[Drinking] Англия против Бельгии (England vs Belgium)

[The Rivet]

Courtois.....hmmm

 

[portlock seagull]

Vardy is tiny.

Tonight's tactic of crosses or long high balls to Vardy is naive at best, possibly incredibly dumb.


Tyldesley getting excited about us topping the group (thereby having a much harder route).

It's not just me then! Lofty-Cheeks wearing clogs isn't helping either. You can take the man out of Palace, but...

 

[Saunders]

Clever by Belgium. They'll play a shocking Japan team, with an easier route.

I am not seeing the easier route there is France, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Portugal in that half of the draw...

 

[Weststander]

Loftus cheek is shite.

A poor man's Lukaku.

The body shape and strength of a cruiserweight, but that's where the similarity ends.

Poor first touch.

Sorry for a silly question.

For the 'Stephens our midfielder' song, what do England fans sing?

Nope, stays as it is and we play Japan.

Poor first touch.

That's what happens to players who have spent time playing for palace. It ruins them.

 

[Saunders]

Would you replace him with Wellbeck?

He would suit better the way we are playing, its pointless putting long crosses into Vardy. Or we could stop doing that and try and play him through the channels but we dont really have the midfield quality to do that.

 

[portlock seagull]

See Gareth Bale's at the WC....in the HT ads...

 

[Southern Scouse]

I know I’m ever so slightly biased but TAA looks as though he belongs in that shirt.

 

[Saunders]

Shit

 

[Muzzman]

I know I’m ever so slightly biased but TAA looks as though he belongs in that shirt.

Whereas Jones looks like he belongs in the conference.

 

[Weststander]

In our next game/s I hope we don't see Loftus-Cheek, Jones and Dier.

Even Spurs fan Jenas said that Dier lacks mobility and any pace. This enables unmarked opponents to fizz in shots from 25 yards, as in the first half. With the briiliant players still left in the tournament, with Dier that will be badly punished.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Eight changes to the team, nobody wanting to get booked or injured, so are you really surprised?

As opposed to Belgium, who have achieved objective number one by racking up two cheap bookings and ensuring a draw will get them what they want. i.e Columbia followed by Sweden/Switzerland.

Would rather we played Japan than Colombia.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Brazil are probably looking on at this momentum, pondering whether they'd rather face England or Belgium.

EDIT - Lee Dixon just said exactly this.

AAAAAAAHHHHH!! Stupid TV Pundits! Re: Cahill's goal line clearance after Pickford let it go..."If it was in, I'm sure VAR would have intervened..."

NO! Goal Line Tech. would have. VAR is completely different. Why don't they know this by now? Even a Paraguayan ref knows the difference.

Barber OUT!

 

[Bodian]

Would rather we played Japan than Colombia.

Would rather lose to Brazil than Sweden.....

 

[Saunders]

True but look at the games after that and Japan is a hard working team much like Iceland and we all remember what happened with them.
