They will be a danger and take some stopping. Their only weaknesses may be depth as the subs made them weaker and the classic Poch work rate exhausting players before the end.
And early prediction is that Balogun gets about 3 more goals in the group stages and at least one in the knockouts and secures a big money move it England or Spain (most likely back to the prem). Usually those don’t end up working out
 
Paraguay join the list of hopeless teams then. Pulisic couldn't believe his luck that first half.

Just watched the highlights and couldn't believe how bad some of their defending was given they had an excellent defensive record in qualifying.

They've clearly been bribed by the US. Expect a huge infrastructure project, based in Paraguay, to be announced in a few days, underwritten by Trump. But that would suggest that America actually cares about the World Cup.

I know mad really given what was said before the tournament began, the occasion got to them it seems.

Bosnia, South Africa and now Paraguay all have been utter dross.

Feel for Canada but Marsch has cost them points with his tactics yesterday.

Edit; and shout out to Son for having millions of shots without scoring <laugh>

Yeah possibly the occasion and then having the worst possible start with the own goal. It'll be interesting to see how they get on in their other games.
 
Qatar Switzerland a bit meh but Brazil Morocco should be decent. Should finish at 1 so not too horrific.

Gutted that Scotland game is middle of night as really wanted to watch that. Feels like basically their entire tournament rests on this game.

Getting ahead of myself but really looking forward to seeing Japan against the Dutch tomorrow.

Getting very oranje over here, plenty of flags, pennants and bunting on display, I'll dig out my appropriately coloured kit. May watch in my local which will be rammed full or more likely on my sofa with cold beer and snacks to hand. Doing my best to ignore the shadow of Trump and Infantino, a few ice cold jenevers along with the beer will help with that.
 
So all Englands boots, balls etc have been stolen. I think England should be immediately moved to the final…only thing to do. There has been a precedent :emoticon-0138-think
Boston harbour being checked as a possible location for England's missing kit. Some aged tea chests may well come to light.

CIA up to their old tricks again. I read an article recently (a serious one in the Observer) alleging that they poisoned Gordon Banks and had Bobby Moore arrested in 1970 because Harold Wilson refused to drag us into Vietnam. Which sounds unlikely and I doubt we’d have beaten Brazil in the final anyway, but I wonder…

Yes that was aired on TV can't remember which programme but Gordon Bank's grandson was being interviewed and it came up. Stokes chin mutters and reaches for the bacofoil.
