World Cup 2018

[2blue]

With the 'Sin-bin' being utilised in so many other team games it's hard to understand why football is unable to see how this would quickly address so many of the current issues where the ref does not want to give a 2nd Yellow.

It's simply a case of telling teams that it's only the captain that can approach him. When others rush up to him, the ref simply says to the respective captain, "You'd best send him away, or I will!".
VAR for simulation etc.... same result.
Could result in some interesting 11 a'gin 8 or 9 for a few games before players realise its not a reet good idea.
YES.… I realise.... too simple

 

[Orikoru]

Nice touch...

Several homes, around here, are flying the flag of Colombia alongside their flags of St George...

What? Why?

 

[Kellfire]

Neymar would be proud of that one.

 

[pokerjoke]

You have to say after watching Sweden there's a massive incentive to win tonight.
Both teams woeful finishing.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

What? Why?

Same reason the Tartan Army were flying the Icelandic flag...…...they are Internationalists bless them.

World Class = the number of times you can rollover when challenged.

Neymar, for all the skill that he possesses and money earned, is exactly what we're talking about here.
I certainly wouldn't want him to be a member of my team.

Yes, the "afters" today were out of order, but his reaction was probably worse.
Would you want such a self centred wuss on you side in conflict?

Fart near him and he'd be gasping for air!

I couldn't agree more .................. an absolutely despicable footballer and role model.

Belgium beat Japan 3-2 last night, just in case the experts on here missed the result. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Why shouldn’t a nation get behind one of its sports team? We can dream, we can hope, we can speculate, WHY NOT?

Nobody has said England WILL win the WC, some of said we COULD, we also could get beat by Columbia tonight or any other future fixture if we get through.

The constant putting down others and criticising selections even when we win is the sign of very boring miserable people.

I’m positive there are, so called, English football supporters on this thread just waiting for England to lose so they can tell us everything that is wrong with the squad, team selection, formation etc etc.

............... and don't forget, some English forummers amongst us are not supporters of our national team.

And never have any interest and rarely watch

That’s a really big bonus for England with James missing out - just got to watch out for Quintero - will be interesting to see if he is the real deal or not

 

[USER1999]

Typical tpc national anthem.

 

[Tashyboy]

Tonight is the the night England can progress to the semis.

Cmon England.

 

[USER1999]

Its gone all tippy tappy.

 

[Imurg]

Has Trippier got a flip-top head..?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Good so far. Decent spells of possession and Ospina looked a little iffy at that free kick. Quintera looking busy for them so can't relax.

 

[Captainron]

Sterling is bloody garbage!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Sterling is bloody garbage!

Not for the first time this campaign. Still if he scores, even off his butt cheek and we win, for once, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt

 

[Beezerk]

Sterling is bloody garbage!

Absolutely, where is Southgate with his massive shepherds crook? What a waste of a place in the team.

 

[Imurg]

Sterling is bloody garbage!

He's not done much to persuade me that he should be in the team ...given the ball away too many times

 

[fundy]

Henderson thinking hes Neymar lol, youre face isnt in your chest lol

 

[HowlingGale]

Henderson thinking hes Neymar lol, youre face isnt in your chest lol

Wonder how many people will be asking for retrospective review for his Rivaldoesque 'cheating'

 

[Captainron]

Henderson thinking hes Neymar lol, youre face isnt in your chest lol

Went down like he’d been given a right hook by Mike Tyson. Get up soft lad
