As an aside… Edgar Davids looks like he should be in a Tarantino film
Wrighty talking sense again.
I think they should call FIFA's bluff. I think that's all it is, if they (England/Kane) or indeed anyone did it they'd either get sanctioned and I suspect FIFA would then face a massive ' No, I'm Spartacus' moment, or they wouldn't do anything and FIFA's pathetic backbone would be exposed.
Yes I'm biased, but as others have said, protesting is a risk. But millions of people are risking far more every day than the chance of winning a tin pot, just to live a life in the way they want to.
@dazh - why the negative Wales comments?
Did you try to get served on a Sunday after 2pm in the late 80s?
He managed to get in for lunch while they were still serving, but then asked what the vegetarian option was?
That Maguire fella is some dribbler.
The US coach is Gary Oldman as Mr Zorg.
Stepovers? Maguire? 😳
Maguire does seem to play better when he hasn't got 60k 'supporters' on his back
why the negative Wales comments?
because they were deserved? Honestly, they spend 50 years trying to get to the WC finals and then when they do they decide not to bother playing.
England being equally complacent against the US BTW. It’s just lazy.
If England play like this against Wales...
bit lazy at the moment - both Sterling for the chance earlier, and then Rice just there have been simply run past and not made any great effort to track their runner
I'm saying nothing!
I'd like to see Foden in the second half - not sure Mount is making a difference (just as he has a good shot on target)
Merkins got their tictacs sorted
Southgate needs to change something
Slab head playing well i thought
USA are a fit well, drilled team a bit like Brighton. They could snatch this.
Slab head most switched on England player.
Might be because he's concentrating on tracking runs and making blocks rather than pointing and shouting.
Mount, Saka, Sterling, and to a lesser extent Bellingham need more movement off the ball to create options when Stones and Maquire are in possession. They seem to be leaving responsibility to create that first pass out from the back to everyone else and positioning themselves for the pass after that.
Can’t see how Foden doesn’t start. Lacklustre from England.
USA were class v Wales in the first half then faded.
At 7.28pm I posed to my What’s App group…
First 15 minutes we looked in control but we’ve been drawn into their game
Do they know this is the World Cup and not a friendly?
I’m beginning to think Southgate has told them to play for the draw. Bet he’ll be happier with a 0-0 than the 6-2 against Iran.
It's like The Wire v Only Fools and Horses.
Drawn into their game?! Typical Ingerland arrogance that!
Kane looks quite tired.
It's not a surprise that Saka and Bellingham are struggling, it's way past their bedtime
Clearly an inspirational half time team talk from Southgate. 😂
If he has told them to play for a draw they're doing their best to ignore him by trying to lose
Crying out for some pace, skill, something different. So he gets ready to put Jordan Henderson on!?
FFS Henderson, Southgate is going into his shell and trying to hold on for a draw.
Then a point v Wales and it’s qualification done and dusted I guess?
They need Foden to replace the usual oh-so-disappointing Mount.
Does it benefit us if we finish 2nd in the group? Easier run to the final? That’s the only reason I can think for this total bore off.
Southgate just doesn't fancy Foden does he.
Really poor, hendo I understand but he seems to not like foden and Arnold who genuinely are game changers.
what a stupid ****** foul that is Shaw.
Must be the cleanest game of the tournament so far.
It’s coming to something when slabhead is your best player by miles
How very Engerland
Well, that was dull!
Southgate just doesn’t fancy Foden does he.
Not when you've got form players like Henderson and Rashford to stick on.
I just can't understand the lack of buzz and energy. It's like they got told to be patient, but interpreted that as strolling around in a barely-animated state.
As soon as they started pressing a bit, they got the ball.
Just mediocre.
Nah. England will win both games easily.
😂
To think I looked forward to that game for most of the day…
To think I looked forward to that game for most of the day…
This is typical England WC group stages fare.
Hmmm….
Did I not like that! 🤷♂️
Bit surprised that ITV were able to get Saddam Hussein as a pundit.
