Eh? You never asked for specific examples. I'll get the record books out and give you a few more I believe there's stacks of times England have played better than they did vs Colombia, shall we throw in qualifiers or are you looking at major tournaments only? Qualifier or not beating Germany...

Yes I think England were better, and I’ve not said either are a poor side, just poor performance [emoji2]. I do wonder whether Loftus-Cheek would have had more success as he just looks stronger than Alli. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nor do I. Thought Colombia took over when Dier came on (?70 mins). Then we reasserted ourselves in the second period of ET. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does this impact on him having an opinion then? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes but our performance was similar IMO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We played well against Poland in 86 and Holland in 90, Egypt was similar to yesterday IMO. Just how I saw it. You could also argue as per my original point, that this has been one of the most easiest qualifying groups we’ve ever had, so we should win the games. Again just saying, nothing to...

Fair point, I worded it badly........ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[emoji106] you’re older than me so had the benefit of 66 and 70 (I was two). But I enjoyed 82, 86, 90 and even 98 from a performance perspective, we were creative, although we ‘managed’ the game yesterday for 70 mins, where were the chances? Kane half-chance, Trippier free-kick just a lack of...

Hate? Nothing like blowing things out of proportion. Just a discussion.... Oh and if my Grandma had balls....... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well that goes both ways - I would argue you’re easily pleased. [emoji2] But ‘poor’ is better than ‘woeful’, which sums up previous efforts. IMO we haven’t reached our full potential, which will hopefully happen in the next 3 games..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry, I’m obviously not making my point very well [emoji2]. I thought England were poor and Colombia were worse from a performance perspective, this is nothing to do with rankings or how I rate Colombia, I thought they would be much better offensively, but seemed more intent on being niggly...

Oh dear..... it’s not about inventing the game, it’s about quality of performance. The fact I expect us to beat Panama and Tunisia is based on personnel.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s fine re the agreeing . I never said Colombia was an easy game, just that I thought we were poor, and they were worse. I would argue the 1990 team were more creative than this team. Belgium in that tournament were much like Sweden will be, organised and effective, just hope David Platt...

You’re quoting a ranking system widely ridiculed. Weren’t Switzerland 4th? Basically, it would have been a surprise if we had lost to Tunisia. I don’t believe we have lost to an African team in the World Cup. And come on did you really think we’d be tested against Panama. We were efficient and...

How many chances from open play? You say controlled periods, but Spain also did that and created little. Sorry it was poor, Colombia were dirty but there was little imagination out there IMO. I really feel we’re getting carried away on the back of wins against teams that we should always beat...

Thought we were poor, we are so reliant on set pieces, and although on top as soon as Dier came on we suddenly got a lot worse.... But Southgate has galvanised everyone and people are in danger of believing....... Kane, Trippier and Maguire amazing World Cup so far. Sent from my iPhone using...
