Japan, Poland, France and Denmark have been a disgrace in this final round of games but suspect England and Belgium may join that list later too.
 
tbh lads i am in work so can't see what yez are on about. what the the japanese do exactly... roll over and let poland spank them?

Literally walking and passing the ball a a coupe of yards at most. Poland not even attempting to get the ball as they were already 1-0.

Very risky by Japan, they'd have been out had Senegal got a goal/draw
 
Saying the draw looks strange without Germany...

Holland and Italy not being there contributes too

yeah theres a real gap on that quarter of the draw.

England must score OGs if needed here.

a 0-0 is no good as well. need to kick ball away and get lots of yellows.

I'd put on TAA and instruct him to kick the ref if needs be.
 
the thing is the groups are about scoring goals and winning games.

The germans were not able to go do that.

But the team who is best defensively now can 1-0 or 0-0 their way to the final now.

should be interesting to see what happens next. I thin ksomeone will crawl through that way. defnding like france 1998 without zidane for suspension.
 
The commentators can waffle about team unity blah blah, but the best team isn't out there. I reckon he's going for second with an eye for an easier route.

The World Cup is a ****ing [HASHTAG]#joke[/HASHTAG]. 33% of the group stage is teams trying not to win games.

Belgium make 9 changes.

I wasn't impressed by Loftus Cheek, let's see how he does tonight. Kane will be fuming at being rested. What's the chances of him claiming a goal from the bench :bandit:

I reckon he'll still play a part; it'll be 0-0 going into the dying minutes with us having picked up a coupe of yellow cards. Kane will come on a bag the winner a claim to be a hero despite ****ing his country up the arse
