England from what I have seen, appear to be the best coached team in the tournament.
Day 11: England vs Panama, Japan vs Senegal and Poland vs Colombia
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
His dad is a massive United fan according to the Swedish commentators. Still watches us every single week apparently.
Cheeky bid?
You'll never get growth in the sport with that. I'm not sure Panama has the level of growth in it than African and Asia have proven to have over the past 20 years, but if you don't give them the chance. You'll never truly know, small countries need this stage.
You can't just invite all of South America, and the top 20 Europeans teams while everyone has to qualify.
I don't think this will be the case. A win against a big team like Belgium would give England a nice confidence boost.
Don't rate Loftus-Cheek at all. Thought his contribution in the first game was overplayed.
Yeah I hope we smash 10 past these cnuts
Surely nobody takes the english media seriously. They'll be the first ones to stick the knife in when the tide turns.
Escobar looks like Rashford from the side.
Ok and I stand by it.
The World Cup is coming home!
Game will be irrelevant imo in that context as I expect changes aplenty for both teams.
Loftus cheek takes up alot of selfless positions and makes good runs. Better balance for the team than alli
Boo am expecting a pen every corner against these
Mexico?
Panama players have have decided one hand grabbing the player is the way forward.
Progress.
Progress.
Being a United fan I've stopped getting excited about winning corners … this England team takes me back to 1999!
It's like Becks is taking the corners.
Thought that when the anthems were played
This half is going to be boring as shit isn't it.
Croatia seem better drilled for me and have actually beaten good teams.
IT'S COMING HOME is trending on Twitter
England and Belgium really did get a dream draw. I fancy at least one of them to make the semis.
we're doomed
You would think the heat will sap at their energy levels eventually, so having Rashford or Vardy to come on might be perfect.
Croatia have been the most best coached team in this year's competition. Bigger tests is to come for this England team after this match
Not necessarily, this England team look like they have a goal in them whenever they have the ball.
How the hell does Walker manage to get himself in an offside position there.
Sterling has been awful.
Get sterling off. I'm sick of him.
Sterling has good movement but his play on the ball has been really poor this World Cup.
I think both teams will take it very easy. Think of games like Holland vs. Argentina in 2006, a complete non-event.
Take Sterling off and give Rashford a go
The world has heard the song being played 5 times in the last hour.
I know it's a bit tongue in cheek, but I hate the #itscominghome bollocks because it's exactly the classic overhyping of our national team that makes us look silly.
That's fine, but they could at least appear with a positive attitude somehow, rather than acting like cnuts and babies. Both penalty situations, and a couple of others, were borderline embarrassing
Second game in a row Sterling has looked off the pace. Time for Rashford to show his worth.
Especially the way the draws are lining up. Could have France, 2nd place Portugal/Spain, Argentina, 1st place belgium/england, Germany and Brazil all on the same side of the bracket. Of course, avoiding traditionally big teams isnt always a blessing, as teams like Croatia and Mexico have shown they're very good sides.
Vardy and Delph coming on soon
