I'm not sure many of us could keep a semi in front of 50,000 scousers.
The USA is miles better than this Australia team.
A low bar, but it needs to be said.

Right on cue, judge 🙂
Ref should have looked through the fingers on that one for sure, not as a rule, but personally.
It's the hope that kills.
Swapped them for camels.
Or sold their WAGs I guess.
Zing!
Bukayo Saka is expected to start for England against Senegal in Sunday's World Cup last-16 clash, Sky Sports News has learned. "Despite all the talk of an unchanged line-up, Saka is set to start. So one of Phil Foden or Marcus Rashford is expected to miss out. "The fact Saka was rested in the last game, perhaps means this was always planned.
Expect Jack Grealish to remain as England's super-sub, and so it's a question of 'which two from four', with persuasive arguments possible for each of Rashford, Foden, Sterling and Saka.
The back four is likely to be the same, though it's a toss-up between Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier at right-back. Walker could well win that battle - his exceptional pace is a characteristic that Southgate has always valued, though without Trippier in the team, England lose some expertise with set pieces.
Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham are certain picks in the midfield, and Jordan Henderson could well get the nod ahead of Mason Mount, because of his extra experience and stabilising presence.

Worse than us (as in the English?)
