World Cup of the Damned

[Markeh]

Bellingham needs to calm the fuck down if he wants to play for Liverpool

 

[Hyena]

I'm no racist, but if I were Southgate, I'd bring on Rashford, Wilson and Trent now...

 

[darkstarexodus]

I still don't understand the offside, haven't they drawn the line on the wrong man?

It looks to be flicked on by the player in front of the keeper so why is the line on the man closest to us who isn't interfering with play.....

I finally saw it later - it was missed by the keeper and the attacker near to him. Header by the offside player.

Anyone think that these countries that said that they were going to wear this lgbt armband should have stuck to their guns and stood up to fifa.
Fifa could have issued a statement on this week's ago so it's obvious that Qatar is calling the shots with fifa.
The armband was show of solidarity which now has become we support you but...

I think they lost any moral high ground when they agreed to play in it.

The Fifa threat of giving the players a yellow card seem to have worked

 

[Farkmaster]

I hate so many players on this team, but Pickford is up there.

 

[darkstarexodus]

I'm beginning to think England might win today.

 

[Farkmaster]

Every world cup I forget that there's only a handful of decent sides.

So basically it turned out to be a hollow gesture.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

England have looked quite good, I think they have a decent chance of getting the 2nd qualifying spot.

 

[rubans]

Can they still make another sub? Still no Trent. He should stayed at home.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

1) Head injuries and footy - Alan Shearer point is excellent. "Temp sub" to give team 10-15 minutes to review. Then no issues though would be abused probably like "head injuries" are now by players
2) England played good footy
3) Rashford is a selfish fuck - England would have won 7-1 if he did what Wilson did for Grealish's goal.
4) TAA not playing when this game was over means he won't play a minute imo of this tourney. Hopefully, he's rested mentally too.

 

[Farkmaster]

No, it turned out to be nothing. It was going to be a hollow gesture.

 

[Farkmaster]

It looked to me like iran are horrible and that England can give up goals as soon as they face a decent team, or they'll go full on coward mode.

 

[Farkmaster]

Pickford is such a fucking clown.

 

[rubans]

Good to useage of VAR, still consistently shite.

Reaching Semis and a final in last two majors is not bad, just fallen short in tiny percentages.
Think England have a lot brave lads such as Sako, Bellingham and Rice. Southgate less so…

Easy for you to say. It seems FIFA threatened to sanction anyone wearing an armband. Blame FIFA not the players.

Tomorrow’s headlines -

FOOTBALL IS COMING HOME !!!!!!!

 

[dmishra]

Whatever happened to the great Dutch striker factory? From Kluivert, van Nistelrooy and van Persie, they've gone to Janssen and Berghuis. Hasn't been a great Dutch attacker in about a decade.

robben
huntelaar
kuyt

 

[Frogfish]

Well sitting down to enjoy my chunk of Red Cheddar and hazelnuts (midnight snack after an evening enjoying Spanish tapas and I think it was called Tokaji Aszu, a Hungarian dessert wine) whilst watching NL vs Senegal. Not sure how there hasn't been a goal for the NL yet !

 

[Modo]

Senegal would probably have been up by one of Sadio was playing

 

[peekay]

robben
huntelaar
kuyt

All previous decades. I will give you Robben. As much as I love Kuyt, I wouldn't put him in the category of great Dutch attackers.

yes, kuyt is for sure a stretch
I agree with you, their strikers' well has dried out a bit

 

[Markeh]

Snoozefest

 

[Frogfish]

Really really awful game. Boring and totally lacking quality. England were MILES better than either of these. Think I'm going to bed and read a book until I fall asleep.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Bad day for our transfer team. Bellingham and Gakpo both scoring is eating into our (non-existent) transfer budget.
