Harry Souttar is actually a decent defender. I must admit he is probably the only Australian player I’d have at United as a squad player. Offers a bit more than Maguire
He never seem to show up for Poland which is no fault of his because the rest of his team is just too poor. I hope Saudi beat the Poles, but I doubt so.Will Lewandowski show up today?
Nigeria definitely, they have a lot of players that pkay in the top leagues. Iwobi, Lookman, Osimhen are great attacking options.Algeria (Mahrez, Bennacer), Nigeria (Osimhen, Ndidi) and Ivory Coast (Kessie, Zaha) probably have better squads than some of the teams that qualified, but they all failed somehow.
Trump was right about mail votingTunisia were gifted a win by Mail. Also a better team than them.
And the right manager for the qualifiers isn’t always the right manager for the finals…. I was surprised to learn that all 5 nations are coming to this WC with local coaches. It’s the first time ever there are 5 African managers in a WC… They probably understand and can navigate African context (away games etc..) better than more qualified European tacticians, but the finals will need more.Picking the right manager is the biggest hurdle for African teams.
In what way? He's a inferior version of Maguire. Plays at Stoke City for a reason.Harry Souttar is actually a decent defender. I must admit he is probably the only Australian player I’d have at United as a squad player. Offers a bit more than Maguire
Yup.Poland playing so no doubt a snooze fest incoming.
Kind of why I am watching the FA Cup game instead right now (Stevenage game).Poland playing so no doubt a snooze fest incoming.
You constantly get people who want Utd to sign players just because they've had a good game at the World Cup.In what way? He's a inferior version of Maguire. Plays at Stoke City for a reason.
If we cannot beat Australia we deserve to go out. On paper we are miles better.Well done to Australia. On paper they look very weak but getting 3 points is massive. I don't think this Danish team is amazing so they have a chance, especially if France beat Denmark. Asia continuing to impress.
While the Polish one looks like annoyed accountant.The Saudi manager has a serious used car salesman wibe about him.
Kick it to LewandowskPoland playing so no doubt a snooze fest incoming.
Yes but everyone’s assumption here is that Denmark will beat Australia comfortably. I’m not so sure. They don’t have the same wonderful energy from the EC.Quite the opposite really. They can lose to France and still finish ahead of Australia.
How did they reach so far here is a question to be asked.Poland have been very underwhelming so far in this tournament.
It’s alright having one of the best strikers in the world but if you’ve got no creativity and service to him then it’s pointless.Would like to see Lewa get a goal or two but can't see Poland doing much, maybe I'll be wrong.
Saudi look up for it today.
