Football is becoming a toff sport. Arnold Alexandra?...public school name that. And the manager's nickname...turnip...that sounds public schoolish in provenance., Probably given him by a Flashman-type prefect he fagged for.

Anyway, the mighty Three Lions are a bit underwhelming aren't they? Colombia should be too much for our bunch of public schooled toffs.
Calvert-Lewin - sure he was in Tom Brown's Schooldays getting his arse toasted.
 
Whilst i don't want England to lose i am happy because i neeted the coorect score in my office score predictor game. Also guessed the Tunisia score correctly as well.

Yeah well, Raheem Sterling votes Labour so up the working class heroes.

The perfect result for England, rested almost the entire team and given themselves possibly the best chance of reaching the semis for around 30 years

Could hardly have gone better.
 

Laughing now at this from Turnip Southgate: "Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture and make decisions that sometimes might be criticised. But I think everyone's understood what we were trying to do."

So basically he's saying they went half throttle in order to get to Colombia and to an "easier" QF.

Good luck keeping your job if that one goes arse up, Turnip.
 
Belgium's QF spot is assured. England's isn't. If Kane has an off game they are in massive massive trouble.

BTW, I think Mexico might see off Brazil. Brazil are obvioulst a good team but I think they're also very flakey and either Mexico or Belgium can see them off.

I'd put Colombia as at least equal chance with them to go through to QF if not favourites. No idea why anybody would prefer a 2nd round game which will most likely be harder just because you might (just might) get an easier QF game. It's a bit odd.

I agree. Brazil are mercurial...and hence vulnerable to upset. Belgium is still a smoky for me. Very talent laden team and possessing the most astute manager in global (and probably galactic) football. I am not sure whether you are aware of this or not, but Bobby once navigated us to 72 points in the PL.
 
Jules Rimet tho C.

30 years of hurt, never stopped me dreaming.

And the rest!

Pundits spending their time moaning about Pickford when there are so many bigger problems to be concerning themselves with.

Spot on, absolute tosh to fill time with the easiest to remember moments. Not many keepers were saving that shot. Everyone makes mistakes during a game and Pickfords cost them nothing. Rose was culpable for giving the chance away. If you hadn't have watched the game and just tuned into the reaction you would swear he had a Karius type game. If he played for man utd I bet not a word would be said, De Gea didn't even get it out in the danger zone he just shovelled it straight in...well saves having the attacker do any work.

Utter crap turning the spotlight on someone as at somepoint something will happen and they'll be like 'I told you'. Get behind the players for pete's sake and say the England defenders just need to be on their toes to follow up anything that may come off the keeper, because yes, it is a team sport. It's like they don't actually want to win anything.
