[Football] World Cup - Day Fifteen... D-Day for England

[jcdenton08]

Attack attack attack. Get a few more.

 

[A1X]

A thought which actually occurred earlier, is tonight’s game the first ever December fixture for the England mens team?

 

[Zeberdi]

Kane as a ‘false 9’ works a treat. Far better than the lone striker role up against two pacey CB’s. He’s great at playing in team mates.

Agree - really creates the space for Bellingham and Henderson to get forward.

 

[The Wizard]

Think what’s almost as impressive as Bellinghams ability is his brain, look at the positions he picks up… it’s like he’s got eyes in the back of his head.

I reckon whoever wins the QF with France will go on and win the tournament.

Oh and

 

[jcdenton08]

I wish I could transplant “confidence”. I know that sounds ridiculous, I’ll qualify it. If we could play from the off against France with the belief we had when we went 1-0, we’d win the tournament.

Yes, I know this is the truth for every team, but England more than anyone. England out of all major nations are worst at game management. We start doing an impersonation of how the likes of Italy or Spain play, and are terrible at it because it’s just not us.

Surely this should be when he gives Maddison a run out?

 

[The Wizard]

Senegal going full thug mode now, can see a few naughty tackles towards the end here

I’d have done Wilson for Kane

Where would you transplant the confidence from?

 

[Zeberdi]

I’d have done Wilson for Kane

But bringing off the old guy is also a good move!!

 

[Dick Head]

Where would you transplant the confidence from?

From when we went 1-0?

 

[Eric the meek]

I'd book Kalvin Phillips for those dreads.

Last time you tried this earlier, you got rinsed. I’m smarter, you can’t win.

Oh and

Where do they meet Brazil, in the final?

As opposed to most PL/ENG players with eyes in their wallets and pants . . . . As soon as he gets cashed in to the PL he'll fall into line.

Rinsed? Over what?

 

[Gabbafella]

That looked like a rusty trombone

 

[KZNSeagull]

Where do they meet Brazil, in the final?

Think so, yes.
Yes it is, definitely. Spain, Morocco, Portugal or Swiss in the semis

No, see you've got it completely wrong again. in previous tournaments we were naive, played gung-ho and pumped it forward. Cleverer oppponents played more patiently, took the sting out of us, we got frustrated an crumbled. Now WE are playing the intelligent game and credit to Southgate for identifying that and implementing it
