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...

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

Matt2112 · June 11, 2025, 08:33:57 PM

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.
