Whilst I haven’t religiously watched the anthems at the start of games during this tournament, I’m not sure I’ve heard any booing other than from England fans.

Been plenty of issues with the anthems - especially from the old Balkan countries - Serbia for example were all fighting with police today
 
No movement, no spark, no idea

The pace with which we knock the ball around, predominantly sideways and backwards, just allows any well drilled side to sit there with two banks of four and wait for a mistake. It’s way too easy to defend against.

We have players who can show endeavour. For pity’s sake allow them to do just that.
 
It’s not the English fans booing.

It’s also nearly 30°c. Why on earth would they be running around like headless chickens at this stage. It just doesn’t make sense.

I keep seeing and hearing about a high press. There are clearly a lot of people who don’t understand what that is and how it works.
 
You only have to look at those possession stats. 73% of the ball after 25 minutes and not a single attempt.

It’s pointless having the ball if you do nothing with it.
