I was really hoping VAR would be implemented better in this World Cup than it is in the PL. I swear it was pretty good in 2018 in Russia, which means year in year it’s actually getting worse with more detrimental tweaks to the laws of the game to match.
Man alive, I’d rather forfeit the round than play Boro. Surely there’s some grateful side knocked out of the second round who’d eagerly take our place?
Belgium need to drop Hazard - does not work with KDB. I’m biased but Trossard is the only player willing to take on defenders, they’ve got to start him. People thinking Southgate has wasted English talent should take a look at Martinez!
I thought the opposite about France - their defence looks very average and Australia could have gone in 2-2 at the break. I’d be confident of our chances against them.
Bugger me. Can those people who are anti-England, anti-Southgate and anti-World Cup please go on the thread for those not watching it? That’ll leave the rest of us who don’t loathe everything in life that isn’t Brighton to actually enjoy the tournament.
