2022 World Cup.

.....and the foul continues into the penalty area.

Kanes gone down after the 1st tackle outside the box carrying him into the box, it’s 1 tackle not 2 so it’s still only a free kick.

if only Homer our resident ref was around to put us all right.
 
bellingham was allowed more freedom because he knows his defensive duties are covered and he looked lively in parts because of it

declan will never get the full backing of fans because its not the sexy assisting and scoring work
I always watch the defenders. Rice was very good imo.
He covers the back four well.
but to many times when the ball was wide we had nobody in the box.
So sideways and backwards boring football.

Stones and Maguire look like they are one mistake from total mental breakdown it shows in their faces.
But watching your strikers miss chances and pens you know one mistake and your losing.

End of the game winning that free kick for rashford to (only just) miss was some of the most frustrating football Ive seen

Rice playing sterling the ball only to get it back. Sorry raheem your suppose to drive into the box or play in a collegue.. rice had to drive to the bye line and just about managed to form a half decent ball in

Why is our CDM having to create over sterling. For crying out loud
 
Sarina Wiegman

Give her a bit of respect, she deserves it.

Her managerial record is incredible to be fair, one day soon a lady will be managing a men’s team! Only a matter of time

I don't know , I think should happen no reason for it but the press and some fans will be disgusting

Soon as we go out or a result doesn't go our way some sexist jib will arrive

GS has a liking for Sterling.
He’s a good player on his day but Saka is so much better.
Why put him on when he had just flown home and back worrying about his family.
It’s not like we didn’t have any good players on the bench.
This proves imo GS isn’t good enough to turn a chance into winning the tournament.

I’m not saying she should get the England job mate, just think she deserves the respect of being named properly ?

And I think you’re right - it will take a very very strong woman to take the reigns of a men’s football team - at any level of the game - but there are more and more of them every day.
 
.....and the foul continues into the penalty area.

We all get that you don't like England and don't want them to win but that doesn't change the rules. If that had been Mcguire on Salah in the PL you'd have been screaming for a penalty and then moaning for days if it hadn't been given.

I knew it wouldn’t be long before that tripe was pedalled out, I just never expected it from you. I’ve been very complimentary about England over the last 3 weeks and gave them credit where it was due.

I call it as I see it and on this occassion the professional arbiter of the rules got it 50% right, it wasn’t a pen but it was 100% a free kick.

Anyway I’m off out now for lunch, a few bottles Beaujolais, Ribeye Steak au Poivre, dauphinois potatoes and Creme Brûlée?
 
As I sit here now I’m thinking - who’s Englands next striker?

In my lifetime we have always had the standout 9.

Shearer, Owen, Rooney, Kane to name a few.

I can’t think of anyone close to that ability level in their early twenties… better pray there’s an academy lad somewhere about to burst on to the scene

Me neither but Kane won’t be dropped that’s part of the problem.
He won’t even take him off when the games won to give Wilson a go.

But some 16 yr old lad will be 20 by the next WC so fingers crossed GS has gone or Kane will still be in.
 
Yes I agree and for those reasons I think GS should go.
How many chances are we going to give him to get it wrong.
Managers ear their money when the chips are down, he’s not done it.
Who would you replace him with? Eddie Howe is potentially the stand-out candidate. If I was him though I wouldn’t take the England managers job while the Newcastle revolution is still in its infancy. The England job is a bit of a poisoned chalice. Huge expectations and an over-inflated view of at least a third of our players. Until someone delivers a major trophy everything will be seen as a failure.

Pub team I used to play for had a young girl as coach. When I signed on she said she would only play me for the first half in my first game and would pull me off at half time.
That was fantastic, because at my previous club we only got half an orange...

Close the thread!!
 
It's coming home! It's coming home!
The plane carrying the England team after yet another failure, and yes, they have blamed it on the referee.
He didn't give the foul that led to the first France goal. Then the French had the audacity to score again.
But listening to the radio this morning I hear that England are once again favourites for the Euro's in 18 months.
By the time of the next World Cup in 2026, England will be such hot favourites the other nations would be advised not to bother.

Reasons why England will never again lift a major trophy:
The players are so detached from the rest of the population they can't speak for themselves, and are ruled over by greedy agents.
The manager has to be politically correct.
The coaching staff remove all talent and individuality from the players.
Too much expectation and too little desire.

What team have they ever beaten in the knockout stages?
Senegal, Cameroon.
 
England's Golden Generation even with golden balls himself only got as far as the quarter finals.
Feel a bit sorry for you guys who never witnessed England winning in 1966. I did.
You will never have that experience.
My advice is don't get carried away by all the hype surrounding the team.
They are a bunch of egotistical losers.

It's quite clear that you know absolutely nothing about football

Honestly thought Kane was allergic to the box this World Cup ?

So slow too…

The use of “young girl” I think should be avoided in future ? I read that so wrong
