WORLD CUP 2026

[Star of David Bardsley]

Hundreds of vans and cars with Scotland flags going around up here, and plenty of bunting and flags at houses too

Not many England flags though - I was tempted but don't want my house burnt down

I had a fun conversation with our UK marketing manager about why it’s not a good idea to put an England flag on our products being sold in Scotland. My great insight was that we don’t actually all support all the UK teams and it might not go down brilliantly to have a St George’s flag in Aberdeen.

What a hash they just made of trying to get the ball out of their own end with multiple back passes and balls back to Pickford, ending in a corner to Croatia. For Christ sake, just clear your bloody lines as schoolboys are taught to do.

Croatia playing a high press making England look quite nervous at the start of this game

 

[Steelmonkey]

Penalty!

 

[Steelmonkey]

Kane misses, but gets a retake and smashes it home

 

[Kilburn]

Wow, we got lucky for a change. Not the type of move Modric usually makes or Kane getting his 1st penalty shot saved, but the goalie did move off his line towards Kane to try and narrow the angle.

Why is Madueke afraid of the byline? He’s too predictable at the edge of the box now. Vary your game ffs

 

[Kilburn]

Wow, that was a barn stormer equalizer!

 

[SW Hoops]

Typical Kane!! 2-1. Great goal

 

[Kilburn]

What a response by Harry Kane, the one guy you should be marking from a corner kick, duh Croatia.

I don’t rate the bloke but I think he’s done quite well overall. Certainly more so than Gordon.

2-2, hint of offside but the English defence fell asleep there

 

[Kilburn]

Just like us, can't hold a lead into half-time!

 

[Sooperhoop]

Too many easy games have lifted expectations but that defence is being found out now we're playing better sides. Can we outscore them now? It may come down to who has the better subs...

 

[bunmahon_ranger]

I thought we'd be ultra defensive and keep the ball, like boring but effective...we're a strange mix of counter press/attack and looking a bit dodgy at the back...their first was just a great goal though

 

[Star of David Bardsley]

Think both their goals were very good even if Pickford on his day stops at least one but not picking Guehi is an odd one. Not convinced Stones nor James are 100%.

There’s plenty to like though. People will grumble if we don’t win but a draw is fine really.

**** THE DRAW WE’RE WINNING THE WHOLE THING

WAy to start the second half - Bellingham with a great goal

 

[Trammers]

That's a decent start to the 2nd half.....
