Current World Cup winner odds... Germany: 5/1 Brazil: 8/1 Spain 8/1 Argentina 8/1 France: 11/1 Italy: 16/1 Belgium: 20/1 England: 22/1
I still haven't figured out how we managed to win last night. Don't think Hart should start the next game, hopefully Pickford is fit again.
The ones that everyone said we needed to get rid of? For years the messageboards experts on international football have said we need to get rid of the old guard. It was Rooney for a while too. Now it's Hart apparently. Seems whoever the big, established players are people moan about them. Then when they're gone people appreciate them.
It probably does look like I and many more dislike Hart but his form hasn't been good last season, so far this season and in tournaments for England. Surely you play the form player not a keeper who used to be good? he's very prone to mistakes now. Last night he should've stopped there goal.
I don't think that applies to Hart at all, his age is irrelevant, he's simply not the best option available.
Yet every England manager for years has disagreed. I think you'd struggle to find a manager who wouldn't pick him.
Guardiola certainly wouldn't. The third most expensive goalkeeper signing of all time is English and should be England's No.1.
Got to say that over the last couple of seasons Hart' s stock has gone down .. the younger hungrier Pickford and tbf Jack Butland have performed much better then him .. whether it is a crisis of confidence after being shunned by Pep or just taken his foot off the gas I don't know.. but certainly he should be down the pecking order for starts .. currently I'd put Pickford Butland and Heaton in front of him
Guess i'm dumb but why is international football seen as the top level of football? (Skill and ability wise) There are a few teams that are brilliant but i don't think there is any international team as good as some club sides (the top club sides do have a few international players of the same nationality) 95% of the time internationally you are playing against players no where near the world class level
France 11/1? Spain 8/1?? i'll have some of that even Belgium at 20/1 is not money wasted. They do under achieve but they have the talent to fluke it
