World Cup 2018

[Lord Tyrion]

England team has been announced and a number of regulars start still. I'm surprised more squad players have not been given a game.

One last chance for Sterling to hit an elephants backside with a double bass 😁, I've had to up it from a banjo and a cow.

Let's hope we have a good open game.

Most pointless game in football.

Danny Rose, ladies and gentleman. That’s why he hasn’t been first choice.

Who cares. Joke of a nothing game.

You either win the World Cup or you don’t

There’s proper sport on today without watching this guff.

Wimbledon men’s semi and ladies final
England v India Cricket
Scottish Open

Watching this it is pretty clear that if Belgium had not won the group game against England they would probably be playing for the big prize tomorrow.

Even bigger guff imo 😜

Sentiment before tactics to win this game have been applied imo.

As much as I admire Southgate in this campaign, he’s got this one wrong imo. It’s a dead rubber match, play your fringe players who have something to prove, and will display a little more pride that’s what on show now.

Kane on his back foot and is just making up the numbers.

Spurs lost us this WC 🤔😜😳😎😉

Do you think that is why Januzaj has not been seen since 😁?

Sport is full of ifs and buts so you never know. Belgium are definitely the team I have enjoyed watching most though.

Rubbish defending.

Obviously not you but from what I watched, both sides that were playing for it.

For who ? you ? Seemed to me that's not what the players thought.

Well I guess a few of the fringe players didn’t really show why they should have played

Again England just showing that they missing the creativeness to trouble the better sides - couple of nice moves apart it seems they were looking for a set peice

Some interesting stats that I saw before the match

Only Iran had a worse shots on goal from open play record - just 6 from England in the Comp until today

Kane had no shots on goal in the KO stage - was he carrying an injury ? He is going to get the golden boot but it’s got to be the worst golden boot in a long time - penalties and deflection. Is he going To be like Rooney - milk the qualifies and then freeze in the finals ?

Belguim just waltzed through the middle and what a goal from Munier that would have been if Pickford hadn’t saved it

It’s weird because England got to the semis but they played top sides three times and lost all three - a lot of work to do before the next Euro finals

How very refreshing reading that rather than the blinkered rubbish that I've been reading and watching in the past few days/weeks.

Scored two important goals goals in the first game, scores penalties with ease (not an English trait) and wins golden boot yet you think he may freeze.....

England created nothing from open play, I recall him missing one chance agaisnt Croatia, other than that he was starved off service. Kane is one of the best forwards (finishers) in world football. If he gets chances, he gets goals. Think he’s proven in the league that he’s not a flash on the pan or flat track bully.

Where did Scotland venture to, hmm, I reckon as far as M&D’s Theme Park in Motherwell 😂

I’d rather qualify or like all things in life, try & fail than not try/qualify or be incapable of trying/competing at all!

It’s best to live a dream rather than imagine what’s it might be like whilst watching YouPorn for effect 😜

But if Sterling got into more goal scoring positions for which he was scathed for missing, does Sterling get himself into better positions by reading the game better than Kane.

Pretty sure Kane scored enough in last few years to suggest he reads the game just fine. He got the taps ins by reading the danger well.

Could be argued that Kane and others had the vision to assist Sterling, but Sterling didn’t have the vision to assist Kane.....

I if they’re both available in the summer, the queue for Kane would be longer and more illustrious.

Hopeless effort in trolling, you like many on here just don't get it do you. Trying to point score about Scotland like it's gonna wind us up, it's laughable, much like Scotland at futba :rofl:

That’s dodging the point, Kane had the chance to square to Sterling in the SF and went for goal, as an example, no one is saying Sterling is better than Kane, it’s the double standard, when Kane is criticised people drop back to his PL record or he might be carrying an injury or he never stopped running.
Sadly, by Kane’s standard he didn’t have a great World Cup, the whole team iver achieved and regardless of his 3 penalties and a lucky deflection for whatever reason he didn’t get or create the chances he does in the PL.
