Brought a tear to my eyeThere is, it was all over the shop at the start of the WC, it's horrendous, they just keep repeating "it's coming home" in a random tune

Agreed. The first 30 minutes were awful. Mainly the midfield offering no passing options to the defence. If we end up playing deep and needing to defend, I'll have far more faith in Maguire.England can’t start against France like they started the game tonight or they will get thumped. Play like they have since they scored and they have a chance but I would really worry about Maguire, he’s been sloppy as feck tonight and seriously tumescent.
Good point about the injury.he’s just returning from a long injury so probably not at his peak - but yeah doesn’t look quite as quick as usual
England have a strong chance if they sit back (slow defenders and Maguire thrives in the seige style) and try to hit France on the counter, Rashford should play.England can’t start against France like they started the game tonight or they will get thumped.

Coman won’t even start the game. It will be Dembele.
yeah sorry meant dembele - but still coman is rapid too!Dembele?
If not Spain then Portugal, both those side should be technically efficient to beat England.I don't think Spain make the semis. Don't think Brazil make the final either with so many injuries.
France is clearly the toughest one. First of three games to go. It's football, winning three consecutive games isn't outlandish, regardless of who you face.
I was thinking the same thing, not good considering who he will be up against on SaturdayHas Walker lost a yard?
Therein lies the problem, they need the opener to get into their groove. God forbid the opposition do.Play like they have since they scored
He always plays well for England and last clanger I recall him dropping in a big game was Origi that time. Could do a lot worse, he tends to rise to the occasion.I have a nasty feeling United will bid for Pickford in the summer
they are mid-table Championship side
Be my guest. The guy does play well for england, though. Got to give him that.I have a nasty feeling United will bid for Pickford in the summer
Look at their record since world cup 2014.Germany aren't good?
Agreed. Prime Walker is needed.I was thinking the same thing, not good considering who he will be up against on Saturday
Incredible isn't it
They just won African cup of Nations and majority of their players play in the top 5 leagues in Europe but yeah, midtable championship this is the part where you say you're being sarcastic to save face.
he's like maguire - far better for his national team than club. mind you, he's better than Mendy has become (he was supposedly the new Neuer when he first arrived...)He always plays well for England and last clanger I recall him dropping in a big game was Origi that time. Could do a lot worse, he tends to rise to the occasion.
Surprised you’d get rid of him. He’s been a bit meh in the past few games for us but generally I think we would struggle to get anyone better.Be my guest. The guy does play well for england, though. Got to give him that.
He's a proper baller, touch is class. Could do a Lahm and play in the middle.Have to say that Luke Shaw has looked as comfortable as anyone today.
Exactly. Spending your best years in Italy (Nesta, Chiellini, Bonucci) is the ultimate proof that a defender is dogshit.There's a reason he was left stewing in Italy for so long and it took till the American Woodward showed up for someone to finally bite.
Block opponents view with that planet sized head of his.Dier has zero qualities
England beat them, so no.Germany aren't good?
The last 2 WCs they failed to get out their group and you beat them in last 16 in euros. Do you think that ranks them as good?Germany aren't good?
he always does. genuinely a world class player that wouldn’t look out of place in any sideHave to say that Luke Shaw has looked as comfortable as anyone today.
Yeah Maddison would be a better shout than Mount that's for sure.Think Maddison should get some minutes. Could use an alternative in the team for goal scoring and creating.
It's an interesting take because most people in France and in the press weren't positive and still not particularly positive. Sometimes it feels like people don't realize that french are generally pessimistic.Nah we don’t expect to beat france. It’s you guys that are going to be hyped. If we go out we expect to. French salty tears will be funny though if there is an upset.
I honestly don’t get this. Like losing him for the other rounds is stupid.Get Kane off - stupid to keep him on.
I'd be very interested to see that. His touch and passing really is classHe's a proper baller, touch is class. Could do a Lahm and play in the middle.
