World Cup 2018

Thought we looked good when the subs were made though. Loftus cheek looked very creative when he came on.

 

Certainly did himself no harm but we still huffed in the main , thought rashford looked good ,,think it was somewhere round the 77min mark where we played 3-4 passes on the right touchline when 1-1 and the ball was never delivered in instead ending up with our back 3 then nearly repeated with kane coming into midfield to try and get something moving.

 

personally think sterling and vardy n rashford against opposition that come at us all can be effective as space will be there -when v a tight 2 banks we need a couple of early goals or be creative with movement well into the game and think vardy and especially rashford can achieve this

 

A few players commented on the heat so perhaps this took its toll, if we click I think we can do well as most of the main teams aren't setting the world cup alight

Now, that's what you call a proper number 10.

1-0 to Denmark.

Up to now it's been absolutely boring with the odd flash of interest and some bad reffing.

A lot of running around, plenty of going backwards and boredom.... I'm not surprised there are so many flies at pitch level.

Maybe 15 minutes for England and a fair effort for those beggars that walk upside down

Anyone see the France v Peru game ?

 

I didn’t realise that Patrice Evra had become a children’s entertainer!

 

Also, surprised that Peru’s side didn’t feature Hector Chumpitaz ! (apologies to the under 60’s)

The "experts" in the studio this afternoon were among the worst I've heard. Why do we have to have three of them anyway and what do they add to what we'd already seen?

Evra, you are right, just needed a plastic flower in his button hole to complete his clown's outfit!

Don't cry for me Argentina the truth is you could be going home.

Argentina looked awful tonight. One side I always want to go out early.

Best result of the tournament so far, because if England are to get out of the group beating Tunisia was a standard requirement.

I can't stand Argentina since 86 & 98. Especially that cheating little fat drug addled pudding Maradonna.

Sterling or Rashford?

Young or Rose?

Alli or Loftus-Cheek?

Decisions for Sunday.

Rashford

Rose if fit but not sure he is fit enough

Loftus-Cheek even if Alli is fit

Croatia potential winners of the World Cup? Easily the best team I’ve seen so far last night with Modric being the best player in the tournament so far and I really rate Radikic.

We ought to beat Panama. If we don't then we don't deserve to qualify from the Group stage. Their team sounds like a Michael Brown assembled squad if this is anything to go by:

 

"While strength is one of Panama's qualities, they do not have youth on their side. They had the oldest average squad age in qualifying of all nations to make the World Cup and have five players who are 34 years or older in their squad."
