Superb appointment, can't really see how we could have done any better.
Never heard of him.

Well that makes sense, he's German.
Great manager, I wonder if it is a good fit in terms of personality.
But I suppose after Southgate any form of temperament is welcomed.
Hopefully makes Southgate's Snoozeball a thing of the past.
I think my one fear about this is the potential for controversy. Picture the scene. It's a World Cup semi-final against Germany. We're 2-1 down in the second half. Then with 15 minutes to go, he takes Harry Kane off.
Still, he wouldn't be the first international manager to compete against his own country. I recall that Sven did. I think Fabio did as well. I'm sure Jack Charlton's Republic of Ireland played England at least once.
Surely you mean he puts Kane on..lol

I believe Harry scored another hat trick in the Bundesliga the day after you typed that :)
Anyway - a nice send off for Lee Carsley in the last game before Thomas takes over. 5-0 against the Irish Republic. Satisfying second half especially. Nice and easy.
Been a while but Dutch media are already reporting there is quite some dismay on Tuchel's tenure. Can't imagine the 1-3 of last night did him much good.

There are no easy games in international football anymore... ;D

Oh, our 8-0 against Malta yesterday tells a different story...

::) ::) :-\
End of season meaningless friendly against opposition who were much more up for it than England. Wouldn't read too much into it
If you have the honour of wearing the shirt of your national team, there's no excuses for not being up for it whatever is riding on the game.
That was a proper schooling in that respect alone from Senegal last night.
