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

[Zeberdi]

That was an absolute let off for England. WTF are they doing?

Terrible ball by Maguire giving it away right near the box

TBH if I was P*tter at Chelsea, I’d have Ryan over Mendy on what we’ve seen so far, flapping more than a robin in a Christmas music video

To be fair, Robins are cool and hard little buggers . . . They only flap in Shaky vids. And who wouldn't.

It's hard to watch Council TV . . .and England . . .the 2 combined makes ironing shirts and a bit of Ska/reggae on vinyl an attractive proposition. . . .

over the course of the weekend I've almost got enough pristine shirts to see me through until next year @ 1 a day. . .

If England want to play out from the back, they need to pick centre backs who can play out from the back. There is a reason why Maguire cannot get into the Man U team anymore....

Imagine what it must be like to be working for ITV tonight. Knowing basically everyone hates that it’s you and not the other side doing the game.

Matterface already a cock about VAR … when clearly no handball or foul.

Will he ever learn the art of less is more?

Tough to find MILF (or DILF) in that lot.

Hardly a suprise is it. He makes Mat Ryan look like the bastard child of Einstein and Pele!

The ref is playing well

 

[Poojah]

So far, this game is following the same pattern of other games at this World Cup where a fancied side has been beaten be a so-caked lesser light.

Senegal are disrupting England’s fluidity and we are beginning to look increasingly uncomfortable as Senegal grow into the game. They’ll be happy with the trajectory of this first 30 minutes.

Good save

Riding our luck a bit

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Senegal’s fast strikers are threatening to get behind Stones and Maguire on every break - Dia shows the weakness in our back line.

Mbappe must be dribbling at the prospect of facing them both

He won’t be at this rate.

 

[AmexRuislip]

We are absolutely

 

[US Seagull]

Gotta imagine France are feeling pretty relaxed watching this...

 

[Weststander]

Pickford preventing an early exit. They’ve got 5 players up front with pace taking gambles.

We’re plodding around with telegraphed passes to the obvious man.

Gotta imagine France are feeling pretty relaxed watching this...

The Senegal front 5 might concern them.

 

[Simster]

I thought England might lose this before kick off, and not much has gone on to change my mind.

 

[Icy Gull]

Anyone have a clue what Southgate’s game plan is tonight?

 

[bhafc99]

Well after a bright first 10-15 minutes, England have looked poor. Either giving the ball away, or sideways passing at the back looking clueless as to what to do.

 

[The Wizard]

Let’s see if Southgate has any tactical nous at all because this system obviously isn’t working
