People are reading too much into it and there's a panic that the bubble will burst. At the end of the day I still don't see you winning it whereas Croatia or Belgium could pull it off, reason being you lot will panic once you get a good team and go all gung ho and get caught out. If you can keep calm heads and be a hard side to beat you pull off a shock but that isn't going to happen once you get Spain or Brazil, there will be a call to arms and John Stones will be playing as a second striker.
Even if we lose to Colombia I’d disagree tbh, because if they beat us we’d have been trousered by Brazil anyway! What we’ve done is given ourselves the best chance we’ve had of getting to a WC SF in living memory. If we’d have been offered having to beat Colombia and then either Switzerland or Sweden to make it to the last 4 before the competition started we’d have snatched it.
We found that out by playing them in this game. A dead rubber with no injury risk to top players, Kane etc.
Definitely Vardy. And Leicester have been the team of the tournament so far. Leicester’s stadium has been the stadium of the tournament so far and their proposed training ground has been the proposed training ground of the tournament so far.
... must be your time of the month ... have you tried Evening Primrose Oil? ... especially recommended for ageing frustrated cricketers ... have a nice day
As Southgate probably already knew (as we now do) , there is a strongest starting XI, and most of the team yesterday ain't part of it.
