Young and Lingard are having very good games, shite finishing aside.
Day 5: Sweden vs South Korea, Belgium vs Panama and Tunisia vs England (19H00)
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Stop asking for thread bans ffs. That's childish.
Not saying Smalling is Beckenbauer, but he is a better CB than Walker, Stones and McGuire.
Walker is a great player, but he is not a CB, he is a leftback or a left wingback.
Lampard has come across pretty well in the beeb studio. Lineker & Shearer are blustering a bit.
As long as Tunisia get more than 1.5 corners along the way, I’ll be £170 up.Tunisia 2 England 1 at FT. Calling it now
So yeah...hope this happens too
xG is probably something like 6-1 for England.
England way better. Don't worry, you'll win.
We’ll miss a penalty and it’ll finish 1-1 for peak England.
A fine example of why xG is completely worthless.
That's fair
I can imagine the inspired halftime talk from Gareth. You just wait and see.
2.4 - 0.1 actually (plus a pen for tunisia). Pretty crazy for 1 half
England should have wrapped this one up. The reason why they haven’t?
...England.
...England.
The most ridiculous and stupid idea of a "statistic" ever.
Why are people still using xG is has to be the most useless stat in existence.
And a red card to top it all offTunisia 2 England 1 at FT. Calling it now
England should be well out of sight here. Thought they've actually played some decent stuff tbf. Lingard been the prime suspect in their wastefulness. Think Pickford should do better for that penalty too.
They’re playing Rocky IV music at the ground
Feels like Euro 96 Venables. Missed chances galore
Quantifying the quality of chances? Why is it dumb? Surely that's more use then total shots?
You must be irish-tunisian
That was tongue in cheek but @Camilo please tone down the England bashing we’re all supporting them here and they’ve honestly done very well.I can't for the life of me figure out why Southgate thinks one CM will do. Henderson needs a partner, it's suicidal this formation.
Just tell them well done and keep going. If they start worrying about missing chances it'll only make it worse.
I expected it, but the biased commenting & punditry is annoying.
The films have different music?!They’re playing Rocky IV music at the ground
LMAO
Still the play was much better than previous tournaments. A considerable improvement.
No, we aren't. People are allowed different opinions. It's a forum.You must be irish-tunisian
England look far better than they have at any tournament in a long time. Same again with better finishing and they'll be fine
What is xG? X-Goals? Extreme Goals?
Call both. The fouls offset. Replay of down. The play clock begins at the blow of the whistle.
Mediocre. Should never be starting ahead of Rose in the first place. Get's the ball, checks back, passes back. II swear I saw him pass back to the GK from the half way line. Should have been fined a week's wages for that
No we aren’t. I want Tunisia to fecking destroy England.You must be irish-tunisian
Expected garbage.
I agree.
This post deserves to shut its dirty whorish mouth - Ron Burgandy, you stay classy San Diego.
So you don't pick Smalling, ok he can't pass. But then you go and start fecking mediocrity personified, mr midtable-at-best Maguire and a braindead fullback Walker as a CB.
I predict great things for this team.

Because it's subjective and has no measurable basis.
