2022 World Cup.

It's worth mentioning that France midfield looks weak without pogba and kante

Spain almost went out

Argies heads go so easy

Brazil just lost yes second string but this is Brazil

This is going to be interesting

Croatia look a well organised team to me.

Neymar?
That’s probably about it.
They’ve got goals in them,but very dodgy at the back.

Would Neymar get in the side? Even if Southgate wasn't manager.

I know he clearly must have something about him to have the career he has had, but he just seems to be more of a youTube freestyle footballer. How would he gel within the team? Would England fans rather have Neymar than a Foden? Would they try and play them both?

To be honest, rarely seen him have an amazing game, but I gave only seen a small proportion of his total games, so maybe I have missed something.

I cant stand Neymar but he'd walk into the England side yes

Agreed.
But he’s going to be Brazils all Time top scorer,so must be decent ?‍

We could play the Xmas tree formation, 4-3-2-1, with Foden and Neymar playing off Kane up front. Midfield of Rice, Phillips and Bellingham and the usual suspects in defence.

Not shown it in this tournament.

Uruguay are at the end of a cycle, much like Belgium. Difficult to judge him on this tournament.

At least Antony has scored some critical goals in his early Utd career. Time will tell what sort of player he becomes, but I think as a Utd fan, I'd like to get behind him as much as I can in his early days at the club, rather than try and pick as many holes as I can

He has actually scored a few goals cutting in off the right but without pace he's going to be easy to mark out of games once teams figure him out. For the money spent you'd expect a lot more. As always time will tell.

Brazil have been favourites all the way through this tournament. They have Fred in midfield. Would he even get into England squad? They have Richarlison up front, but he'd never keep Kane out of team at Spurs.

Would be interesting to know how many Brazil players would make England's starting line up? Casemiro maybe, though Rice seems to hold his own. Junior, although England have dangerous wide players, no matter how much we sometimes slag them off. Probably the keeper, although Pickford hasn't really let England down yet.

I would say Allison and Ederson make our side quite easily.

Apart from that maybe Alex Sandro at LB, Silva at CB due to experience? Casemiro and Neymar for sure.

Brazil aren't all that though. Overplay, no threat in the air and defensively suspect.

I judge him mainly on what I've seen at Liverpool and he looks a rough diamond. He's had some shockers but he's got all the raw attributes to be a top striker. Defenders don't like attackers that are quicker and bigger than them generally. It usually ends one way.

A headbutt?

I feel like that is the line-up against France if we get through. I feel like the Senegal game line-up will be pretty close to the one against Wales. Trippier may come back in, and maybe Saka back in for Foden.

Senegal:
Pickers
Trips, Maguire, Stones, Shaw
Rice, Hendo
Saka, Bellingham, Rashford
Kane

France:
Pickers
Trips, Walker, Maguire, Stones, Shaw
Rice, Hendo
Saka, Rashford/Sterling
Kane

Just my prediction anyway.

Only thing I'd twerk in the France line up if that was it and we got there would be grealish in for rashford

That's just because of his control of the ball and his ability to win free kicks

Could be one of them games

Really don't want to be thinking about you twerking. ?

 

[Crazyface]

Odd thing. Whilst watching uraguay yesterday I was willing them to win, really, but then the diving got ramped up. Omg what a bunch of cheats, and when they are as talented as they are. Glad they are out. Good riddance, and forever good riddance to swarez

The main dive was a disgrace.

Sorry, JRS7, but what does that actually mean?
