13 european places were up for grabs in the qualification. Italy failed. Why the hell should they be at the world cup if they ain’t in the top 13 teams in Europe? They may be better than Panama or South Korea. But they ain't better than Sweden. Sweden ain’t exactly footballing gods yet Italy couldn’t beat them.

I didn't say they deserve to be there, I want to see the best 32 International teams in the World Cup regardless of the continent and I believe the current format punishes European teams and rewards other continents with free passes into the competition which takes some shine off the spectacle which is the World Cup.

Nice effort from distance there!

FT 3-0, another really competitive game, I wonder how many teams will finish with 0 points in the group stages.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 5:57 pm

Good effort from Panama. Was always going to be a tough challenge. They did create a few chances but Belgium, understandably, had a little too much for them on the day.

For the record, I like seeing underdogs compete in the World Cup. I genuinely enjoy that as much as I do watching the strongest national teams.

Ben Youssef. I wish some posters on here would do that sometimes.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 6:18 pm

Not a bad lineup - some decent attacking talent. I'm not convinced by our defence but obviously Trippier and Young can drop back as needed to offer more support.

My thoughts:

Weak down the left, heavily reliant on Trippier's supply down the right, if I can see it then I'm sure Tunisia's manager can.c

No worries everyone, really, honestly I'm just happy to help.

Bang out of order from Rio that.

Lingard was off but they were told not to flag when it’s that tight.

That’ll ease the nerves - we’ll taken that

Great start. And what a save off Stones' header

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:14 pm

First of all, GET IN!

Second, I feel for the Tunisia keeper. He has made a couple of really excellent saves and will have to go off after picking up an injury. Hard to bear in a World Cup I'm sure.

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:14 pm

Keeper off. Should we loan em Nick Pope?

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:16 pm

All that crap from Pickford arseing about with the ball at his feet.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:21 pm

Shame for the young keeper,game would be over already without him.Don't use all your goals up to soon Harry.

Tall Paul · Post by **Tall Paul** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:22 pm

Pickford has kicked the ball out five times and it's gone to a white shirt five times.

Great distribution.

NL Claret · Post by **NL Claret** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:23 pm

Pickford's distribution so far has been poor!!

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:24 pm

This should be game over.

tim_noone · Post by **tim_noone** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:24 pm

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:26 pm

Our defence is passing crap and defending crap.

Hope we don't regret these missed chances,need to kill this off ASAP.

Trips could be a world star by the end of the tournament.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:32 pm

It's not been that bad!
England started off the first 15 minutes plus pretty well!

But the last 10 they've all had a collective 'Doh'.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:32 pm

Sterling going back to his form at the turf also,shouldn't cost us in the group stages but might in the latter rounds.

Effing Walker. He wouldn’t have reached that up a ladder.

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:33 pm

They really needed Ben Mee in there

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:33 pm

Walker having a nightmare and Machinegun leg not much better.

Tripps, Henderson doing well so far.

As said previously, Pickford's distribution not too good so far, and that's why he's been picked !!!!!!!

And there you go, nightmare Walker strikes again. Gormless git, right on cue.
