Argentina will probably win 2-1...

They did. the Aussie Keeper to blame for both Argentinian goals. Should have saved Messi’s shot. What’s worse is listening to Jugs and the drug test avoided sucking Messi’s phallus. Messi’s will still never be as good as Maradona..
 
I hate it when commentators say something like "he's playing almost like a quarter-back there". I have no idea how a quarter-back plays as I have no interest (or should I say zero interest?) in American sports.
I don't mind that some people do, but please keep their specialist terminology where it belongs.


I believe a quarterback is the player that gets a cheerleader pregnant and has his coach force all his teachers to give him As instead of failing him for not knowing anything.

At least that's what I've learnt about the position from TV.
 
Such a frustrating line up. The players we have scream 4222, think Brazil in the 90s with Cafu & R.Carlos. Get Trent and Shaw attacking with Rice & A.N.Other at CDM.

Let Foden & A.N.Other roam about behind the front two causing damage.

Gets the most creative two (Foden & Trent) in the side whilst maintaining balance left to right and defence to attack.

Least Foden starts, wrong position but he starts.

Harsh on Rashford too imo, deserved to keep his spot.

No chance. Cb is very weak. Can’t have both full backs bomb forward and leave them back there.

If mount was in any decent form would stick him in for Hendo but otherwise prob same line up I’d pick as well
 
May be a spanish language broadcast I'm having to watch but "God Save the King" (boo) was in English.

Not many Senegalese singing the himno Nacional of Senegal.

Did you miss the bit about two DMs...?

Brazil had poor CBs and keeper back then too btw

We play with 2 dms in the current set up? Doing that and having full backs play as wingers still leaves huge gaps down the side that our centre backs would have to fill
 
Senegal looks better (England has an ugly kit). But England's performance looks better.

We're leaving a lot of space open for counter attacks though and we know we have a bad defence. I can see us conceding on a counter attack.

No, you're right, that Brazil team was shocking. We should stick with ten men behind the ball instead to accommodate Maguire... <doh>
 
Penalty would have been absurdly harsh there considering contact occurred after he was already stumbling and missed his kick.
