Well, Japan should beat Poland, so I'd prefer to finish 2nd. Never quite pans the way you think though.......
You have to go for a win in every game...you can't always predict how things will work out. How good it will be for England's confidence to go through with 3 wins.
Roy Keane said earlier, forget all Talk about anything, just concentrate on winning one game of football; your next one... or words to that affect
And he’s right. I think we’re better to go with team cohesion and momentum, than trying to get smart.
Yep. Anyone with a genuine knock, then fair enough and maybe Rashford for Sterling, would be my choices. I certainly would not change something for the sake of giving someone game time or to appease them. You can tinker if you like, depending on how the game is going with three subs.
No point in worrying about the quarter final as we aren't there yet....a little matter of beating an unknown team in the first knockout match.
IF the management does decide to go for 2nd place, makes sense to send out the reserves. Don't want to get unnecessary yellows leading to player bans later in the tournament!
Maybe rest anyone on a yellow, or do you let them pick up a yellow in the last 16 and potentially miss a ¼ final? Or do you play them and let them potentially miss the last 16. Bit like who wants to be a millionaire - use your lifelines or run the risk to use them for the potential non existent future round. Who'd be a manager.
Southgate said he might give some players a game, but not too many. Also added that he has to think about it. Both Belgium and England are free to do this, but neither would say they are playing for second.
Just spent 40 minutes watering neighbours garden whilst they are away. Beautiful morning. Great day to be working from home... see you in the patio for lunch no.7?
Poor thing....I'd hate heat like that. Ruined my holiday in Italy last year. Anyway....back to the topic....Lukaku has external ligament damage and may miss our game on Thursday.
Make it the hot tub - reduced the water temperature to 36 degrees from 40. Be just about right at lunch to cool off #WorkFromHome #LivingTheDream
