England v Belgium

Yep, the tournament starts now.

 

We should go back to the team that started the 1st game. Rashford for Sterling though.

 

It's been brilliant up to now.


I will miss watching three games a day. At least now I can do other stuff though.

 

Oh it's been a good tournament but it's the nitty gritty now. No 2nd chances.

 

That's ok, glad someone appreciates me.

 

I'm sure someone does

 

I'd rather have Cattermole than ****ing ****e like Dier, tbh. Cattermole is a great player, gets his tackles in, sprays the ball about. A proper midfield general.

I'm dying here, mate. I got involved in a bar brawl with about 30 students last night - flung about 8 pints at them, I was just grabbing random peoples drinks and using them as weapons. Cost me a few quid replacing them when everything had settled down. Free loading, tax dodging tramps. No hard feelings though, their in-store discount remains.

 

Have you ever considered meditation? Serious, btw.



Glad I'm not the only middle aged git who still occasionally loses his **** under provocation. I feel like **** for days after doing it though, and that's without ever hitting anyone (usually end up going eyeball to eyeball til the other guy/guys back down, which they so far they always have).

 

I still love a bar brawl. Me and the missus will take on anyone.

 

Can take the boy out of Chelsea...

 

Sounds like a proper England fan get together for a game actually.

 

i think he provides more than Young, who slows the game up by cutting inside - every time, without fail.

He’s rusty as he hasn’t played much. But he offers a lot more going forward imo.

 

I'd certainly keep Young in for Rose who doesn't look fit.

 

Fackin right mate, cmon lets ave it!

 

Major problem yesterday was the lack of creativity ... Rashfotd's one and only real chance created by his strike partner... Don't think Vardy had a single chance... not sure Kane in for either would have made much difference .... we missed Lingard and even Henderson who has played some fine quick long passes ... build up yesterday was turgid and lacking any invention ... that said, I do like Loftus-cheek

 

He can offer all he wants going forward but letting the right sided midfielder dance around you over and over again isn’t going to help your team out much. I don’t think he should be in the squad at all if he’s not match fit.

 

Agreed. England worry me defensively, they seemed to be opened up quite easily at times.

 

I think we certainly missed Kane as a focal point and we didn't really have any pattern to our play.

 

He’s rusty. Needs to play more, that’s all. Yes, he’s probably not 100% but for an hour he’ll offer you a threat down the left.

Young offers nothing imo. More of a hindrance than a help.

 

Never thought I'd say this, but Henderson is the lynch pin of this side. Missed him massively yesterday.

Kane has an instinct for always being in the right place; Vardy is an excellent finisher, but he doesn't have that quality - he won't create his own chances from nothing like the very best strikers do, and Kane will.
