World Cup 2018

Have to say the pitches dont look that special, most if not all premiership pitches look better.
The one last night (think it was Croatia/Nigeria) looked like one man had mown it with a 16 in Hayter at different heights

One man went to mow ... went to mow a meadow ......

Can I just say that the more I hear of him the more I like Southgate. He seems the first manager we have had who is from the modern age and treats his players like adults. Don't think we will get anywhere near the final as he does not have the players at his disposal. But best of luck to him and I think when/if we go out it won't be down to a clueless manager who is stuck in then past and is enthralled to star players.

Going on Germany's performance so far England has as good a chance as anyone.

The game is set up for someone like Sane , still can’t understand why he isn’t there

But the worst thing about the game is Phil Neville - my god he must be the worst out there. It’s nearly as bad as Giggs story about Quiros

Well done Mexico

 

[MegaSteve]

Think Germany were lucky with losing by only the one goal...

Do you seriously have a nice word to say about anybody,whether its golf,cricket,football or rugby you have a dislike for many people.
Try and give me an answer Phil because I would really like to know.

Totally agree as was highlighted by ITV,just the final ball sometimes not good enough.Great scenes at the end so much passion.
Hope tomorrow is the same.

Yep Mexico should have had a hatful if they showed more composure in front of goal - Hummels and Boeteng were horribly exposed by the fullbacks just going forward and forgetting to track back. Germany looked tired

Thing is re Sane he just doesn't seem the normal German player, he has pace and is at times flamboyant. He might not fit into the German technical machine. But he would of been an excellent plan B with 20 mins to go

If only winning the world cup just involved being as good as a strangely under par Germany on one performance.

Quality strike from Coutinho - up there with Nacho for the goal of the Comp so far

They did, but I thought they were one of the countries held up as an example of why WE needed a winter break?

I could be a bit harsh here, but Neymar has been pants.

Forget that cockatoo barnetted sissy clown and get the golf on!

As someone who is more Welsh than English I find it strange that so many are knocking a side that has gone through the under 18,s and under 21,s together before a ball has been kicked.

He does like to fall to the floor whenever an opponent comes near him.

A fabulous hit indeed, but Nacho's was just gorgeous ...................... I'd be surprised if I see a better goal throughout the tournament.
Good to see Argentina, Brazil and Germany struggle in their opening games.
England to win 3-1 tomorrow.

Excuse me, but what is so wrong about Phil Neville?
