Where did you get this from? He's Roman Catholic
Day 5: Sweden vs South Korea, Belgium vs Panama and Tunisia vs England (19H00)
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
He blessed himself, the crazy Muslim!
It was meant be a joke because he's blessing and got a little beard.
The 3-0 flatters Belgium. Still not convinced they are getting the best out of themselves as a team. They just have a lot of quality players on at the same time and logic would suggest that at least one of them will make a contribution every game. Goals or assists.

Lingard and Young are starting.
Classic Lukaku performance. Pure shite for 85’ and still manages two goals.
Can’t complain tho. We weren’t at our best but still a convincing win.

You can compare and describe many different forwards and we all do, all the time. My point is that it doesn't have to be racist and we don't have to jump on the internet bandwagon of looking for offence in every single place we can possibly imagine it.
I'm not sure where you think I've said anything about long ball or Lukaku being a target man? In fact I've said the opposite.
Benteke is used as a target man currently but he's been used in other ways at other clubs - particularly for a while at Villa when he was quite adept at running off the shoulder.
Players have differences and similarities - people will always compare them without having ill intentions. This felt more like an attempt to score some easy internet points and obviously it's worked well for you. I just think there are more deserving targets than someone trying to enjoy a football match who made a quick comparison.
The fall out of him giving away that penalty in Euro 2000 curtailed his international career.
Watch the video of him and Carragher while he was at Everton.
He doesn’t hold the ball up, but rather receives the ball to feet and rolls his opponent using his strength. We didn’t utilise that last season, but that’s how he scored a large amount of his goals at Everton.
But yeah, the beneteke comparisons are laughable.
I'll be damn. Was it from a cross?
Sheikh Lukaku! He'd look badass in a long beard. Unfortunately he isn't though, maybe brother Pogba can convert him?
I'm just kidding here before the atheist brigade takes offense to this!Meh. Walker as a CB in a back 3?
Back 3 for England. That's strange.
Midfield looks a bit pants but that's the line-up everyone expected.
Come on England!
Come on England!
We've played that system for a while now I think.
We've played like this for every single qualifier...
Come on England!!!!!
Beglium played into that game. Only Panama though so tough to judge their overall level but having Panama as their opening match was definitely a gift avoiding any trouble early
Yeah, was hoping for RLC but still it might look better than it does on paper.
Bit harsh. The service to him was shite all game.
Yes. Was tried in that role recently under Southgate.
While Alli uses his first name "Dele" to represent himself in England shirt though? I meant I know he does the same for Tottenham , but for international tournament, shouldn't he use his family name to bring pride to his family?
Think it'll be a fairly comfortable 2-0 win for England after a slow start.
I thought Jones was guaranteed to start if he's fit??
He does not get on with his Dad apparently.
what exactly is England's lineup? Who's alongside Henderson in midfield? Lingard?
Religion should be banned from the football forum.
Don't make religious joke.
If people want it discussed, take it to the General Forum please
He's a Liverpool fan. He can't be expected to be impartial.
I think he'll get 20 minutes tonight.
3-4-3 with Alli and Henderson in a 2 men midfield I suppose.
Romelu Lucatholic
Pickford
Walker Stones Maguire
Tripper Lingard Henderson Alli Young
Sterling
Kane
Expected lineup for England. Hope rashford comes on early enough to get himself a goal, he always seems to score on competition debuts.
Expected that team. Happy enough. We need to make a good start.
Hopefully we get the ball wide and stretch, what I expect to be, a defensive Tunisia side.

Henderson, Lingard and Ali in a 3.
We've played 5-3-2 in almost every game for about 2 years....
That is too PC. Some topic would get tangled with religion, politic even you want to avoid it. Just religion joke that's I am concerned.
Probably the way he prayed at the end even though a lot of it is similar
Thanks for the info. Didn't know
England only have 2k fans at the stadium, is that a record low for England in a world cup game?
Will be interesting to see how England fare as compared to the traumatic past. Best of luck to them and their fans.

That's horrendous. You could at least have gone with Romanlu.
Hopefully the English brass band was denied entry in to Russia
