Today will be the day Pickford makes a howler. There'll be effigies of him hanging from lampposts before the night is out.
 
The Benitez and Guardiola trick .....

If I make a dramatic change I'll get credited with being a genius when we win.
 
Or if it fucks up and I'm forced to correct it at half time, I'll get credited with being a genius for fixing the thing I broke.
 
Wembley prepared for the end of the match today

This is what's gonna happen. Based on sophisticated Moneyball data science and past tournament statistics.

The Lions will come running out of their cages at full speed, and for 15-20 mins, they will pounce on every lose ball, fight for every inch space, with the roar of Wembley behind them. Bloodthirsty, fearsome lions.

Ze Germans will soak up everything England throws at them, maybe escaping a couple of close shaves and a hit post.

The Mighty Lions grow tired. They look to their leader, the best of them, the one with the majestic lustrous mane and locks held together by an Alice band, the amazing Grealish. He picks up each ball and will try to drive through the centre of the German's defense, only to come up short of options each time, so he spreads play and use the flanks. And this is where the great Raheem will come into fore. He will try to outdribble even himself and attempt a few dives in the penalty box. All will be futile.

Eventually the lions run out of ideas because the Germans will soak all pressure up. And by the half hour mark, they will revert back to what they do best. Play clueless, sideways football for the next hour, and hope for the best. The once bloodthirsty lions have now resigned to being giant pussies. Tomorrow's headlines will be one of national mourning once again. Football has failed to come home. Again. Aww.
 
That looks every bit the frightened Southgate team. Playing to the opposition's strengths rather than our own. And basically asking three players to carry the attack to Germany. They'll be starved of any service at all and we'll be on the back foot for most of the game.

 
Hope all you English are enjoying your Weatherspoons cheap pints, English sausages and seeing one of those fights when an England shirt gets pulled up over one of the participants heads so they can't see and during that time they get their bag kicked in.
 
In reality, I wouldn't mind them beating Germany today. Most of the players aren't offensive and the manager, well he's a dork, but he's ok.
