Sorry meant Bangladesh! I forgot it was NZ that was India had called off. India will stuff Sri LankaWe still got to play them .
Good thing Scotland didn't qualify.England losing to two of the shittest teams in the tournament
I think they were more concerned with the upcoming games against Australia, India and New Zealand.wtf happened? Over confidence, after the last game?
Viv Richards coming out and saying Jos Buttler is the best batsman of the last decade...No flat wicket and England's amazing batting flops. All the hyperbole around their team is pathetic. They haven't achieved anything yet except some meaningless records on road like pitches. Let them win the cup and then we can measure how ground breaking their team is.
All they need is one victory, they should be able to beat NZ. Don’t see SL or Bangladesh beating India, but if they do, Eng are in trouble. But if you ask me, they have so many match winners, my money is on them making top four. A lot will depend on how they handle the pressure. Being almost unanimously considered the favourites before the tournament started and being the host nation, they must be feeling the pressure alreadyEngland have not beaten Australia, India or New Zealand in world cups in the last 27 years. More of that please!
Yeah I mean they got to number 1 in the world by fluke . One bad result and the anti England brigade are out in force.No flat wicket and England's amazing batting flops.

It's a strange way of looking at the sport really. Even if England don't make the semi finals I don't see how that changes the 4 years before that . Rohit Sharma has never won a world cup but I don't see anyone taking away his double centuries because they were outside the WCYeah I mean they got to number 1 in the world by fluke .

It's brutal, I remember 2011 when we were basically allowing the team no other scenario but to win the whole thing, and the hype, the whole team coming together, and we had the added factor of ending Sachin's career with a WC win else the meltdown would have been insane. Going all the way under such circumstances was immense and England similarly will have to hold it together game after game. It will get massively intense once they start getting close to the semis and their route is the toughest one of all the top 4.All they need is one victory, they should be able to beat NZ.

Brigade? There's just one poster saying that. Obviously everyone neutral will cheer for the underdog.Yeah I mean they got to number 1 in the world by fluke . One bad result and the anti England brigade are out in force.
Eh..they have lost 2 out of 6 games. They are still one of the top sides this tournament. No one cares about no.1 rank etc. Let's see them win this cup and I would happily give them the credit.Yeah I mean they got to number 1 in the world by fluke .

This is exactly what I am talking about. Talking about last 4 years like England were humping team like Aussies of 00s then. You know what happened within last 4 years? CT in England in 2017. They didn't even make the finals. But keep wanking to then anyway.It's a strange way of looking at the sport really.

You said they haven’t achieved anything yet they have achieved the no 1 ranking. You said all the hyperbole about them was pathetic. Couple of bad results doesn’t make them a bad team yet your post was insinuating that.Eh..they have lost 2 out of 6 games. They are still one of the top sides this tournament. No one cares about no.1 rank etc. Let's see them win this cup and I would happily give them the credit.
Ranking means feck all if you go flop at World Cup.Yeah I mean they got to number 1 in the world by fluke . One bad result and the anti England brigade are out in force.
I think the poster was making the opposite point to you.This is exactly what I am talking about. Talking about last 4 years like England were humping team like Aussies of 00s then. You know what happened within last 4 years? CT in England in 2017. They didn't even make the finals. But keep wanking to then anyway.
Yeah if they flop, it will be disappointing and a let down yet won’t take away the past 4 years.Ranking means feck all if you go flop at World Cup.
Nothing to do with the underdog, there are some people on here who don’t like England and are ready at the button as soon as they lose.Brigade? There's just one poster saying that. Obviously everyone neutral will cheer for the underdog.
Again India didn't win that one either so let's cancel anything India have done as well . Strange how the Odi records outside the world cup seem to not matter only for the England team .This is exactly what I am talking about.

Yep, can't see us winning the tournament after that. But let's see.This will be a major dent in Eng's confidence. You don't lose like that. Have to say thank you SL for bringing some life to this listless group stages.
Completely. Sad reallyNothing to do with the underdog, there are some people on here who don’t like England and are ready at the button as soon as they lose.
Hopefully give them a good kick up the backside and a wake up call.Yep, can't see us winning the tournament after that. But let's see.
No idea what you are on about. Not sure where you have seen so much hyping up of India team. You implied England have been amazing in last 4 years. Amazing in setting some ODI batting records but flopping in winning a global tournament at home. Like I said keep wanking to 400+ totals in one off games. Or maybe recruits folks from more non English nation's next time.Again India didn't win that one either so let's cancel anything India have done as well . Strange how the Odi records outside the world cup seem to not matter only for the England team .
India gets majority of the hate on here. Are you scouse? The victim mentality. Jeez.Nothing to do with the underdog, there are some people on here who don’t like England and are
ready at the button as soon as they lose.
Might need two if one of the unpredictable teams (WI/Pak) get some momentum going. Both have good fixtures but terrible form.All they need is one victory, they should be able to beat NZ. Don’t see SL or Bangladesh beating India, but if they do, Eng are in trouble. But if you ask me, they have so many match winners, my money is on them making top four.
