World Cup 2022

I have to admit I was quite distracted during the Pol/Mex game (as a visit to the music thread may show!), only looking up when the commentators sounded interested (though with Keown on duty that was hard to detect) so maybe got a slightly distorted view.

 

League 1 against the CL.

 

Australians are always very competitive.

 

Told you.

 

Australia 1-0 (that’s one nil, not one run for no wickets)

 

Brilliant goal

 

Is it just you and me Luke?

 

Yes, but mostly you

 

Must be the wine

 

Oh no, Juve, don't you dare offer us Rabiot at a jacked-up price...

 

Moving on...

 

Worry not, the Qatari authorities will still log the official attendance of this thread as 87,643.

 

He’s definitely a character, was popular when he was up here playing for Rangers.

 

World Cup 2022: England captain Harry Kane set to have scan on right ankle on Wednesday - BBC Sport

I hope that the right decisions are taken. We all know that Harry won't want to miss matches, but much better for him to miss matches now than make it worse and miss matches for us in January.

 

I'm surprised Eng have not got more injuries, the Iranians were leaving the foot in all through the game and the ref did nothing , apart from the highlighted injury Kane had a couple and so did Trippier, Mount and Rice

 

Croatia games :

1. Starting XI - son of an ic.

2. Worth watching only to see how Perisic plays
in his ideal position ??

 

And this is why they should have taken Ivan Toney. Isn’t Callum Wilson ill or injured too?

 

Southgate will play Rashford even if Wilson is fit

 

Rashford isn’t a natural number 9, he’s better off the wing cutting in

 

I agree but I think that Southgate will play Rashford from the left with Sterling more central, but playing the 3 (with Saka) of them in a fluid front 3.

The other thing that I could see him doing his play Foden as a false 9 either way if Kane is ruled out I don't expect Wilson to start.
