That's next week That came round fast! Surely the last group game will be the decider... whoever wins out of Iran v USA will finish second behind Wales What say you Aswan?
So what do you reckon to England's chances? I don't follow the prem so I'm not too familiar with England's squad.
Defence doesn't look great. I prefer Pope to Pickford although it looks like Pickford will start. Stones and Maguire don't inspire confidence in central defence. Kieron Trippier having a good season at Newcastle and will start at right back, Luke Shaw at left back. Reece James and Ben Chilwell injured. Going forward England look much better. Quarter-finals perhaps?
The council have fenced off and put up big marquee mumbles road end of singleton park to watch the footy ! Doubt itll be free to go in but maybe ? Big screen n beer could be good there if we progress ?
Driving up to Surrey today, there was a sports reporter on the radio who thought that Iran would definitely qualify out of the group …… So no point doing a thread for England if they’re only going to be there for 3 matches ……
Doubtless they will be compensated. They had an exclusive contract to supply beer during the tournament, so it looks like that contract has been shredded. Pintless going out there now.
There are still Fan Fest areas that will be serving beer, where they can accommodate thousands. There’s no booze being sold in the stadium - although booze is available in the corporate hospitality areas: so the ordinary fan is ‘shafted’ again
I doubt they will have a Fan Fest area where gay visitor's can indulge their preferences. I fear for any gay's caught in a compromising position. Lousy idea holding any kind of tournament in such a country.
Corruption is the backbone of all these tournaments, with numerous people getting their heads together, rigging votes, and making multi million pound/dollars/euros deals, behind closed doors. Sickening, really. I can't bring myself to follow any of these tournaments.
