Quoted from GYinScuntland
Belgium rip Japan a new bottom hole and we go out without a whimper against Columbia.



I think we'd have ripped Japan a new anus too but I didn't fancy us against Brazil whereas Belgium might well do 'em

As far as we are concerned I give us more chance us against the Swiss or the Swedes in the quarters but if Columbia play like they did against the Poles we're stuffed

Six of one and half a dozen of the other really

Southgate may have slipped up there!
Interviewer, "If you really wanted to try and win the game you'd have brought on Harry Kane."
Southgate, "Yes, of course!" 😁


I thought he said "needed"

Quoted from Maringer
Every time Dier has passed the ball it has gone behind his man. He's an OK defender but not up to the job in midfield.


Was Dier actually playing?

Belgium will think that they are capable of beating Brazil.  England not so confident in beating Brazil.

Mexico might spring a surprise anyway.

I will take England’s draw.  The rest is up to them.

IMO it was two teams trying to not win without looking like they were not trying to win, Dier isn't up to a midfield role, probably would be OK in a back three, but my real worry is Pickford, i think he is a howler waiting to happen, would much prefer Butland or Pope, nowadays with the ball moving around a lot in the air you do not win tournaments with a dodgy keeper and he looks decidedly dodgy to me.

Pickford for me is the best of the bunch, although he hasn't looked safe.

Think the back 3 that started the tournament are first choice.

Need to get Lidgard in behind Kane but although that is our best line up I just feel we are a little short of moving towards the latter stages. Some will say we are crap, Southgate has got it all wrong but IMO he has done the best he can with what he has available.

Every time I see him I actually seethe .I have never thought that he knows how to play football. He has never been taught how to run correctly-the only player I know to run on his heels Absolutely overrated shite.

With respect though cloudy, 'he hasn't looked safe' is the root of the potential problem, defenders need to know they have someone reliable behind them, otherwise it impacts on their own performances, we are very light on the goalkeeping front and to be honest and if you go on last seasons form, Nick Pope is the best of the three, although completely untried at this level i admit.
The value of a quality keeper is best shown by Jan Oblak at Athletico Madrid, best keeper in the world by a long way IMO, although sadly not able to show that at the world cup.

Soft goal to give away and teams know they can score against us - Panama did
Friendly or not we missed 2 good chances, Vardy & Rashford and we still don't know how to put games like this away
Not good enough, sorry.
