honestly just hope football is the winner today.

What an absolute qualifier of a knock out game.

Front 6 of

Rice
Mainoo
Bellingham

Palmer
Kane
Gordon

Watkins on the moment Kane looks tired

Whisper it…..it is coming home

India n China have almost 3bn people but can’t produce a zesty box to box player who can get 10 goals a season and leave his foot in when required tbf

Probably click for them tonight against another shit team begining with S.

3-0, loads of false hope etc..... it's almost how the story must go ....

Would love a Slovak smash and grab but Jesus Christ that England team on paper should go all the way....

he won't drop any of the front four, because he's an idiot and it's what he does.

palmer absolutely deserves a game.

England will win comfortably and the nation will be consumed by "its coming home-ness" until the game against the Swiss.

Mainoo in 😎
