I'd like to see them try and wrestle Lukaku to the ground. It would need 3 of them to even attempt it.
Day 5: Sweden vs South Korea, Belgium vs Panama and Tunisia vs England (19H00)
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
It’s just what people do on here. Their minds will never change.Little from open play?Were you watching the same game. Lingard had 4 chances by himself, all from open play.
Lol they can't win either way, a slight bit of positivity and the rest of Britain and Ireland are shouting down their throats.
The king with the banter
Was given offside anyway
Its deliberate WUMs who just can't be bothered to stay out of the thread if they got nothing better to say.

legendTwas all in the first 20 minutes. After Tunisia settled, we struggled.
If Belgium/Germany/Brazil go 1-0.. we'll struggle based on that
I would love to see the stats...I think Lingard must have covered the most ground.
I think a more concerted attack will pull that defence apart but they did ok tonight.
Alli should have been subbed off after 50 mins. Injury just stopped his runs.
Sterling was the poorest player for England, running down blind alleys and can,t control the ball properly.
Rashford and loftus cheek gave new life to the team and Lingard started running again, whereas he was having to cover a crocked Alli.
Hopefully Southgate will not wait as long to change things next time.

We'll just have to win via set pieces then. Nowt wrong with that.
Germany lost, Brazil drew. What do you make of their first games if we were to go one up first?
Well yeah, those teams are far better than England so it's not really fair to use them as a stick to beat England with.
Wish I knew too.
What’s the point of the VAR if they’re not helping the ref?
Jules rimet still gleaminggggggg
Fifty years of hurrtttt
As Jose said before the game, English supporters are pessimistics by nature, you can see the proof in this thread.
That 2nd goal is what makes Kane such an unbelievable striker - not just being in the right place at the right time, but he rooted the keeper by not hitting the far easier bullet header back across goal to the far corner, but instead the far harder technique of whipping his neck around and going inside the near post.
Loftus-Cheek was very good when he came on. Lingard and Alli started off well but like the rest of the team faded as the game went on. Rashford must start ahead of Sterling v Panama.
Lol it will be all over soon. I just wonder who the scapegoat will be
Feck me. England just about squeeze through and they're soaking it up and doing a lap of honour like they won 5-0
They'll get found out in the knockouts.
I missed that. They suck!Neither. American!
Scottish or Irish?

I didn't even realise you'd hilariously failed to qualify until about a month ago and yet you've been on here all night crying about England winning.

So who's up for Rashers instead of Sterling next time?
England were alright. They're an alright team. I expect their progress to depend on the quality of the opposition. Maybe quarters.
Kane scored two but wasn't too impressive either given the goals were gifts really.

I used to support the English NT but that ended after Euro 96 when funny enough Gareth Southgate became a figure of hate after his missed penalty against Germany in the semis. Two years later it was Beckham's turn to face the ire of the arrogant spoiled rotten English fans and media after his send off against Argentina. He admitted to wanting to quit football after that.
Fast forward another two years Phil Neville was getting death threats and had English fans outside his residence hurling abuse for the penalty he gave away at Euro 2000 against Romania, knocking them out. He also admitted to wanting to quit. Two years later again it was David Seaman at WC 02 with the Ronaldinho chip. I just hope United players escape unscathed when the inevitable elimination comes. To sum it up the culture of entitlement when it comes to the England NT is pretty pathetic. You guys think you're as good as Brazil or any of the other great national sides but you're really not. 'We're England, we should be destroying X or Z' and all that. Almost everyone has a NT they hate and mine is England for those reasons. I hope you crush and burn again as usual

First, nobody has any expectation of the NT to do well. The media doesnt even hype us any more. Our last real chance of winning something was Euro 96, arguably Italia 90 too.
Second, there was no ''hate" for Southgate after his penalty miss. Huge amounts of despair yes but most people here sympathised. Beckham did get it bad yes, but largely because hr played for United as did Neville. Seaman was just past it, nobody really hated on him.
Since then nobody has really been scapegoated. Ashley Young missed the penalty that took us out of Euro 2012 and nobody gave a shit. In 2016, the whole team were to blame.
Expectations are at an all time low.

Should line up like this against Panama, no point holding back. Change Alli for Dier against Belgium.
Pickford
Walker - Stones - Maguire
Trippier - Alli - RLC - Rose
Sterling Kane Rashford

Play Henderson over Alli going off of today's performances.
When are people going to see through the impostor that is Sterling? 2 goals in 39 games for England and he seems to be an automatic choice. It's not even as if he contributed anything else last night.
Won't happen. They are completely different typer of players.
If anything, Kane would come to Madrid as a Cristiano replacement. And the Portuguse is still a better #9 than him.
Rlc for Alli and rashford for sterling.
Dunno what was wrong with Alli last night (was watching on Spanish telly and couldn’t understand a word) but he was very poor.
Same goes for sterling. Looks good in patches but shit decision making

You are joking, right ? Young did nothing wrong last night, he had a good game.
You would drop Young , why , he had a good game and keep Sterling in , he was dreadful.

Think Tunisia could frustrate Belgium and hopefully nick a point.
